Went to the expo today, wasn't a lot going on so I went to have a look in the lords shop, some nice sticks in there but the prices all £RRP.
Anyway, has a little look at the new pro grain tomahawk and the lighting in there is good, so when you held the bat upto the light on a different angle you can see the proper grains and the fake grains that have been added.
I'll post pictures of this later when I get back. Interesting to say the least.

I would rather see the wood as it is, knots and staining and all.
this just doesn't work for me
-
Bizarre....
Looks like someone has just filled in the gaps with a pen, if I were going to make a grain sheet I'd've made it way nicer looking than that!!

I to was at the expo today and seeing these confirmed to me that they are the worst bat i have ever seen, the fake grain looks just that, fake, the sticker design is rubbish and pick up was awful IMO
-
I'm suprised Newbery would do something like this
-
Thats just ridiculous looking! Why would they do that...

It isn't a grain sheet, it's some sort of dye I believe they're using to make their willow look like it has more grains then it does.

Thats just crazy. The craziest thing is I bet it works with some people.
"Oooh these have a lot of grains, must buy one!"
Just looks stupid to me. Would expect more from Newbery...
-
Looks aweful. Looks like something one of the asian bat makers would do, never thought newbery would do that.
-
Disgraceful, expected better from Newbery.
-
I think they should've just adapted the clear cenkos labels for the John Newbery tribute bat. That would've oozed class
-
wouldn't expect to see that from a brand like Newbery, looks ridiculous!
-
I'm a bit worried about the direction Newbery are taking with their branding, the new stickers and bags look hideous - the total opposite of what I always thought Newbery stood for, and the reason I love their kit - classical, elegant and quality.

Especially with their new bags as well ???
-
I believe the correct word is MINGING!
-
Doesn't look good at all. Seems rather pointless...
-
As if the JN graphic is not bad enough on these bats already?!!? What is their marketing dept smoking???
-
:D well I had heard some companies were having grains printed on the scuff sheets but couldn't believe it till now. I don't know whatever next
-

Some real good stuff I guess. :D
-
How are they allowed to do this? Surely its false advertsing, or is that just me being naive?
