Title: Kookaburra CCX 900 bat
Post by: AlanB on October 22, 2011, 10:33:38 AM

Recently purchased on ebay from Lorimers. One of a number of this model being auctioned and fetching between GBP 100 - 130 approximately. Advertised as 2lb 12oz, picks up well, may be a little lighter than that.

Looks a beauty, how many grains?

That's a peach! Looks very good for £100-130.

Thank you for your comments. There were at least 10 of this model sold by Lorimers, this I felt was one of the better cosmetically and was auctioned later in the batch. 2 grains of heartwood on leading edge of RH batsman, one thin one on the opposite edge. 13 grains in total.

There is a couple of Long Blades available on ebay now, price at GBP 100+ already, with over a day to run.
 
Have subsequently purchased on ebay the CCX Players Edition gloves from Lorimers too.

I'm curious as to your thoughts on pickup. I find mine to be rather odd.

Is yours a LB Tim?
I've found mine different, but pleasantly so.

Additional photographs showing the profile. Whilst the pick up is unique to the shape of the bat, it's not an issue for me.
