just my opinion but I think modern day newbery bats,softs,etc are a triumph of advertising over product.
If you were someone who worked in sales you may see this as highly successful.
Retailers just stock them and indeed many club cricketers will buy the bats at pushing �350.00

What does everyone think of the Kudos softs? A little surprised nobody has commented on those yet...

I personally like the color scheme on the softs...only if I could afford a kudos bat to go with them.

Nice looking stuff - just worried that the leather will have been cut in a "better" way and that they'll be �40 more expensive as a result!

Seriously, none of this is a dig at you mate, just think Newbery are trying to pull the wool over people's eyes a bit with these prices and claims!

I think they're just being greedy on the grounds of "everyone's heard of Newbery, they'll pay it because of reputation" and they'll probably get away with it too!

Like I said, it's not just the fact that they are new. The Kudos2 are supposed to be pro quality bats that are pressed differently to the rest of the range. We have been told in no uncertain terms that they are simply superior when it comes to performance. This intrigues me and I don't feel Newbery are the type to pull the wool over our eyes. I may be proven wrong, but we are at least willing to give them a try and see if we agree with them...

Does that mean Kudos2 has a different pressing technique than what was used for Kudos ?

Apparently... sounds like a lot of pish to me personally!

Correct

There are no Kudos2 softs, and the Kudos softs actually sit lower than the SPS softs in their range, so it's priced very nicely actually! Our prices will be:

Kudos gloves: �59.99
Kudos pads: �79.99

Why does it sound like a lot of pish to you? What would be the point of lying about something like this?

To justify taking an extra �100 off those gullible enough to beleive it...

To be honest, I'm a bit concerned that people can genuinely believe that one of the most respected cricket brands in the UK would be telling outright lies to their 10th largest account in the country purely in an effort to sell more bats.

Sadly, this.

Again not criticising you at all Paul, the brand sells well so it makes perfect sense for you to stock their bats - it just bemuses me when brands keep getting away with price hikes by adding a few extra letters to the name or some gimmick like this - if they can suddenly offer a bat that 'performs above all the rest' then what was the 'original' Kudos last year, fairly sure that bat was marketed as another bat that 'performs above all the rest'?

Do the Kudos gloves have Pittard palms Paul? If so, is it the grey diamond variety or the white pitted type?

So you honestly believe that any big company wouldn't bend the truth, however slightly, in order to sell more of their products to their own market?? (Talking about business in general, not just cricket)

And no one has mentioned Newbery outright lying, all I have suggested is that if this new bat outperforms all their other bats due to the type of pressing used then why didn't they use that method of pressing for all their other bats in the first place - a simple question which I'm sure has a simple answer!

Pretty sure they do, but can't remember the type. I will get back to you about this soon...
