Newbery bats seemed to be well respected (and good too I think - my Mjolnir was great, but I had little to compare to) in the late 90s/early 2000s around my way.

So it will be a Keeley you are looking for?

The stickers changing the cost is absolutely ridiculous. Bizarre that this is the same company that launched the careers of so many excellent batmakers...

For all intents and purposes it is not the same Company. Different location, different batmaker, different owners.

For those of us that grew up with them and visited the shop inside the Hove ground it’s best to remember the innovation and quality and quietly weep to ourselves  :)

As a youngster, walking out to bat with a Mjolnir I actually thought it does not get any better than this!

It's a real shame, there's a few older Newbery bats kicking about with the older members at my club and they really are lovely. The name still carries a lot of weight so it's a bit sad to see it being traded on like that.

Their Legacy and new Velo range look to be TK made?

So your looking at the shoulders and how theyre finished to help the grip sit nicely?

Thats not how TK does it, look also at the fitted toe guard, this definately isnt TK's work
