If you can,, pay Paul a visit,,,it's not a million miles from Leeds
It is a joy to watch someone work a willow cleft into a perfectly balanced cricket bat
As I mentioned,,other batmakers actually charge for this?

Some of his butterfly clefts are way above what some premium brands are calling grade ones.

And he's an ex county cricketer who doesn't mind his ear bending too much

I have used both L&W and Newbery. While I liked L&W, I absolutely loved Newbery. To me it's comes down to personal preference. All your choices are top notch, you cannot go wrong with any of those. If I had the choice I would get a bat made to my specs.

And quite frankly the forum sponsors on here will not let you down, no matter who you choose. Good luck mate!!!

Another option is rather than spending £250+ on one bat, get two butterflies for a little more  :)

Since your in yorkshire I'm guessing you might of had a nixon before? Nearly everyone I play with or play against uses them and  loves them might be worth giving nick a ring

Paul is too good at balancing bats mate. My mate, usually uses 2'10 ish but Paul has done such a sensational job that it picks up more like a 2'7.

He found he was through his shots too early. I usually use a 2'8 pick up so its perfect for me.

Check out Clinton's (Bat and Ball Cricket) video review of this bat on YouTube. Btw Great videos mate.
