After all the great reviews of the service and stock Asad offers, I couldn't resist a trip to Swindon yesterday. I can only echo everyone else's comments on the warmth of the welcome offered and the quality of willow available, after sorting through what seemed like half the bats there I managed to actually make a decision and came away with a pretty special Thruxton SPS that was tucked away waiting for me ;)
I could easily have picked another 4 or 5, the process of actually choosing 1 bat was not easy given how many beautiful sticks that ping like trampolines Asad has :)
In the end, I couldn't resist the pick up and balance of this baby :)

Nice bat that if it's the same one I taped up last Saturday you have a serious bat on your hands like most off Uzi sports bats
-
That looks lovely, what are the specs?
-
lovely stick that mate, cant wait to get my warbird tommorrow
-
Another Newbury stunner from Asad !
-
Weighs 2-11, edges are 32-33mm and the spine is about 61mm so maybe not the biggest but the response off the mallet was amazing, like Simon says, Asad has some serious bats
-
Lovely looking stick. I prefer the traditional newbery branding to the new stuff they have done recently
-
Yeah, there was also a lovely GT with the Cadbury stickers that was very tempting!

I know exactly the bat you are referring to, that was the first one to catch my eye when we went in

Thanks for your visit @treefeller . it was great to meet you. I am glad you are happy with your purchase. All the Newbery bats ( seniors/Juniors) are of very high quality as we have spent hours hand picking them and few of them were especially made for us.

That's a very nice bat. I have seen some belters from newbery - one bat was 2-7 , may be 30 mm edge but the bat pinged like a trampoline. Great buy

I have to echo what you are saying here. I picked a GN F18 on Sunday and the whole process of buying a bat is so much simpler at the shop. I was super focused on what I wanted but I could've chosen at least another 3 bars and would've been absolutely happy with them.
I spent about 15 minutes looking at the Uzi bats and compared to the +£500 bats from others, these were head and shoulders better on performance and looks. Perhaps if I was younger and played a more serious level I would've been tempted to get one.
