STUNNING Knocked CP Laser Cricket Bat Review

Here is my review of the stunning CP Cricket Laser I knocked recently. This bat was sent in by Simon from Pt Pirie in South Australia and was the bat he purchased with a store credit for the broken GM Ross Taylor.
I rarely revisit models, but this was an exception due to it was stunning and I wanted to get my hand on the GM and attempt a laminate toe break repair.

I do this as a hobby and I do not make any money doing this or get paid to create the videos. So owners of the bats cover the return freight costs of bats sent in and I do not always accept a bat for a variety of reasons and do not run a bat knocking service as the time it takes to create content is considerable.
All videos are owned by CricketBatInfo. All views are that of the owner and are based on a one-off experience from an individual bat and not a whole range or brand.

Looks very tidy. I like your idea of the tennis racquet tape under the grip...genius!

[@CricketBatInfo]

Thankyou Michael. Been doing it for a while and they are cheaper way than a grip

[@zachaman4458]

Got to view CP bats at a local retailer for the first time, nice bats, very impressed with the finishing and overall quality

[@CricketBatInfo]

Thanks Zach. Great share.

[@grantcarncross5380]

Absolutely brilliant grains, great looking bat, high quality.

[@CricketBatInfo]

It’s definitely a bat you look twice at. Stunning grains

[@batsman38]

once again a bloody god vid just love them please keep doing them

[@CricketBatInfo]

No worries Richard. Just filmed five lots of B-roll so more stuff coming

[@kamadowoah4584]

Lovely looking grains.....I think with that profile be best for a turf cricketer not a synthetic hard wicket hack like myself.

[@CricketBatInfo]

It’s certainly going to be used on a variety of wickets types. Id be leaving or defending the lengths I cannot turn into half volleys. Which is about 99% at my age🤣

[@cpcricket8347]

Hi Marc excellent review

[@CricketBatInfo]

Ta

[@rahim_2005]

Nice bat

[@benwood9834]

Nice review Marc. Another pro of rounded toes is how much better a bat can pick up after rounding the toe. So much weight (particularly for a bat with a thicker toe) can come out (and from so low) that the bat can pick up multiple ounces lighter.

[@CricketBatInfo]

So true. Don’t forget the other issue - bat toe gets snagged on the turf and you end up with a handle tip in the legs or balls. Ouch. Seen a few nasty slide attempts with square toes with players suffering nasty injuries to shoulders. Do not recommend

[@faizanraza4747]

Calipers and Gauge was your USP! I first subscribed your channel for that very reason, and of course your 'no bones about it' straight to the point reviews... I absolutely love 'The Gauge n Caliper' format.. Many people copied your style and garnered views! Please don't do away with it.. It'd be a Hurt! A bad One!

[@CricketBatInfo]

We will see how this video goes. Stats don’t lie. Channel growth is stagnant, likes and comments down.

[@taylormarshall8945]

I would keep the measurements, one of the most important things I look for when buying a bat. Also, would love for you to review a Millichamp & Hall bat if someone sends one in!

[@CricketBatInfo]

Me too. Seem rare in Australia. Old ones accepted.

[@dilhanthasamaratunga6800]

Would love to see the measurements in the review. I am a big fan of that.

[@CricketBatInfo]

Trend here in the comments. I add something and get no feedback, take away something and the world is on 🔥. Use the chapter’s in this video?

[@karmakaramlan]

Appreciate your feedback on the square toe. I had a custom made bat with a square toe that broke exactly where you showed and it's not possible to fix it. Also how to add counter weight at the top of the handle for better pickup?

[@CricketBatInfo]

Use tape or grip off-cuts on very tip of handle. In my experience it will not help once the bat is 2.11 plus

[@shoaibmughal3628]

Waiting for you to review gray nicholos new range .

[@CricketBatInfo]

Me too. I offered GN to do that, but they said no. So i’ll just wait for the new season.

[@shoaibmughal3628]

You know what i am only gonna buy GN after your review:)

[@riverblanker6616]

Great work Mark, keep your pecker up about the weather - you could be living in the UK..!!

[@CricketBatInfo]

Generally we do in Summer. Houses are built for hot not cold and sheds are just extremes of both. Opposite for you. Chin raised

[@moebinreza2871]

I just feel when bat manufacturers reduce all the wood by the splice and shoulder the bat gets compromised for Crack and breakage, you can have slight concaving at the bottom but if they leave the wood up top the bat gets better balanced and should not feel bottom heavy

[@CricketBatInfo]

I played with bats in the 90s with massive 28 mm edges!

[@moebinreza2871]

@@CricketBatInfo everyone nowadays are looking for 40+ edges I think its overrated

[@Jaymz001]

If you pop up the measurements as you talk through them maybe??

[@CricketBatInfo]

Maybe. We will see.

[@liamgriffiths3911]

Pros- lovely willow, classy looking decals, hitting area taps up well Cons- thin shoulders, square toe, flat face all together a recipe for breakage Side note why do people focus on measurements ? A smaller well pressed and made bat is better than a 65 mm spine plank. feel, balance and performance are the most important factors when choosing a bat Would I buy one of these, no

[@CricketBatInfo]

Yep. Let’s all get academy width bats with 42 mm edges muhahaha

[@mustafayawari5036]

great bat but not good for slogging and power hitting

[@CricketBatInfo]

Agreed, some people are mad buying expensive bats for slogging. Better to look at grades 4-2 if you play loose

[@itscoolsam]

Nor that great value , ping distribution is okay.

[@CricketBatInfo]

Its cleaner and cheaper than some SS I did recently. People buy this on Looks and its got that in spades.
