I have agreed to buy a Newbery Mjolnir SPS from my local shop- they are ordering it in direct from Newbery with my weight recommendations etc...
Now, I'm suffering from buyers remorse so someone please say that it is going to be an amazing bat for my peace of mind?
Pretty Please :)

It's going to be terrible and you won't be able to hit it off the square with it...... lol
I'm sure it'll be a belter mate :)!
My junior uzi sps was class
-
I have seen UZI and Krakatoa in action and they are amazing bats. Mjolnir should be on the same lines

That sounds more like it hahaha :)
I hope so chaps :)
The Mjolnir suits my style of play more than my Blueroom so, with any luck, it should be right bat for me :)
I'm just worried about getting a lemon.

No chance of getting a lemon SPS from Newbery. Theyre always amazing

I had a Mjolnir about 10 years ago and its was a belter. Good for all round play. One of the best performing bats I've owned, which sadly got nicked. For some strange reason I've never bought another one but then again I've never bought any bat twice. I also had an Uzi which just flew. It was a bit heavy so sold it to a mate and regretted it ever since. You can't go wrong with Newbery in my eyes they seem to consistently produce top performing bats.

Which local shop bud??

Rubbish hate to say this but all brands makers do occasionally make bad bats
They do not mean to Iam sure every bat ever made has the intention of Heinz the best
But by buying a established brand and makers you have lesser chance of a duffer

Nature of cricket bat willow being a natural product, some of it is going to be more responsive than others, Regardless of weight grain structure etc.

Warwick Sports. They have a good sale on at the moment, and the 5* Mjolnir in there was delightful but didn't look like a 'pinger', so I asked them to order one in. Pleased to support a great local business.
Hopefully mine won't be a Lemon then chaps :)

Has anyone come across a bad Newbery? Especially SPS

not yet - my thruxton SPS from Asad has been by far the best bat i've used - third season now and still a belter. even their lower grades perform very well

I got a Newbery Mjolnir SPS , Harrow size, and two things with it. First, mine does not ping like what i expected from an SPS, and second, the Harrow size is NOT a traditional english profile. Infact i plan to send it back to Newbury to have them check the bat, and see what they have to say. Anyways, the reviews i read before i bought mine, were that they are great. Not the big modern edges, but a middle that means business. I'm sure your bat will be great. Do leave in a review once you get your bat.
-
It's probably made in India hence the Indian profile.
Newbery Jnr bats aren't made in the UK.
-
The only bats i've got are a series one SPS and mjolnir 5*. Both are superbly balanced bats (both 2.11) with huge middles. I don't buy into the huge edge trend (effectively what it is), I much prefer to try and use the middle of my bats - that's where i want the meat.
I'm sure your bat will go just fine billy.

I brought Newbery SPS Thruxton in 2010 season. Normal bat(2'9) - no huge edges bull - 2011 it opened up to be a beast.
To the point - I own two of those now(One 2'9 and one 2'10).
SPS - Screams quality. :)
-
Jagminder - there is a very important point that everyone should take from your post!
The fact that the bat opened up once it had been played in completely!
People seem to expect bats to play well from the off, and get frustrated or bored too early! And sometimes sell the bat on and the new owner keeps playing with the bat which then (usually if it's a quality bat) gets better and better! I have purchased one or two bats myself that the seller didn't give enough time to and then a couple of months down the line starts to respond like a trampoline!! 8)

Agreed Pete. Willow is a natural product - User just have to find perfect amount of "playing in" time to bring the best out of it.
And for every bat it will be different - Few peak sooner than others depending on the pressing.
If its a quality stick - it will open up to be good.
Patience is the key. :)
-
It doesn't help when lads get a new bat and will not net with it... what?!
Get it knocked in, get it played in and then its ready for the season and some runs... ;)
-
I bought a Thruxton SPS a couple of months ago. Only 30mm edges a spine that must be only 35mm but it is unbelievable. So much power. It jarred on mishits and felt quite hard initially but it has had about a dozen net sessions now and that jarring sensation is not as noticeable. It is one of the best bats I own.
-
Hi mate, i just got a GT SPS and the thing is a GUNN and thats before its been fully knocked in. Newbery do not make a bad SPS ever.

Of course they do, nobody's perfect!

I guess the point is that as the SPS are specially selected Players models, they shouldn't be a bad one- but that doesn't account for willow issues etc.
Anyway, I'm picking it up tomorrow !!! :)

Well all being said I myself have never used a poor Newbery let alone an sps so the odds are overwhelmingly on your side :D
-
Get it mate??
-
Not exactly.
I'll give it a review when I actually get it. Not Warwick sports fault, mind, they have been excellent.
-
What happened??
-
Can't say at this moment in time. :S
-
Inbox me if you want bud

Did you get your bat? If yes, any first impressions?
