I will be viewing the Kookaburra 2014 range in store at approx 3pm today.
Hopefully i'll have some pictures and pricing to bring to the forum, as well as a pre-order offer along the lines of our recent Gray Nics one.
Watch this space....

Well...???????????

Well it might more than 40 minutes! Be patient :)

He's only been there 40 mins.....

The time here is 5 o'clock !!

Sometimes it wouldn't hurt if you used your brain.
It may take the Kook rep a little more than a few minutes to show Jake the new range. Also, I'm sure that he will then have a little more to do than simply rush to the forum. Sometimes real life takes precedence!
And I'm pretty sure Vitas isn't in southern Africa.

:( jeepers sorry, I was just saying something! I really am sorry for making a post asking what has happened, sincere apologies!
I know he won't rush to the forum mate, I'm not 4 years old! Does real life really sometimes take precedence ? WOW!! I know vitas isn't in southern Africa mate, I'm not thick !

Gentlemen,
The Bubble is back
(http://i.imgur.com/2N4U2rZh.png?1)
-
Bubble looks good but similar shape to all their other range no?
-
Tease mate !
-
As are PROPER retro softs.
(http://i.imgur.com/1O1tAGsh.png)
I have a pair of pads at home almost identical to the Bubble Star. I am so happy. :)
-
Stunning! So glad that Kook went down the GN retro route rather than the GM one... :D
Any ideas about pricing yet? realise it's a bit soon...
-
Aside from the Bubble range (which is a standalone retro release) there are 3 core Kookaburra ranges. The Kahuna and bestselling Ricochet are retained, and a new addition to the family is Ian Bells new bat, the Impulse.

I am putting together a pre-order Bubble offer right now.
-

Similar middle position, but far less concaving than typical Kook bats.
-
It is, aside from the Ultra Menace and Menace T20.
Further details on the core range will become apparent in the coming days, for now i am concentrating on the Bubble.
-
if you could put a pic up of the softs etc that would be great :)
-

I'd say the back looks a lot fuller than the current concaved Kooks.

So you made a series of stupid comments/questions and when you got the matter of fact answers, you've replied with ridicule..
not cool >:( and actually pretty similar behaviour to a 4 year old so ner ner ne ner nah!
Back on topic Bubble looks great - it's jumping on the retro band wagon a bit, but at least they've done a good job of it!
-
Yep that bubble shap looks excellent.
-
Looking at the moden Kooks, I really struggle to see the difference inthe profile to the Kahuna, Impulse and the middle bat which name i've forgotten cos it's on page 1 of this thread :)
I know there is a difference there, but it's not obvious to my eye.
-
Impulse - the deodorant choice of my wife.
Good choice Kookaburra...
-
They've knocked it out of the park with that Bubble. Looks stunning, modern with retro influences.

i agree Tom, it is absolutely perfect. They were a little worried that it wouldn't 'fit' with the rest of the range which carries the type of Kook branding we have become accustomed to in recent years.
I say 'who cares?!' - This range will be the smash hit of 2014 in my opinion.
-
what about the Ridgeback that was the weapon on choice when i were a lad!
Big fan of that Bubble though, was it Thorpe and Stewart who used them from memory?

Just dug my first pair of batting pads out, thanks for the name in permenant marker Mum!

Love how true to the original spirit of the range they have kept things.

I know there is a difference there, but it's not obvious to my eye.
To the eye they do look similar, but reading bumph and rebooking I believe. The kahuna and impulse are the same shape/style (low middle concaved) but one has the "flat" face and one has a conventional face.
The ricochet has A high middle, flat face and similar concaving.
Thank god for the bubble with a non concaved kahuna(although it says slight concaved which makes me believe the light and more dense bubbles will be concaved like the rest, doh)

even though ive preordered a Powerspot from you already i need to know what prices the Bubble will retail for if you know that is as i may need one of them in my life as well

The uk branding of the bubble is so much better than the Aus.

I agree, i had a huge smile when our Kook rep said 'and here is the Bubble' whilst pulling one of those beauties out of the bag. I would have been so dissapointed with a Ricochet carrying the word 'Bubble' on the sticker.
-
What where the kahunas like that he showed you? Did they have the same amount of concaving as this years?

I was half tempted to get an Aus version. But now seeing this I'm gonna have to earn some brownie points with the missus. I'm back in the uk for 4 weeks at Xmas! Perfect timing!!
-
Have to admit, I rather like these, but they us those dreaded "Only available in SH" words...
-
YYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Love it!
Jake, there will definitely be an order coming your way for the Bubble (I assume the Legend is Grade 1? Can't justify stretching to the players' before Xmas!)
Agree the Bubble softs and the Impulse softs are amazing - there's a decision to be made there....
The Powerspot is going to have to wait!
-
Impluse looks nice, although I expect the Bubble to be more of an impulse buy. Not much point debating the differences in shape with these bats, as there rarely is any difference in shape with Kookaburra. Nice to see the Bubble have what looks to be a slightly lower middle and less concaving though - I guess it's just a bigger edged version of the original?
-
Wow they really have bought back the bubble in all its glory good to see from kookaburra after some lacklustre bats over the recent years. Would love one, Jake does the bubble still have the edges in the bubble or not it is just hard to see from the catalogue.
-
I'd like to see them bring back the retro gloves with the first 2 fingers joined and extra padded... Aaaahhhh memories
-
Looking at the kook kahuna range I gather the bubble grading is as follows.
Bubble players = kahuna players (limited edition/ G1+)
Bubble legend = kahuna 1250 (G1)
Bubble star = kahuna 800 (G2)
Bubble power = kahuna 400 (with a 'pro shield cover') (G3/4)
Would that be correct?
Although the 2014 kahuna range seems to go,
Players
900
600
Prodigy
-

Kahuna and Ricochet haven't changed, other than stickers.

That is about right in terms of the grading for the Bubble. I'm not sure i would class any Kahuna 800 i have in stock as grade 2 though, lovely bats. Bubble Star is £150, whereas a Kahuna 800 is £230.
Also there is a Kahuna 1250 and a 400 in the 2014 range too.

So are you saying the 800's are better than G2?

That is a typical example of a Kahuna 800 i have in stock right now, i've got about 5 of them all very similar.
Players are listed as the very best willow Kook has available, 1250's are listed as 'test match quality' willow and 800's as 'professional quality' willow.
So it is all very cloak and dagger as they don't put a number on what 'professional quality' means.
-
Wowzers! If that'll be the quality of the bubble star (also described as 'professional quality') I think you can expect a PM!

Thats where i think some confusion has arisen. A Bubble Star is £150, whereas a Kahuna 800 is £230.
The bat above is more likely to be a good example of what a Bubble Legend will be like.
-
Although you are right, the Star is listed as professional quality willow.
It is probably a case of Kook changing their grading boundaries/definitions.
-
Thought it'd be too good to be true. Still I'm very tempted.
-
The Aussie bubble is boring compared to this... I love it... As Tim said Ridgeback next please
-

Totally agree, the Uk bubble is much, much better than the Aussie version, which hasn't really tempted me at all.
I also really like the impulse colour scheme.
-
The bubble range looks really nice, and is very tempting. I can see this being an expensive off season for some of us! :D
-
Interesting that Ricky Ponting still being used to endorse the Kahuna range. I thought AB de Villiers might have been used since Pontings retirement.
Have to agree with others, the Bubble looks lovely!

If my Bubble Legend arrives and looks like that Jake I will be really happy.
-
Oh boy it looks like its going to be a bubble vs powerspot debate for me for the next few weeks.
That impulse does look nice though and be interesting to see a round edge bat from kook.

By round edge, do you mean round face? Since the flat face fad has come in, Kook have always had at least one round face bat, this year it is the Recoil. In all honesty the Impulse isn't a million miles from the recoil, new graphics aside.
If my Bubble Legend arrives and looks like that Jake I will be really happy.
I'll do my very best mate :)
-
Yes Jake meant round face....typo in excitement i must say :)
-
Hi Jake, I know I have enquired about you selecting a powerspot for me, but the bubble looks ace, what is the pick up like on both the bubble and powerspot?
Thanks
-

I've sent you a PM mate, pickups are hard to judge from sample bats. But the actual bats we will stock will be in a range of weights and pickups.
-
Ugh - Can't wait for the Christmas bonus.
My off the shelf bat shopping list is getting longer and longer;
Powerspot
Dynadrive
Bubble 2...
-
Did anyone see the pads that Michael Carberry was using today in the second ODI?
The colour scheme at the back seemed to be orange and turquoise like the Impulse, rather than the colour scheme of the Recoil. Might be mistaken, but they looked the same colour as the impulse.
Personally i really like the Impulse's colour scheme, then again I am a Miami Dolphins fan! :D
-
Hi Jake,
Any pics of the wicket keeping range?
Cheers!
-
Will upload more pictures tomorrow. :)
-
I'll definately be having a look at the bubble range for next season. Love the retro branding, brings back memories of Alec Stewart.
Looking forward to seeing more photos.
-
must say i am liking the kooks recently, and i agree with the comment of them going down the GN look with the retro branding unlike GM, even though i like GM the original style is so much nicer looking forward to getting in the shop when its released.
-

AB is on the verge of signing for Spartan.

Note the long cut gloves lower down the range, the 750. These will be very popular i think.
-
Do you have the Midas range in the UK?
-
Nope.
Kahuna, Ricochet, Impulse, Bubble and the Ultra/T20 Menaces is the UK range.
-
They have released a Midas glove/ mit... Looks bloody terrible
-
(http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x406/number414/image_zps521ea9e9.jpg)

At least it's something a bit different, but jeez that is fugly.
EDIT - I wonder what the 'Yep these are ...' parts says?
'...Fugly, but who cares kids love them.'
-
Looks just like the Menace mitts we had for 2013 in the UK. We actually sold all the mittens we had at full asking price. I fully expected them to be hanging around until end of season sale time.
Kids absolutely love them.
-
Clearly this is going to be an expensive off-season.
I am genuinely torn between the Bubble and Impulse softs - there's a 27-yo me sitting on one shoulder saying "Bubble, Graham Thorpe, Bubble..." and the (ahem) 38-yo me going "The Impulse gear will look great with your B3 stickers!" Jake - hide them all away when I come over...!
I know I won't be buying a Kook bag though - why do they insist on the same black and lime year after year? I know, signature colours, but not everyone wants the Kahuna range head-to-toe...
Lovin' the WK range...
-
Thanks for the pics of the Bags Jake, definately liking the Pro Combi wheelie, but question for you which one will last better in your opinion the Kook or the GN100 bag
But i think i may be ordering a lot of stuff from yourself to go with the new Bubble bat

Have to agree with you i've got some Ayrtek gloves at the moment best gloves i've ever had, but the Bubble and Impulse look so good, so told Jake already i'm off to see him when they all come in so i can net with my Bubble bat and try the Softs,
As for the bag i think the Pro combi in the Blue is the lead runner for me but i do need to see the Gn100 as well to compare for sure. but yes not a massive green and black fan myself unless i was sponsored of course then i would love it all (Possibly)

The Pro combi looks decent - I need to see one in the flesh as it were. From my experience Kooks seem to have one huge compartment, whereas the GN and GM bags are well thought out. I may be wrong and would be happy to be proved so - it would be nice to have a Kook bag for all my Kook gear!
Agree - if I were sponsored I'd be asking if they wanted me to drive around in a lime green car as well!
-

Second this. Really not sure what I am going to do for gloves next year. Want something as good as the Ayrtek's or I'll not want to use them.
-
Surprised my comment about de villiers to Spartan didn't generate more conversation!
Certainly the choice so far is between the Bubble or the Impulse. Not one pre-order for a Ricochet or a Kahuna yet!
-
Reckon any pros will use the bubble range?
-
I imagine some of them will be very keen to use it yes.

Bit sad to hear about AB going to Spartan but i'm assuming thats alot to do with the IPL as most Spartan bats are Indian made if i'm not mistaken,
As for the Kook range i think i'm ready to place a big order Jake, mailed you with it.
-
Reckon any pros will use the bubble range?
Would be great to see Bell using it in the first Ashes test, as Strauss did in 2010/11 with the Legend... he can use the Impulse afterwards, just wanna see it on the big stage again!
Jake; I did clock the AB Spartan info - didn't want to corrupt a Kook thread by going off point ;) Spartan are going all out (especially if they get KP). Kook could maybe do with one or two big signings...
-
I think Brad Haddin was, might be mistaken...
The Aus version though, that Bubble version isn't quite the same at all.

Guys why can I never see photos people are posting. Desperate to see the new kooka Bubble

Love the Midas shape and stickers! Although I haaatteee the mittens.

Spartan are really trying to get a big signing in all the teams! AB would be another huge signing for them. Wonder which Indian star they are targeting?
For some reason I really don't like the Midas colour scheme, just like the GM Luna colour scheme didn't catch my fancy.

I tried some gold in the stickers for Vantage however it lacked any 'wow factor' and it was rather dull - which is why I disregarded it, unfortunately until the printers can make it stand out I feel it will always be a dull colour

Agreed that the Luna and Midas lack the 'wow factor'. The gold vantage stickers didn't look tat bad though, but the choices you went with worked better. I still like the white stickers of the Chase FLC range and the white Puma ones.

Agreed, printing wise on stickers - silver chrome has a reflectiveness about it that really makes it stand out above anything else. It makes any other matte/vinyl colour look good around it - similar to the chase FLC and puma stickers you mention.
-
I'm surprised there aren't more white stickers - they stand out so well and I think would look great, particularly in a test match.
David at B3 has also said the copper stickers they have are not selling well...
I've always been of the opinion that stickers can look totally different when paired with different/seemingly unusual coloured grips. For example, Tom Maynard (RIP) had a GM Luna that looked great with a royal blue grip.

Sorry what was that about de Villiers ???

Sorry what was that about de Villiers ???
The rumour is he will be signing with Spartan very soon. Or maybe it's more than just a rumour??
-
Wonder if they'll make him a range
-
Still deciding which BUBBLE to go for.
Hopefully should be getting a custom bat soon, so was looking at the Legend or Star as a second bat. The Star looks to be decent value but obviously not seeing or knowing much about the quality of the bat is making the decision difficult.
Any help? Have you seen the star range buddy?
-
Ive gone for the Legend Bat with Legend gloves but also the impulse pads as they look better and seem better then the bubble ones, but i've gone all Kook for next season, bag and the like as well, but will keep hold of my Ayrtek gloves just in case, so will be having a clear out as soon as i get home, but go for the Legend you know it makes sense
-
Go for the Legend - reckon they'll be great bats for the price...
I'm back and forth on the softs daily. The retro fan in me loves the Bubble range but the Impulse colours are outstanding. May have to go with one range for midweek and another for weekends - I really can't choose!
-
Dammit wish I'd waited for these to come out before getting the new GN stuff. I love those pads, Jake, how do they compare to the legends I got?
-

Well, I use GN legends, slightly older spec than the ones you got, but basically the same. Can't really give a better endorsement!
The top Bubble pads are fantastic though, comparable spec to their 'normal' high end pads, but with classic Bubble styling.
-
I was so torn between the Bubble pads and the Impulse ones, as both look absolute quality, and compared to say the new GM and Slaz and to an extent most of the Grays range, they stand out way above in my opinion and yes i did look and read for hours before deciding, but glad i ordered both the Legend Gloves and the Impulse 900's from Jake and looking forward to getting them later this year,
Jake any news in Bat dates and when we can look but can't touch, as i'm dying for my Bubble

Gentlemen,
The Bubble is back

The bat used in this image for the catalogue and all the retail websites, where is it you ask?
It is sat next to me, begging me to buy it. I really could do with someone taking it off my hands!
I hand picked it as a Bubble Players, didn't even realise what it was until i got it back to the shop.
-
Is that a Players model?
-
Is that a Players model?
It is yes. Although it carries no such stickers. It came from the Players box and i have been charged accordingly. :)
-
Like to ask hows the pickup of the Bubble Players you own??
-
I don't own it, yet....
It picks up very nicely indeed.
-
Come on let's see a pic of the actual bat... No use boasting about it if you don't show it off ;) :D
-
I only have one currently.

I think the Bubble is my fav retro bat... I also like the retro SS Jumbo and Turbo... Not sure of the quality of them though...
This Bubble looks a cracker
-
Haven't tried a player's, but I wasn't fond of the pick up on soulman's. They are bottom heavy.

Having seen it, it's a stunner!
Different stickers on the edges too.
Also picked up my Legend from Jake and got the mallet on it yesterday afternoon - mate, you pick some great bats!

My wallet is thanking me, a forum member (i'll leave it up to them to identify themselves if they want to) purchased this recently. They have grabbed themselves a stunner, as well as being totally unique.

An amazing amount of grains for a 700! That bat has got to have been mis-graded!
BARGAIN!

I'm hoping the E41 Test I've got coming is a stormer too...really didn't need it, but Jake is so persuasive!!

They are great for it! One of the reason I tend to go for kookaburras
-
Nice sticks all round... Kookaburras are great like that... often the mid range bats play much better than the top range ones...
Bit of a lottery really.

We have some stunning kookaburra bats in stock, I will try to post few photos
