Shame as I got bored on his facebook page group and left myself.

I'm not agreeable with his self righteous opinions. Each to their own. If you want bats off him then good luck, I couldn't bring myself to buy one.

Same here.
He may be a great guy and his bats must be out of this but my experience hasnt been a great one. May it was a one off incident but I would think twice before doing any direct dealing with him.

Got a butterfly and must say it is what he said it is. But my (R)obinson (S)ports G1 is cheaper by almost 150 GBP, does ping and look better than the butterfly. So it's unfair to be pointing out Asian batmakers & their bats as substandard.

Almost all my bats are Indian made and none of them is bad price wise and performance. I broke handle on one due to ball directly hitting handle.
Most of brands world wide use third party for handles anyway I think.

I bought 3 bats off him over a period of a year. The first one was a pre made and was nice. The last two had issues with not being what i ordered and was basically told by him that, "nothing wrong with it, get used to it..."

Paul's relationship with Newbery smacks of hypocrisy a little bit. And I don't think I like the way he generalises when talking about Asian bats.

Alot of his theories on bats contradict each other aswell

It's a shame he is a difficult person to deal with as all the Aldred bats I've seen have been very nice indeed

So far as the handle in Asian bats goes, I think there is a little bit of an overkill when some people try to put them in bad light.

Recently I saw an L&W ULTRA on eBay with its handle totally broken and separated - it looked like a headless or perhaps neckless Chicken.
Not saying that anything wrong with L&W but I’ve hardly ever seen this happening to an Asian bat.

That was the point where I stopped watching his videos. For a bloke that spent years slating 'sticker' companies and banging on about morales I found it pretty funny when he suddenly jumped at the chance to work for Newbery - everyone has their price...

Bats are prices of wood that will inevitend up in pieces at some point if used extensively.

I’ve seen bats from various brands with snapped handles, it’s made of wood and each piece of different so natural variation will occur from time to time.

Nevertheless, I do think you a consumer has the right to know how and where a product was made.
