Title: Newbery N showing cracks beneath the handle thread.
Post by: Akshay BP on August 08, 2021, 06:06:03 PM
My month old Newbery N series bat is showing cracks in the handle from where the thread came loose. When trying to rethread the handle I noticed these cracks and now I'm concerned if these were always present and hidden beneath the thread binding or is the handle started cracking from its minimal use. Can someone also tell if this is covered under warranty even if purchased in Germany.

That should be covered by warranty.

This is typically fatal. I would contact the retailer and/or Newbery ASAP.

Thanks for the advice. I will try to contact them and get this sorted.

That's what I thought too. The quality of binding and handle is really poor on these bats. I'll try to post any reply I receive from either the retailer or Newbery.

Any chance of a bat review for Newbery N Series?
Did you get the pads and gloves too?

I would assume it wouldn’t be a glowing review!
