Our bats are made in the workshops here at the farm,we have out side and insde nets and plently cricket balls, We also press by hand i,e no electrical motor ,each blade gets different amount of pressing.

And the good news is that we have reduced our prices on ALL models including the Fusion Skyer,that is now �79-95.

Any question give me shout and will try to help, We are also considering giving private lessons again ,mostly batting ,fielding and w/k

Bill I know it was a leading question

Nope I dont and at the moment I still get handled and pressed unfinished bats as well.. I have clefts for pressing so that I can test press a-la Technolgy thread but as they say slowly, slowly catchy monkey....

Any pics of the press Andy? Is it a homemade jobby?

Hint, one of the best coaches in the world is heading to England next week for a few weeks of cricket watching and interview gathering.

Would be someone to meet.

Drawn up by me made by someone else... It is a bit different then the norm but can be used as a standard press... That answer is suitably cagey from me!!!!

choice willow? millichamp? salix? warsop probably get there clefts machined up by newbery ,then they handle and press the blades. newbery do something for most companys in the uk......

Excuse my ignorance, but are Newbery bats not handmade in the UK?

As always depends on your definition, they bought a machine from Slazenger to do their bats and hand-sand/finish them.

It actually does very little for their bats, just the donkey work. Shaping it very unimportant in the grand scheme of things, probably the lowest priority in making. The pressing at Newbery is the best in the world, as told to me by someone making 34,000 English willow bats himself. No bat maker other than hobby brands work without one. Surprising to know who pays to have theirs made with one.
