Just got this kooka through this morning, seems a really nice one. sort of needed another bat and was lucky enough to get a decent one. its a kookaburra kahuna 1000 which i got direct so was able to specifiy some details such as shape, grain, weight etc..
havent hit it with a ball or mallet yet but feels beautifully balanced and sits in my hands very nicely indeed.
weighs 2.9 stickered and single grip and is pretty large for said weight, also picks up awsome.
something like 12/13 grains with a smallish butterfly stain halfway up the face of the blade.
will have a hit with it later on today to see how it feels and wether its match ready or not, im not knocking it in.
got it pretty cheap, a lot less then rrp so dont ask how much it cost - but either way i got a very good deal

| Looks a great stick, big profile for 2.9! Glad to see someone else who doesn't bother knocking bats in! |

| ive always liked the look of kook's, looks a decent bat mate. when you said you went direct, did you go and get a bat picked out at their HQ or did they pick one based on your spec? |

| doesnt need it, few throwdowns and bowling machine should be fine. used it today and goes very well, still soft so needs a bit of time to tighten up though.. think knocking in bats is a bit over rated and boring, edges and toe maybe but i dont touch the middle |

Just my opinion, obviously makes no different when your racking up the runs. |
