Newbery Visit on October 9th - time for more pre-orders! :-)
« on: September 23, 2014, 02:26:39 PM »
Much like last year, Newbery are the quickest off the mark with their new range, and I'm very pleased to say that we will be visiting them on October 9th to pick out some of their new bats, including the Kudos2 and Panache.

I will update this thread later with prices and photos (from the trade show), to give you all a better idea of what's on offer, but it's the usual drill: an £80 deposit gets you a quality bat that will be hand-picked exactly to your specs, and the balance payment won't be required until after October 9th, so it's cash-flow friendly too!  :)

You can pay your deposit here: http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-bats-c17/senior-cricket-bats-c18/deposit-for-new-2015-cricket-bat-of-your-choice-hand-picked-p779

Please send us your specs via email/PM, or in the customer notes section of the online order form.

Who wants to be one of the first to own a new Newbery bat?  :)

Here are samples (of the new bats) that we saw at the trade show.  Both bats will be available in weights of 2.7 and above:

Hi Paul, what's different about the Kudos 2 compared to the Kudos from the season just past? Is it a standard blade now? If I'm honest, that's what stopped me from purchasing last year! Also, is the Panache standard SH, or is it a shorter blade?

The Kudos2 has a squarer toe, but is otherwise very similar to the Kudos (same length blade and handle, same sweet spot position, slight concaving etc.).  Newbery claim that the Kudos2 is pressed differently, but I cannot (right now) say anything more beyond the fact that they believe the Kudos2 is the best performing bat in the range, largely as a result of this pressing, and have certainly priced them accordingly (they are quite a bit more expensive than the Kudos) as you will all see shortly...

Panache is a standard sized blade and handle.  Reminds me a bit like the Thruxton, just a bit bigger (and slightly higher sweet spot too)...

I hope it's not a case of Newbury trying to get greedy after the success of the Kudos last year, can imagine that would backfire (it's not like the Kudos was cheap after all!!)

Looks like a GT. But, pictures can add inches to the location of a sweet spot.  :D

That Panache profile and toe up shots look just like my Thuxton! Will be a very good bat.

For me, it didn't seem quite as high as the Amplus, but I don't have any exact measurements to back up this claim, but Newbery are billing it as the high middled bat in the range (now that the GT has gone!)

In fairness, there's not that much difference in the SPS grade pricing, but a £60 difference in the respective Player grades...

Anyway, I will put up the prices in a few minutes and then you guys can be the judge!
