Thruxton SPS - Review
« on: October 04, 2010, 04:01:51 AM »
As the season has finally drawn to a close - i thought i'd take some time and put a review of this Thruxton SPS i got from uzi sports a few months ago.

The service, as usual, from Asad was fantastic. Sent plenty of pics, threw in some grips, scruff sheets, shipped immediately etc. Was a pleasure dealing with.

Details:
Weight - 2.85
Grains - Enough for me
Pickup - Feels very balanced. I prefer this profile/pick up more then a GT or Krakatoa.
Performance - Every one always rants and raves about the middle & the quality of Newbery, so not much has to be said. I just love the fact that mere pushes are getting me alot more runs then they used to.

Enjoy the pics.

Looks great mate. I am glad you are liking it. Hopefully you will score tons of runs with it next year.

Profile seems to be alot better than Krakatoa

LOL I'll take them back if you wish.

When I was buying Krakatoa the choice was between Thruxton and Krakatoa as well but I went for Krakatoa. I wouldn't say it's a really bad choice and I am regretting. In fact, I am happy with it :). I prefer light pickup bat which Thruxton seems to be whereas Krakatoa is slightly bottom heavy. Apart from that I love Krakatoa.

I am sure you won't be disappointed with your choice. Don't worry man you'll like it for sure!

By the way, is it SPS (from Mike)?
