How will this affect brands that they supply as surely they will want to keep the better clefts for their keeley branded bats ??
Could say the same for all the other brands that white label too I guess, just off the top of my head you're looking at B3, Jedi, Hunts, Kippax & H4L amongst others.
If they were to keep all the decent clefts for themselves then it'd only be a matter of time before the sub-companies went elsewhere - it'll be in their interest to carry on as normal unless they start selling hundreds of 'Keeley' bats I guess! (Wouldn't be surprised if Newbery would've been seeing the majority of the top clefts anyway).
