Nice to see Tim Keeley winning one of these with a Newbery bat for a change.

Yep guest appearance at 4 and 12 too
I wonder what will happen when he retires, if the expertise is being passed down to a few othets there

Anyone know which shape the B3 shape 27 is? Their showroom list stops at 25 with the ST shape.

27 is the DW shape

Got any pics/specs of the bat in question Dave?

Perhaps wrong to say this - but have had my fair share of Friday ales so can't keep a lid on it!
 
To see the snake oil merchants from Taunton low down on 14 brings me this nice fuzzy feeling of shadenfreuden!

well there is absolutely nothing wrong with bats made in India or Pakistan, and they quite a few of them are popular on the forum I know, but 4 out of 5 on the list are manufactured in the UK and I think that's brilliant.
I firmly believe we have the best batmakers in the world in Britain.

Might even be 5 out of 5 depending on where woodworm are made these days!

Seen quite a few Asian bats break due to willow dryness agree  though along with James Laver best batmakers are in the UK.

When I see these gear test ranking it always reminds me of the  bat maker who sent 2 bats both the same spec and grade  willow but had different stickers 1 bat was  rated highly and the other wasn't strange that.

well  Hunts used to make them but I didn't say 5 out of 5 because I wasn't sure.....

As the bats are all blank for the test this is theoretically avoided now

Hunts used to, but SSomeone else started doing them when they changed from the torch to the hard drive I think
