Title: The Bounty from our visit to Newbery yesterday...
Post by: ItsJustCricket on January 30, 2014, 06:21:10 PM
As some of you will be aware, Chris and I visited Newbery yesterday, which has become our home away from home in recent months!  :)

We picked out these 30 bats whilst there.  They are expected to arrive in our store tomorrow, so I will update the thread with pics shortly afterwards...

For now, all I will say is that the Kudos bats are getting nicer and nicer (and lighter and lighter)...  :)

Adding to this, I was really pleased with a few things from our trip yesterday. Firstly, the selection of Harrow and Junior bats in general was absolutely outstanding, and we certainly grabbed a dew absolute crackers. Secondly, the bats were in very accessible weights, the Kudos as Paul said was available in lighter weights than before, and we also picked out a number of other bats in 2"7-2"9. Finally, the quality of the 5* grade was absolutely ridiculous. These bats are selling for around £150 and they are absolute rockets, and plenty of them look very nice to boot. Fair to say we were really blown away by their mallet response and looks, and we think these bats offer as good value for money as anything out there.

PS. The photo of the bats in the circle is about as artistic as I get, took me plenty of attempts to get it looking like that!

Yep, we still have a Tour left over from our last visit, so couldn't really justify stocking up too much.  Plus, we realised that the Tours they had there didn't quite do it for us in terms of looks and/or mallet response.  A few really heavy ones, too.

WOW, great selection there Paul.

Have you any of the kudos in a heavy weight (2"12ish)

And what's the price tag on one at that spec?

Sorry forgot model  :-[ player grade.

Post by: ItsJustCricket on January 30, 2014, 08:18:41 PM
Not quite, Alex - the heaviest Kudos we picked is 2lb 10.7oz (Player grade).  There are a couple of other bats in the photo that are heavier, though, and I'd love to ship three Newbery bats to you along with your shoes and bag!  :)
Title: Re: The Bounty from our visit to Newbery yesterday...
Post by: alexarmitage on January 30, 2014, 08:27:26 PM
Am I correct in saying there are no 5* bats in the kudos range?

And yea, I'm real tempted... :o

Even if not to be shipped with the thruxtons, I get paid on the 12 this coming month and always had a soft spot for the kudos  :(

My current pay going for what you currently have, but like I sAid before Paul, future purchases will be made though your company at IJC, just hoping you are not mad at me phoning every two seconds   >:(

But to confirm Paul, what price the kudos? If 5* that two would be tempting if it is available. Really would...?


Alex.
Title: Re: The Bounty from our visit to Newbery yesterday...
Post by: ItsJustCricket on January 30, 2014, 08:39:19 PM
No worries, Alex.  Bats and other kit should be ready to ship to you mid next week, so yes, we may be looking at a separate shipment if you want another bat, but the bat price will be over £150, so you will get free delivery at least!  :)

The Kudos Player is £219.99.  If you added a 2nd grip to the 2lb 10.7oz one, it would become 2lb 12oz... And yes, you are correct about the lack of 5 Star Kudos bats.  Hopefully next year!

We also have a Krakatoa 5 Star bat in there that's 2lb 13.0oz...

Post by: alexarmitage on January 30, 2014, 08:47:11 PM
Great! Looking forward it getting them, how do you find them, e.g. Do they tap up well etc?

And great, £220 is real respectable...I like the "all round" usage of the Thruxton, so how does the KrakToa range compare? and a 5*, what we looking at price wise? Do you have any photos of the Kudos? And that's true with the extra grip for weight!

I'm guessing the weight from 2.12 to 2.13 isn't huge no?

Alex, I will send you an email answering all your questions tomorrow, and by then we should have some photos of the Kudos bats up on this thread too.

Just got my Newbery Mjolnir SPS from IJC today. Great pick-up and balance.

Have been hankering for one of these for ages, especially the new shape.

Thanks Paul, it will be a cracking bat when it's knocked in.

Most likely the photos are up on Photobucket and a public library (or train wife) will have blocked photosharing websites.

Unfortunately this means I never get to see the pics at work :(

We've had a few requests for these Uzis, so thought I'd get them up next! The 5 Star has some butterfly stains, as you can see, but as others have said on here, butterfly stained bats generally perform incredibly well, and this one certainly sounds like it will based on its response off the mallet!

Some 7even bats now... The one on the top & right is very light (2lb 5.0oz), so not all 7even bats are 2lb 7oz, as we've been led to believe...

Now the Krakatoas - the Player bat is freakishly light (2lb 4.1oz)!!  :o It also has 17 grains, which we were quite impressed with for a Player grade... The 5 Star is one for the stronger batsmen amongst us, as it is quite the opposite, weighing 2lb 13.6oz...

For the slight difference in size, I can't believe there is 9oz difference in weight. Please put it aside for me Paul (2lb 4oz bat), I have a mate who has been looking for a bat that weight...is this normal SH? and PM me the price....I can confirm by tomorrow mornign if that is acceptable...

We only picked up one Tour and one Mjolnir on this trip, and both are pictured here.  The Mjolnir is the traditional shape, and very light (2lb 8.0oz), and the Tour is nice and light too (2lb 9.8oz)...

Give us the numbers for the GTs paul!

Price? Weight?

Also Price on the butterfly Uzi?

Those Kudos have very square shoulders and toes, are they Harrow size? 

Can't believe one has 27 grains! Thought that would be players or 5* from Newbery as they're grading policy used to be that SPS would have 8-12 grains.

A lovely selection of bats! The grains on the top/right 7even really jump out the face of the bat!

Both the Kudos SPS bats are 2.9, by the way, but I agree, Amit - that is a very special one!  :)

Is the 7even a lightweight adult sized bat, or slightly smaller (similar to the GM academy sized bats)?

Think its academy sized.

Sam is correct.  it's the size between harrow and SH, which GM call Academy.  It's even listed like that on our website, along with its other widely used name "super short handle": http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-bats-c17/junior-cricket-bats-c19/newbery-7even-seven-player-cricket-bat-p740 (http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-bats-c17/junior-cricket-bats-c19/newbery-7even-seven-player-cricket-bat-p740)

Are the GM Academy and Newbery 7even full width or slightly narrower Paul??

As our unofficial co-ordinator of Junior bats (I hand pick them and do the video reviews) I am personally most pleased with the Harrow selection that we have brought in. As you can see they are absolutely stunning and they all go like trains off the mallet too.

In terms of full size bats, the Kudos is my favourite Newbery shape, it is so well balanced and I just think it looks awesome too with the classy decals etc. But in terms of the performance, I would say you could a hell of a lot worse than the butterfly Uzi 5*. This was one that Neil himself recommended to us and he certainly knows his salt, it is an absolute weapon! I think even I would be able to score some runs with it!

As usual I am working this week on Friday afternoon so if you can, come down and check them out, I'll be happy to have a good old chin wag about cricket and show you round the New Newbery's and Salix's as well as all the other gorgeous willow in the shop!

For the slight difference in size, I can't believe there is 9oz difference in weight. Please put it aside for me Paul (2lb 4oz bat), I have a mate who has been looking for a bat that weight...is this normal SH? and PM me the price....I can confirm by tomorrow mornign if that is acceptable...

Yes, I was just as shocked, Tushar! But yes, it is definitely a SH bat.  I have just emailed you the details.

If tushar does not buy the bat can I have first refusal after him?

Well, if Tushar doesn't go ahead with it, another forum member has also asked about it, John, and I'm sending him the specs later this morning, but it would be first come, first served.  In other words, whoever pays us first, gets it...

OK, no problem! If Tushar does take it, we still have that 2lb 5oz 7even bat and two Kudos Player bats in 2.7 so there's plenty more light bats there!  :)

Cameron, the 7even bats we have are 1-2mm narrower than the SH bats...

As I said, first come first served then.  It has 35mm edges and a 55m spine.

Saw these bats in the flesh yesterday. Absolutely stunning!

Paul was kind enough to let me tap them up too. Wow!

Thanks for visiting us yesterday, Andy - good to see you again! What was your favourite bat in the range?

The Kudos. But I liked Mjolnir too. It's a slightly different shape now, isn't it?

The 2lb 4oz Krakatoa was interesting too!

Indeed, the new Mjolnir is a lot chunkier now, and in my opinion at least, a lot more bottom heavy.  Thankfully Newbery are still making decent numbers of the original shape too, which we will continue to stock as I prefer them and we've found that they still sell very well, too!  :) The one you saw, Andy, has the original shape.

At least you're giving other forum members the opportunity, Ian, so that's very selfless of you!  :)

One of the Kudos SPS bats has now sold, and a Kudos Player too.  Also, the 2.8 7even has gone.  Everything else is still available...

All 5 Kudos Player bats have now sold, and the heavy Krakatoa (5 Star)...
