Title: Kookaburra Bubble replica
Post by: Marc28 on March 05, 2013, 09:00:43 AM: Question to the Bat makers

Is it possible to have a replica of a Kookaburra Bubble made up, to the same specs as the awesome ones i remember growing up and being used by players like Alec Stewart and Graeme Thorpe, i would want a short handle weight around 2,10/11, grade 1 willow as well.
Also what kind of price would i be looking at.

Prices will differ but all the guys on here are excellent!! Quality will be second to none as well. Get some prices from the makers and all I will say is good luck deciding who to go with :) Robs price for this service is £250.00 but that includes a personal service and RP will know the bubble shape very well considering he was at Kook making them ;)

It did have a nice profile though....! I think Ryan turned it into a Laminate? I'm pretty certain it was a better bat after he had finished with it!

On a side note £250 for a real bespoke bat from Rob Pack does put certain other 'custom/bespoke' offers into perspective doesn't it! Great value for money.
