HISTORY

PROCESS

At Newbery we can trace our bat-making heritage back to the early 1900s when the Newbery family first made cricket bats in Robertsbridge, East Sussex. John Newbery’s father, Len, was a bat-maker and partner of Nicolls Bats (later to merge with Grays of Cambridge and become Gray-Nicolls) who had made bats since the time of W G Grace.

Len’s skills were handed down to his only son John, who founded John Newbery Ltd, in 1981. John’s legendary reputation as a master bat-maker quickly spread throughout the world, as did his innovative designs.

Newbery cricket bats begin life as carefully selected willow trees - the selection process begins with the willow strikes, prior even to the planting of the tree. Every year, Newbery plant, maintain and fell an increasing number of willow trees sited on farms across the south of England. In addition, we buy seasoned timber from a number of sources, all of whom have serviced bat makers for decades. Each cleft is individually assessed and, if accepted, will have been judged favourably for its weight, grain and performance.

One of the most important aspects of bat-making, and one which sets Newbery apart from many manufacturers, is the pressing of the willow. This is one of the most skilful processes in bat-making as

This all took place against a background of failing health, which led to his early death in 1989.

His senior craftsman Tim Keeley is today the Master Bat-maker of Newbery, using the same skills to produce cricket bats that John passed on during their years together. The philosophy remains the same - that quality, performance and style comes first.

each and every cleft will require a slightly different amount of pressure per square inch in order to ensure that the optimum performance is gleaned.

Once pressed the cleft is spliced ready for the fitting of the handle. Newbery handles are constructed to allow for a balance between durability and performance and common to all senior Newbery bats is the treble spring handle, which we know to give the bat greater feel and ‘whip’. Particular care is given to the binding, a strong Irish linen thread, which effectively tunes the flex of the handle. The handle is left subtly oval in shape, again for greater feel, and is set slightly forward so that the line of the handle follows the line of the blade’s natural bow.

The primitive bat is given individual character by the craftsman who cuts and shaves the willow to a weight and balance determined only by his experience. It is his job to make the best out of every single cleft. The shaping and balancing of each Newbery bat is done by hand and eye. Traditional tools such as the drawknife, spokeshave and block-plane are used to shape the blade and create a ‘middle’ to the bat. Each bat will then be sanded and polished to a smooth burnish before being graded for resilience and appearance. Finally the Newbery crest and ribbon are applied.
