Lacost are much cheaper but like Kevin Clein from the market 👍

That was a fun hour spent reading 14 pages of nonesense.

So, who's the new bat maker again? Kevin Clein?

Mr lucky lucky

This guy? I thought he was in the hats and/or glasses business?

I also heard a rumour he has his hats and/or glasses made elsewhere then claims they are hand made by himself.

I believe the gentleman in the background is questioning the provenance of his claims. And probably his choice of attire whilst he's at it.

all in all around 110 some maybe more some less.

it not exact but it not a million miles away..

How much does a Masuri stemguard cost to make.
How much does a Ferrari cost to make.
How much does a Lacost jumper.

Funny @Seniorplayer I know you roughly know what a cleft and handle and stickers cost..

Your now telling me you don't understand the figures.

I understand the crown and other top per cent of clefts charging a premium it a simply supply and demand.

The rest is inline I mean how much is a regular grade 1 from hawk is similar to Chase which is similar inline with many..

Is the whole industry too expensive ?

110 is the figure quoted by a unnamed source I was talking to this week not taking into account the brackages.

but if you figure most buy 2 and 3 the mark up isn't that much in reality.

the 550 I guess is the crown goes on exclusivity if your into that thing.

No Dave I wasn't saying I don't understand the figures as you know I do I was just making light of it
As for charging the prices they to do to earn a living post and pay there mortgage and overheads like most people that comes out of my wage so if there's no sponsorship etc where after the �110.00 costs does the profit go now i could make a guess

Doesn't answer the question of who the master batmaker is but it does show that only the players + grade upwards are made in U.K. http://newbery.co.uk/collections/specialist-options?mc_cid=097fe6b3a7&mc_eid=d604537188 .I guess this is the official announcement people are looking for (in so many words).Interesting to see that they take 10-14 days for one to be delivered ,does this mean Aldred makes their bats

Glad to see Newbery doing this, they could of got round the made in UK bit like some others do.

For many it won't matter where the bats are made but for some it will.

Bit of credit due to them IMO....

The days of some of the brands we grew up with being the same as they were has gone, things move on, business moves on.

There is still plenty of choice out there should you want a bat made here, and same for a bat made abroad or part made abroad.

Well done Newbery.The Mjolnir and the Uzi still two of the best bats made by any company.

Players + and SPS + are new grades. So their traditional 5* Players/ SPS shop grades are all made in India?

Looks very much that way .The way I see it is that they' re not new grades in terms of willow quality essentially the + just stands for made in England
