The Newbery Navarone is a modern twist on a Newbery classic. Favoured by club cricketers playing on slower, lower English wickets, this bat is designed to enhance your game with its precision, power, and controlled performance. Its low middle and thick edges make it ideal for front-foot stroke play, while the striking colourway ensures you stand out stylishly at the crease. Handcrafted for exceptional balance, this bat combines minimal concaving for a fuller sweet spot with a large profile, ensuring you have the confidence to take on any bowler. Whether you're driving through the covers or hitting back down the ground, the Navarone is designed to help you dominate the game. Features Blade: Traditional Full-length Blade Sweet Spot: Low (Ideal for front-foot players and slower pitches) Profile: Large profile with minimal concaving for a wide sweet spot Spine: Prominent spine for balance and stability Bow: Slight bow to enhance pick-up and control Finish: Premium polished design with striking decals Can't find your preferred size or weight?
