Next Visit to Newbery...
« on: April 08, 2014, 06:18:08 PM »
Chris and I will be visiting Newbery again tomorrow - it really has become our home away from home!  :)

I am going to try to take a few more photos this time and will add them to the thread when we get back.

In the meantime, if anyone is interested in a new Newbery bat for the start of the season, please give us a shout! We'll be able to pick something out exactly to your specs...

Cheers,
Paul

No bats but if they have any Cadbury pads and gloves they didn't sell hiding around I'll happily help them find a home

A few random photos from our visit yesterday...

As you can see, we hand-picked grips as well as bats!  :) They also had some fairly old school bats lying around, and they tapped up superbly, incidentally!  :)

I will put up some more photos later. 

The bats should be with us by Friday/Monday...

The square toed Kudos is a junior bat, Tushar - the junior ones have squarer toes.

Those are bats put aside for the pros - we couldn't take any, unfortunately! I think people refer to it as the "Pro bin"...

you could always grab a few stickers to put over the top hiding the handwritten 'pro'.....you might sneak one through that way!

just a thought ;-)

I've had a few Mjolnir's out of the pro bin, and a GT. Really great bats.

Wouldn't have said they are worlds apart from the majority of offerings Newbery provide though! :)

I think they would be at least the same as a Kudos SPS, if not a little more.  I am sure someone else on here will know better!

Individuals can indeed buy them although they're about £400....
They're pro players cast offs after a batch has been made for them, slightly wrong weight/ping etc.

I look forward to seeing the choices of what bat to get from you Paul. Hopefully they are all great sticks.
