just got a newbery thruxton 5* from my local cricket shop 9 grains ,2 heartwood 2,10 1/2 with 33 mm edges i think its good for £145 wot do you guys think?
yer the willow isnt great but you cant really expect a perfect bit of wood for 145 quid it feels good knocking it up with an old ball so i hope it goes well
It look pretty decent stick mate. I hope it goes well for you and I also hope you score tons of runs with it. As everyone said nice carpet mate :)
Whether people say williow is not great I would say its Newbery it will last you. One of club mate had UZI and his bat served him for 2.5 years whereas he used it in all the practice and games. He never took care of his bat either so 2.5 years is not bad at all
Guys what do you think if I get UZI for £100-£110. It is slightly used and is 2/3 year old model so should I go for it or no?
How did you knock it? I recently bought krakatoa bat. I want to knock it and I am not sure how much it needs to be knocked given it is preknocked. Can you share your experience? Thanks.
hi mate i just gave it about 3 hours with the ball on the stick ,then had a few nets against the spinners just make sure you dont try and over hit the ball at 1st unfortunately i tried 2 smash a full toss and toed it and it cracked :( do you have any pictures of your bat mate?
I have used the bat for the past few games. I would say you this. This is the lightest bat I played. I am more confident and striking the ball well. Though the bat is light it has a good ping. When the ball hit the sweet spot it simply running away. I think I am going to hold on to this. Thought my feed back helps others.
