You've done well as this was bought last year and they have scaled back the profile since then as with the Krakatoa since it is too hard to make in most clefts at a light weight.

That looks like whatever it hits stays hit. Quality stick you've bought there Harry!

Tumo.....in the process of knocking it in and early impressions are that it's an absolute rocket....even the edges seem to have an amazing ping.

That would be invaluable information for me, I can't seem to hit anywhere else on the bat!

They are more than decent Tom but not to everyone's liking, but I've found them to be very good indeed.

Will be interested how you get on with it Tom as like others have said I have heard conflicting reports about them. What is the profile like for the weight or compared to your other Newbery's?

Will take a few pics later on as got my kit in the boot but the C6 is back at the flat at the moment!

Thought it would be an intersting comparism to make as they are both mjolnirs and apparently both use the best possible willow to make the bats in the case of the C6 and the SPS model with the cane handle.

Got nets on wednesday at the county ground so will see how they go and reveiw from there. Sound with the mallet is def different with the carbon handle though but would expect that due to the material and the fact it's hollow. Was interested as we obviously work with carbon fibre/kevlar with the helmets so the combination of traditional wood and modern carbon is something that brings a few ideas to mind in terms of innovation...but would need to brush up on my MCC laws etc I guess to see whats legally allowed within the laws.

PS sorry for taking this off topic :(
