That's a nice bat and would look better with a black grip.

How's the pick up? looks a bit bottom heavy.

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.

Not into looks as much lol

Pickup is MUCH better after 2nd grip. Played with it over the weekend, it's a keeper :)

Looks a nice stick, any photos of the face and grains?

I just use the one grip on my 7even and find the handle a bit on the skinny side. 

Newbery should just use a normal width handle on these!

You are absolutely right, handle is on skinny side...2nd grip really helps if you have big hands and the pick up.

It's hard to see, but there are 7 fairly straight grains and no heart wood in playing zone

Nice Bat. If you want to thicken the handle without adding as much weight as a grip and messing up the balance add another layer of twine and then cover it in  a light layer of diluted pva. Let it dry and it should be half the weight of a grip.
