Title: Newbery Kudos
Post by: ianbuchanan on February 15, 2014, 06:29:46 PM: Decided to get a new bat today after 3 years of using my 3lb 2oz M&H. Gone for a real change, and the first time I've bought a non- M&H bat for 5 years!

Weighs around 2'11 and has a fairly big profile and edges. 11 grains across the face with a large strip of heartwood, it does have a few blemishes but this could be why it's been graded as a 'Player' instead of an 'SPS'

Taps up very nicely!

Price- £220

Encouraging to hear that John! The only thing I'm worried about is the performance but I'm sure it will be ok

Post by: AverageCricketer on July 07, 2014, 02:27:14 PM: Biggest bat I have seen in a store is 3lb 6oz. It didn't look as big as a tree trunk, but it made a 3lb bat look small.
