I have 3 Kudos profile bats on the way with one being a laminate. Looking forward to seeing them.
one of our Pro/LE bat profile is Kudos and we had this shape available since last year as my own son plays with a very similar profile

I had the pleasure of picking a kudos up today and  it was ok. These bats are obviously pressed very well , but I wasn't overly impressed by the pickup .  If I was in the market for a T20 style/lowered shoulder bat I think there are nicer profiled bats out there. They certainly tick the big edge box and also the nice stickers box so I am sure they will sell very well.

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

I do find Newbery bats very boring, I've never been interested in owning a newbery - the colours are nice and different. Refreshing however mainly because I find the brand boring I'm not interested.
You might find them boring but they absolutely go like a shot gun owned at least 30 of them and next to Salix are the best bats going around.

Would say out of their 2013 lineup of bats the Torque has the highest middle, although probably a mid to high sweetspot. What the 2014 lineup may hold who knows yet?

Interested to know is this based on looks or having a play around?

I've got a GT, and I thought the middle would be slightly too high at first but the pick up just felt amazing (had a harry potter 1st wand moment when I selected the bat)

Having since used it the middle on these bats is massive, i've no idea how Newbery have done it, but the GT is a blinder. When they announce the retiring of that model think i'll max a credit card on GT's to last me until my cricket ending days.

To be honest l am basing my views on the middle position on looks, only because I don't know anyone who owns one so I can have a play around in the nets. I'm sure the pick up is feather-light (ha, did the bat choose you?) The only Newberys I've had are the Zeus (absolute beast) and the classic Mjolnir, my old faithful (she's on her way out). I like my willow with a middle on the lower side and a couple of grips to get the balance right (Not that balance is a problem with my 2lbs 10 Mjolnir). Thanks for the GT knowledge though MD, if I get the chance to play with one, I may have to have a re-think.
