Didn't Paul do a video on pressing, how he presses each bat to his requirements etc?

It's a good way of getting out of replacing a bat if someone opts for the 'soft like the pros' myth.

the senior bats have been streamed into two ranges, the Heritage and the Performance.

"�All Heritage bats are handmade here in England, by our trusted bat makers who are safeguarding the Legacy John Newbery created".

"�All Performance bats are hand finished in England".

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.

Doesn't make sense to me. A soft press bat with 3 months warranty. If at all, these bats are prone to break in the first months, if this bat survives 3 months, one would presume it would last...

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.

That was a much better explanation than mine but that's basically what I was trying to get at John.

Ah , the Bat Builder is in fact �699.99. Oddly, tucked away on the far right of the web site.

Imagine if you spend your time choosing your perfect weight/profile/shape and you still end up with a thick handled 2.13 Bat...

On Bat Builder:

'We are big believers in the feel and balance of a bat is more important than what it says on the scales. However, everyone knows what weight they like. We can offer all the weight ranges but be aware the weights available are dependent on the bat length and the shape you choose.
If you are unsure of what weight you are the generic weight players choose is the 2.9 mark. All our top end bats are made by hand and eye alone, this means that the balance and feel will be the best. No matter what it says on the scales your bat will feel lighter.'

messaged Newbery about their phatom bat and they were honest to tell that heritage bats are made in uk and performance bats are made in india and hand finished in UK. So appreciate the honesty there .

Does that even count as a profile? Stickers Also grim, get them off!!!

Nice grains though.

Interesting that the bat builder page has a little video with Paul Aldred talking about the options and batmaking for every step... except the step where they let you choose whether to have your bat pressed properly or not, and just reuse an unrelated earlier video. I wonder what happened when they asked him to do a video explaining how 'a soft press means the bat is game ready'!

Good point . I guess both parties realised just how contradictory / hypocritical it would have been , seeing Paul's previous comments onthe subject.

Where are these videos available, please? I can't find them
