Made from the very best Grade 1+ English Willow. “Improved design for 2016”. Newbery's top of the range bat. By taking weight out of the shoulder, Newbery's bat makers are able to put more into the middle. This gives the bat a light pick-up to high power ratio. New for 2016, Newbery have given it a longer spine, which has extended the middle. Perfect for English lower, slower pitches. Uniquely pressed to give it more velocity – noticeably more “ping” when you hit the ball.
