How many did you see being used last year?
And how many of those were recent models?

I don't take the cricketing circles I mix in as being very typical of anything. But I'll give you that I didn't see many. Certainly not as many as Sports Direct Slazengers.

I've seen a steady decline in the number of Newbery bats over the last few seasons.
I don't know if that's down to the increase in price or because people don't like the new stickers, but there definitely aren't as many around as they're used to be

In the cricketing 'circles' I frequent i see... One.

A 20 year old Mjolnir (no IJC pronunciations pleeeease) I got for a team mate which is patched,filled and fibreglass taped to hell
But still goes fantastic.

I won't say old bats are made better than new ones because that could start a war and its Christmas.

I picked up a TK made blank last season but I'm not classing that as a Newbery.  :)

Might be used regularly in the Sussex leagues thou.

I no longer use one.  ;)

But most of the big retailers still seem to stock them? Not long ago someone said TK was involved again?

Paul at IJC told me that his pronounciation was the one used by Newbery.

I think Newbery is a different company in Australia.

Yes it is... I was referring to the few UK ones that would have made there way here... Also why I wouldn’t have considered them a high profile brand

I can't remember how I was told it was pronounced. But I remember it was Paul that told me, and it was not as I expected.

It's not a word that I regularly use in conversation.

Can’t remember my phonetic symbols, but as it’s a Norse/Norwegian word it would be spelt Mjølnir(or Mjølnar) and pronounced something like mmm-yol-neer.

From my Norse myth (which I lost part of my youth) above is how I know it to be pronounced
