I know they've been talking about this for a while but they just put a pic of the stickers (back only) on Facebook. I personally think they look horrible, the newbery brand used to be great and look really classy IMO

If the picture doesnt work ive direct linked it from facebook because i was being really lazy
-
I like it. At least you can see them.
-
Has it got a standard length handle or is it just the photo that makes it look longer?
-
I think it looks like some bedroom brand branding
-
Makes me feel ill and I can't seem to focus properly. Nothing wrong with having a classy t20 bat you would of thought.
-
I hate it to in your face for me like the style off the kudos stickers which was class .this just looks cheap
-
I like the grip colour :-[

reminds me a bit of this:-
(http://gear.alloutcricket.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/colossus-3-shots.jpg)
then again nothing is really original these days.
-
So what exactly is it? Is it a Joker? Is it an Uzi? Is it a Kudos - I think all of those are shorter blade / longer handle?
Can anyone shed any light?
-
Prodirect Cricket will be the first one to stock it starting next week. I may get one :-[
-
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - it's sexy!! I love a T20 bat!
-
I like that profile
-
Not quite a fan of the back stickers, but I do like the texturing of the front stickers. Looking at recent Newbery prices, it will probably be pretty pricey considering the Limited Edition sticker. :-[
-
I like it personally, don't think I could justify buying one though having a Toro and a t20 red ink already!! If it's joker dimensions I might be tempted though!!
-
not at all what i expected from newbery.
im sure if i owned one i would absolutely love those stickers those
-
I like the profile, , would like a hit with one. Looks more ck22 ish to me,
Stickers may be a grower? You would have to see em in the flesh
-
I quite like it. Won't be to everyone's taste but it's alright
-
I quite like the stickers - prefer the normal ones. Love the profile however.
-
On the opening post image, they look poor. However, the next set of pictures look much better. The back sticker looks a bit out of proportion compared to the front one.
Interested to know the concept, dread to know the price.
-
Be interesting to know what price it will be sold at. Probably on par with the SPS bats
-
i want one!!!!! Do they sell them at Hove?
-
Pdc may release Monday
-
Front stickers are fine, but I think a black Newbery with green and silver highlights on the back would have looked way classier. The profile is rather generic to me.
-
If a sponsor can get hold.of.this.in 2.13/24 then pm. I want one!
-
Kapil was using one today in the T20 match for Surrey vs Essex. Looked good and went well!
-
I saw some of these at a bat makers workshop earlier this week, huge edges, concaved profile p, massively concaved and looks like a skate board ramp. Personally not my thing,
-
@SOULMAN1012 were the bats full size Chris, or were they shorter length/narrower width?
-
Branding is an interesting one, a little undecided at the mo. Probably pretty steep on the old price I suspect.
Happy to make one for anyone who's interested at a lot less than these probably are. Made a few for mates and for forum members and all seem to have gone down really well.
-

Full size but a horrible profile in my opinion
-
Just had a look at the photos on PDC, it's easy to see the point @SOULMAN1012 was making about the profile! Not for me I'm afraid
-
I have one coming from newbery. Will post pics once its here
-
Northeast used one last night. Looked a beast.
-
As others have said, the front stickers look bang on brilliant. The rear ones look like the work experience kid designed them. Love the profile though
-
If you got one from newbery direct, I wouldn't hurt to ask if they had any sets of tt stickers left, as far as I can see they are a similar green, so you could just put the rear sticker on the blitz

Bought a Blitz last year and then had it hand knocked in at Itsjustcricket, Kennington, London. I have mixed experiences with the bat with current average of around 25 runs. It is perfect for driving but not so good for pulls, hooks and cuts. There is a lot of wood but not enough power in my opinion. On 2 occasions I bottom edged the balls to the stamps given considerable size of the edges on the bat while trying to cut the deliveries. My rating to date would be 5/10 for the bat unfortunately. The body of the bat is harrow size and the handle is slightly longer to make up for the body. I am not 100% sure whether the size has an affect on the unease I feel with the bat.
With the benefit of a B3 I have used once last weekend, I have now handed the Blitz in at VKS at Ealing, London to rebalance the bat. They will reduce circa 3-4oz of the bat. I do not have problem with the weight of a bat but I am not getting along with the chunky model. Once the bat is rebalanced and I have used it few times, I will come back with an additional review.
