That pic shows nothing!

Hmmmmm, that doesn't really give anything away.
How can people comment on it?

They've just posted a profile pic.

Lovely profile and I do like the stickers! :-[ You thinking what I'm thinking Vincent? :D

Doesn't look anything different to bats already offered?

Really? I think it has a higher spine than any other bat Newbery offer and the stickers are of a similar design to the Cenkos. It's fairly different from anything else Newbery offer IMO.

I meant in general. Not just from newbury.
The tour was quite unique in it's round non spineless. And I suppose iwas expecting something just as revolutionary,
Stickers and grip colour I am fond off.

I do find Newbery bats very boring, I've never been interested in owning a newbery - the colours are nice and different. Refreshing however mainly because I find the brand boring I'm not interested.
-
Wow, that looks stunning! :D Can't wait to see this in the flesh next week! :)
Kudos to Newbery for bringing out another impressive bat... :D
-
have to agree with smilley792. nothing special about the profile. and the pics don't show much else.
on the other hand, if this was a spartan, we would have comments like 'cheap asian bat'
-
So turquoise seems to be the colour for next season
Kook, GM and now Newbery all have new bats with this colour scheme.
The bat looks lovely by the way - the shape looks tremendous.
-
Those stickers :o i think they could challenge in the best stickers comp 2014!
-
That sort of Emerald colour is this current years 'colour of the year', it's currently auburn that's coming in to style.

I like it.
-
That looks very very nice, looks a big bat and like the profile
-
Not a bad looking bat. I quite like the colour scheme also.
Kudos seems to be a somewhat popular name for new bats. Bradbury has brought out the Kudos for the new Aussie season..
-
That bat is sex!
Although the stickers beg me to ask the question, is it gonna be another £1000 bat? Or mayne a baby one, the low low price of £800?
-
The profile is nothing special by today's standard, that's true. But it is a more modern profile for Newbery. And I'm not a massive fan of the stick design.
Having said all that I have a soft spot for Newbery bats and they are always pressed very, very well. So this is definitely on my radar. :)

A lot of other bats are pressed well as Newbery bats...

Looks like the same colourway as the vantage emerald. Nice shape and understated graphics the way the newbery should be (bring back the zeus!)
-
This shape is based on virender sehwag's bat.
-
Popped into the newbery shop at hove this morning and had a play around with a few bats, picked up the kudos and it was love at first sight. Picks up very nicely, quite similarly to the GT. stickering was beautiful. Available in a fortnight, Pre-ordered mine already.

So wouldn't need much footwork to use it then :D .It looked quite Asian shaped , a tad higher middle than the new shaped Mjolnir. Hopefully not much concave to the profile.

Are they priced similar to other Newbery bats or higher ?.

I've got a sponsorship from newbery, and the guy said that it'll be only about a tenner more expensive than the thruxton. So I'm guessing it'll be a similar price.

I was in there on Friday, and saw they had a couple in the office. They do look lovely and one of them had the best pick up I've felt for a long time.

I'm loving the stickers coming out these days. It looks like most batmakers are turning the corner when coming to styling. Less is more. I'm sure BlankBats would agree!
-
I'm noticing more and more that brands are placing more time and effort in their stickers/decals. It seems to be increasingly important to stand out on the shelf and catch the eye. Newbery probably took the hint with the way the Tomahawk was received, which is an excellent bat, and a lovely shape, but not very well liked purely because of the stickers! Good to see them not making the same mistake with the Kudos!
-
Any sign of Bradbury in the UK for 2014?
-
Would you say these stickers are eye catching though?
The reason for the relaunch of the cadbury stickers was to stand out more on TV.
These are very nice but i doubt they will stand out from a mile away.
(I'm a huge Newbery fan by the way)

Will know more about this after the Lord's show. We are hoping to get them back for next year...

I think they stand out for being different, not by being visible from a distance. But maybe I should wait until I see them in the flesh on Thursday before making such assumptions! Point is, I think they are nicer looking than, say, the Tomahawk, and the fact that the Cenkos ones are similar certainly adds value for me...

Will be fun if they stick with their Kudos.

Sorry fellas but allow me to respectfully disagree, the Kudos is a beautiful addition to the Newbery range. If you want a "Radical" or "Revolutionary" bat, you should focus on the new Gray Nicolls sticks, they certainly seem to enjoy sculpting some funky shapes out of their willow. In my experience Newbery have never faltered in the looks or performance departments... And when that new cherry effortlessly hurtles off the sweet spot and towards the boundary, I am certainly not bored. :)
-
Props for the best username for ages.
I agree that Newbery bats are lovely. Unfussy and made for making runs. I still miss my GT Players for this very reason....
-
Cheers Alvaro. I love the GT's "Cadury" stickers but the middle is a little too high for me. I'm thinking of a getting a custom bat from Newbery for next season, probably a similar shape to the new Mjolnir, nice low middle to spank it over the bowlers head!
-
We've previewed this bat in our Gear This Week feature - liked the profile, colour scheme and embossed stickers. Who doesn't like something fresh and minty? Seem to be getting pre-ordered by the bucketload as well!?

I've got a GT, and I thought the middle would be slightly too high at first but the pick up just felt amazing (had a harry potter 1st wand moment when I selected the bat)
Having since used it the middle on these bats is massive, i've no idea how Newbery have done it, but the GT is a blinder. When they announce the retiring of that model think i'll max a credit card on GT's to last me until my cricket ending days.

Thought this might be worth adding to this thread...
Newbery Kudos Cricket Bat Review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXjK7-jLU_s#ws)

After watching the review I'm thinking that my 2.15 is going to be quite a big bat when it arrives!!

we had one made for a customer 2.13 and it was huge especially the edges
-
I have 3 Kudos profile bats on the way with one being a laminate. Looking forward to seeing them.

one of our Pro/LE bat profile is Kudos and we had this shape available since last year as my own son plays with a very similar profile
-
I had the pleasure of picking a kudos up today and it was ok. These bats are obviously pressed very well , but I wasn't overly impressed by the pickup . If I was in the market for a T20 style/lowered shoulder bat I think there are nicer profiled bats out there. They certainly tick the big edge box and also the nice stickers box so I am sure they will sell very well.

You might find them boring but they absolutely go like a shot gun owned at least 30 of them and next to Salix are the best bats going around.
-
Want to own a salix but do they do any models which have a mid to high sweetspot?

Would say out of their 2013 lineup of bats the Torque has the highest middle, although probably a mid to high sweetspot. What the 2014 lineup may hold who knows yet?

We should know a lot more after we visit them on Wednesday!! Right now, all I have is a price list...

To be honest l am basing my views on the middle position on looks, only because I don't know anyone who owns one so I can have a play around in the nets. I'm sure the pick up is feather-light (ha, did the bat choose you?) The only Newberys I've had are the Zeus (absolute beast) and the classic Mjolnir, my old faithful (she's on her way out). I like my willow with a middle on the lower side and a couple of grips to get the balance right (Not that balance is a problem with my 2lbs 10 Mjolnir). Thanks for the GT knowledge though MD, if I get the chance to play with one, I may have to have a re-think.
