Newbery Uzi SPS

Originally designed specifically for use in Twenty20, the longer handle and shorter blade increases bat speed allowing for bigger hits. The bat was so popular that it is now used in all types of cricket. The profile is much thicker than the Mjolnir however there is still less concaving than many of the other bats available. I used a 2lb 8oz with 12 straight grains which testified to that it was grade 1 English willow. It felt good in the hands and when I started playing with it I quickly really how powerful and huge the middle was! My only worry with it is that Newbery may have compromised the durability in order to increase performance relative to their other models. One of the opposition players had gone through five in just one season and they are expensive bats.
