Thank you for your comments. It was sourced online from JJB Sports in October 2011.
The 2011 Blade range number series was usually 250 / 500 / 750 / 950 so not sure of the reason behind a 300 too. There is a 300 model for 2012 though.

The 300 is a model made for some specific suppliers such as JJB. I can't remember if it is only available from them or others such as Sports Direct are supplied with the 300.

nice stick for a 300. I did wonder whether it was the 2011 or 2012 model. 2012 have gone big edge and flat face/crazy concaving. 2011 looks a better balanced stick to me.

It has '11' On the handle in the set of pics, although I don't know whether Kooka use that to date their bats.

Yes, it is definitely 2011 model year as per the subject line, evidenced by sticker design and stamp on the shoulder. Haven't seen the shape of the 2012 to comment, interesting to hear its changed.
