I brought Newbery SPS Thruxton in 2010 season. Normal bat(2'9) - no huge edges bull - 2011 it opened up to be a beast.
To the point - I own two of those now(One 2'9 and one 2'10).
SPS - Screams quality. :)

Jagminder - there is a very important point that everyone should take from your post!
The fact that the bat opened up once it had been played in completely!
People seem to expect bats to play well from the off, and get frustrated or bored too early! And sometimes sell the bat on and the new owner keeps playing with the bat which then (usually if it's a quality bat) gets better and better! I have purchased one or two bats myself that the seller didn't give enough time to and then a couple of months down the line starts to respond like a trampoline!!  8)

Agreed Pete. Willow is a natural product - User just have to find perfect amount of "playing in" time to bring the best out of it.
And for every bat it will be different - Few peak sooner than others depending on the pressing.
If its a quality stick - it will open up to be good. 
Patience is the key. :)

It doesn't help when lads get a new bat and will not net with it... what?!

Get it knocked in, get it played in and then its ready for the season and some runs...   ;)

I bought a Thruxton SPS a couple of months ago. Only 30mm edges a spine that must be only 35mm but it is unbelievable. So much power. It jarred on mishits and felt quite hard initially but it has had about a dozen net sessions now and that jarring sensation is not as noticeable. It is one of the best bats I own.

I guess the point is that as the SPS are specially selected Players models, they shouldn't be a bad one- but that doesn't account for willow issues etc.
Anyway, I'm picking it up tomorrow !!! :)

Not exactly.

I'll give it a review when I actually get it. Not Warwick sports fault, mind, they have been excellent.
