I have been told by tim that clefts are graded initially for SPS and players and once the bat is made, Tim checks and then grade it as sps or player. how can you check performance by just hitting the bat with mallet for few mins.
My experience is that willow quality is better for SPS bat.

Asad bhai, I agree with both ur points on grading a bat witha few hits with them mallet (but I would assume that Tim and Nick are very experienced at it) and that the quality of the SPS is better.

But my point is that, would a bat with willow imperfections but with SPS level performance be grade as a SPS. I think not as no retailer will want a ugly looking SPS and ask customers to pay �250 or more for it.....so some good performing bats do get down graded due to other factors and this is true for all brands and not just Newbery.

Thanks guys. I guess it also depends on budget

Yes, everything depends on the budget mate....go for a smaller brand if you want the tp grade bat but with do not want to shell out �200 or more

Who would you suggest?

Maybe a Lekka I know it's not a tt, but I reckon its pressed in a similar fashion

Romida had a stack of TT bats when I popped in after xmas. As a bat, it didn't seem to me to have the wow factor for �250-300. Thick edges but not as thick as some bats, didn't seem to have a big middle and while the face looked nice - so do alot of other bats. I think the 2 I picked up had 8-10 straightish grains but the face was nice not stunning. Had a quick play but the evil wife ruined my fun and dragged me out.All in all didn't seem worth the money but then again I didn't have a chance to have a knock up with it!

Firstly I would like to know why are you looking to buy a bat with a shorter blade? What weight? Do you want performance or edges

jonprice · « **Reply #23 on:** January 13, 2011, 06:27:26 AM »

Not necessarily after short blade. I'm looking for a bat with a good pick up that will suit my game. I'm a dynamic opener with quick bat speed.

What does 'dynamic opener' mean?

jonprice · « **Reply #25 on:** January 13, 2011, 07:20:42 AM »

Think of Chris Gayle, Gilchrist etc. Basically, I score quickly. Shared a 150 opening stand last year & I scored 114 of them in 16 overs.

That is quite dynamic

You didn't need to tell us that!

I've had a Joker & it was very eye catching with its big edges. Didn't feel different to a normal bat really, and went very well.

Wish I hadn't sold it now, but I needed the money
