Does Newbery have a new batmaker for 2017?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Yes not sure it public knowledge as tho whom yet though

[Churchy1989]

There was another bat maker recently (from unconfirmed but reliable sources) who also produces the red edge bats http://www.cricketbatexpert.com/

But, after another discussion with my source, TK contacted Newbery to get back involved, will be making the SPS bats only.

I cannot officially confirm the above as I have not spoken to either bat maker, but my source gets free Newbery Bats....

Did TK stop being involved?

I do not have that info, only what I posted.

From looking at their website, Red Edge doesn't seem a big enough operation to be responsible for the bulk of the Newbery range?

I seen a couple of newbery bats this year and the ones I have seen both players grade have been Indian made which for a company which is stating there bats are all hand made in the uk is a bit naughty basically the same thing as m and h

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how did you tell they were Indian made?

I've seen the photos of said bats and the handle, twine and overall look to the bats gives it away

[simonmay5]

It was the twine the Handel top etc that gave it away it's exactly the same as my sf triumph and definitely was not uk made let alone tk made

When we have had threads like this in the past people have made statements that were not true and it has caused unnecessary hurt, not least with the reputation of batmakers and this forum.

Unless we have demonstrable proof that we can not pontificate on rumers as if they are fact.

For those reading, I suggest you take a pinch of salt with some if the statements.

Is the handle still the distinctive Newbery shape?

Interestingly (?), Newbery now also have a Triumph.
