As the season has finally drawn to a close - i thought i'd take some time and put a review of this Thruxton SPS i got from uzi sports a few months ago.
The service, as usual, from Asad was fantastic. Sent plenty of pics, threw in some grips, scruff sheets, shipped immediately etc. Was a pleasure dealing with.
Details:
Weight - 2.85
Grains - Enough for me
Pickup - Feels very balanced. I prefer this profile/pick up more then a GT or Krakatoa.
Performance - Every one always rants and raves about the middle & the quality of Newbery, so not much has to be said. I just love the fact that mere pushes are getting me alot more runs then they used to.
Enjoy the pics.

Looks great mate. I am glad you are liking it. Hopefully you will score tons of runs with it next year.
Profile seems to be alot better than Krakatoa
-
Is there much concaving to it? Or is it similar to the Uzi shape?
-
Another very happy customer from Asad. He realy is a top guy. I just got some new kit from him but will review and take pics of it all when Ive ordered teh rest of it within the next couple of months.
-
I am in the process of ordering from Asad and this guy seems to be top notch. He replys to emails so quickly.
-
Jonnyw, care to enlighten us on what your ordering? I may be able to suggest a few bats...
But yes he is a great guy and is very knowledgable!

Im not ordering a bat at the moment. I am just getting new gloves and grips etc

Nope!

take that back!
i've got a Krakatoa coming soon...
it was a choice between a Krakatoa and a Thruxton,
looks like i made the wrong choice! :(
Looks very meaty for a 2.8-9

So what's happening with this?

LOL I'll take them back if you wish.
When I was buying Krakatoa the choice was between Thruxton and Krakatoa as well but I went for Krakatoa. I wouldn't say it's a really bad choice and I am regretting. In fact, I am happy with it :). I prefer light pickup bat which Thruxton seems to be whereas Krakatoa is slightly bottom heavy. Apart from that I love Krakatoa.
I am sure you won't be disappointed with your choice. Don't worry man you'll like it for sure!
By the way, is it SPS (from Mike)?

dont think you can assume you've made the wrong choice. i tried all three this season, the thruxton just suited me best. my brother uses the krakatoa - he loves it & it plays really well. i've reviewed that bat in the UziSports forum as well.

like the look of that thruxton ca. how big are the edges?
