Out standing Mr Hosk and thanks for that it looks nearly identical in shape to the old orange puma balistic i had stolen last year. Bit of history there eh i suppose Mr Millichamp made that bat eh?

I do have half a dozen or more of the traditional profiles, such as a purist, a couple of Charlie French bats and a couple of others, but these will be listed in good time.
Just shows that there's no pleasing everyone! I am tempted to try a more trad profile in the nets as I've never really used one. But more to follow.

That shape is a John Newbery, passed down to Tim and Julian who have passed it on themselves, classic in the truest sense.

Some would say old fashioned but I prefer classic!!

Talking about an old classic, an older Newbery will be on here in 10 minutes!

I really like traditional profiles... i would say the harlequin profile from 5 years ago is my favourite... balance was perfect.

Do you reckon that bats may move to a more traditional profile in the future?

classic it maybe but not that popular anymore....

not a chance classic shapes are a thing of the past.

Trends come and go, big bats, light bats etc, it all goes round in a great big cycle.

Yer im sure it will change again, unless toms mongoose revolution kicks off soon... i still havent seen one used in match... must be the area.

My harlequin was 2.8 and stick thin yet went as good as anything ive ever used..

BAT 11 - Newbery Superblade

And another golden oldie.
Weighs in at a spritely 2'6 and a bit.
Edges......nothing to write home about!
Not sure how it would play or if there would be a whole lot of power in the bat, but even the weakest of batsman could bat all day with it!

Pics to follow..........
