Not a fan of his "My way is best" views. Seems very arrogant and his followers on FB seem the same. They have some pretty strong words about the forum.
Makes nice bats but I would never buy one as I simply don't like the man.
I have a similar opinion.

Guess it's horses for courses

I've always found Paul quite a nice bloke and a good giggle and always had great service

A few other makers I've seen praised to the hilt on here I find arrogant and crap and would never use again

Different people I suppose

£700 for a handmade from them

Glad I got the same bats for £200

I'm sure I've been to that garage as well

If i remember correctly previously an Aldred could be order for little less than 400 GBP. How did Newbery come up price tag of 700 GBP????

Baffles me to think that Newbery actually believe 700 quid is an acceptable figure for a cricket bat, especially when their main selling point is the use of an online tool which is clearly just a rip-off of B3

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

GBP 700? Or 699.99? That's just insane!!!!

When all is said and done, for that kind of money (or less), I am heading to GN-AUS as they are making the best performing bats in the world!!!

I thought most bat makers nowadays believed that a bat is either pressed to an optimum level or it isn't, therefore all this hard, medium, soft stuff is rubbish and Newbery basically are gonna send up selling some bats which aren't pressed correctly (or at least not to the level needed for optimum performance)?

Of course I could be talking rubbish but that was my understanding of how the likes of B3, H4L etc. go about pressing, not hard/soft but each bat pressed individually for optimum performance.

^ B3's rock hard pressing should be a category in its own. :D

Basically should read not pressed enough, pressed, pressed too much. I press all clefts differently to get the best performance/ longevity.  You may say some bats are pressed softer or harder than others, but that's only because some need more or less. I may run a bat through 5 times, maybe 6-7 but the aim is to get them all to a very similar level.
