uhh..buy a light bat then? Go to a shop and try a load, see how they feel and pick up to make sure you get the right one for you - then shop around online and save some money! |

If I were to buy a bat online, I would probably buy it from a shop in England or australia. The shipping would cost more than the bat and it would be a waste of money for me. |

Calm down... Take it easy.
Kookabura is a well known company and most people say its good. I have used 2 different Kookabura's at practice so you can't say that I haven't used kookabura. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

| why does everyone loves kookaburra?. I mean why pay a brand inflated price for a bat thats no better and even more expensive than getting say, a custom like laver and wood. that way you can have it how you like it |

dude, all these bats are made in india and pakistan with english willow, the componies tell them the shape for fitting their stickers. All the international players have bats made according to their taste and likes, and then they put their sponsers stickers on. Yes kookaburra bats are good, but so are all the rest, because its the same wood being used, just the style, the cut and the weight distribution is different. I know puma bats are made by Julian millichamp he used to be a podshaver in England before moving to Perth, his bats are amazing.

actually not in my case, if i bought bats becuase i liked who used them it would be GM, but i had a Kookaburra Kahuna, that felt good, and then when i used it it was an absolute belter!
and to whoever said that most bats are the same just different shape etc, well actually some companies press the bats more than others to make them more durable, whereas some press it for performace |
Posted By: blazinhassan
Date Posted: 07 May 2006 at 9:23pm
| ur right "crick" i said exactly the same thing without using the word pressing or performance of durable, the company tells the sweatshops to make the bats exactly how they want them, so in the same shop, bats for kookaburra, slazenger (recently sold by the real owner (dunlop) to some person who screwed up the company now) sg, bas vampire GM, all these bats are made there and companies tell them the specifications. Kookaburra are pressed much harder.. |
