OK chaps,
Details of the Kookaburra 2014 range can be found here: http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=26559.0 (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=26559.0)
I will take pre-orders on the rest of the range by request, but for now i am concentrating on the Bubble range.
THe Bubble is back. I am as excited as i have ever been, about anything. I am on the verge of ditching my beloved Gray Nics kit in favour of my favourite ever range, the classic Kookaburra Bubble, which is back in a big way.

The new Bubble range comprises of 4 bats through various grades, a high end set of pads & gloves, and a more modestly priced set of pads & gloves. As well as a classically styled Bubble branded wheelie holdall. Prices are as follows.
BATS
Bubble Players £380
Bubble Legend £215
Bubble Star £150
Bubble Power (fake grain sheet) £100
PADS, GLOVES & BAG
Bubble Legend Pads £68
Bubble Legend Gloves £52
Bubble Star Pads £40
Bubble Star Gloves £32
Bubble Wheelie Holdall £55
And now on to the offer. The Kookaburra 2014 range has not officially launched yet, that will happen at the trade shows which this year are the 18th and 19th of September. Until the 18th September i am offering the following for those of you looking to pre-order.
5% discount off the above prices if you order any Bubble bat.
7.5% discount off the above prices if you order any Bubble bat, along with a set of pads & gloves.
10% discount off the above prices if you go the whole hog and order any Bubble bat, pads, gloves & holdall.
Of course, i will handpick the bat to your required specs, weight etc when we visit Kookaburra which is just down the road from us. As always with forum offers, i will knock the bats in for free for you, and you still get to take advantage of our free delivery on everything offer which is ongoing now for the second year running.
I am happy to accept non-refundable deposits, with the balance payable when your items are due to be delivered. You can pay as much as you want as a deposit, the only restriction is a minimum of £50. (unless just ordering pads or gloves or the bag, in which case please pm me to discuss)
Thats all for now folks. Hopefully this will prove just as popular as our Gray Nics Ashes promotion.

Sent you a PM with my request please mate.
Great to see them bring the bubble back in a very retro/modern way
-
All received mate.
2 Bubble bats ordered already, happy days :)
-
Now that looks like a retro bat re-done well.
-
Looks like they've followed the GN pattern rather than the GM... I'm just waiting for the Ridgeback to make a Retro appearance!
-
What size do the pads come in Jake?
-
Legends are in Mens only. The Star pads are Mens, Boys or Youths.
-
So tempted by this, what a great way to bring back a retro range. And I must say its much better than the Aussie version ;)

Thanks Jake.
What is the grading on these bats?
-
Want one. But am I seeing the dreaded words SHORT HANDLE ONLY in there?

You are unfortunately mate. :(
Thanks Jake.
What is the grading on these bats?
Kookaburras Grading is always a little murky.
Players is the same as the core range Players bats. Grade 1+ best quality available to kook, supposedly only 100 made per year, not so sure about that but they are lovely.
Legend is definitely Grade 1.
Star is likely to be grade 2 and who knows what is under the fake grain sheet on the Power?!
-
You are unfortunately mate. :(
any wiggle room?

Will ask, not had much luck with previous attempts though.
-
Very tempted! What's the weight range?
-

Listed as 2'8 - 2'12

Oh dear......Bubble 5* was my first adult bat and my god it was an absolute belter......Everything about this thread will mean the wife will not be going shopping for a while!
-
What are the bubble gradings equivalent in the other kook range?
-
looks much better than the Australian version. We have no retro stickers over here.
-
Finally someone who has done a good retro sticker
-
this thread could be the death of my bank balance
-
It would be nice to see actual pics of Bubble Players and Legend I think. Love the look and shape, never had a bubble but this does look very nice.
-
i use to use bubble kit and the lenged pads i had a big round bubble in the middle and use to have yellow grips on me bats

Having bought a Bubble last week, I actually think the modern stickers look excellent.

I agree. If the Aus bubble was bought out as a brand new never seen before range people would be very impressed. However as the bubble already has its own image. The old branding throws me back to the good old days, when summer seemed to last forever.

Quite a few pre-orders now. Remember guys this is a very limited time offer, September 18th is the cut-off.

Had a good response on the Bubble pre-orders so far, also getting a decent uptake on the Impulse range, it seems the orange/turquoise colour way is proving popular. :)
Please feel free to PM me with any questions

Of the 'normal' ranges, the Impulse is definitely my favourite.
Quite a few Bubbles ordered up so far, the Legend range being the most popular. I am desperate to pick a few more Stars though chaps, i am confident i can dig you out some gems for £150 (before discount)

Loving the new/old stickers with the large Kookaburra bird logo. Never knew why they got rid of them or made it have less emphasis. Thorpe and Ponting are 2 of my heroes and as a result bought a bubble years back, which I eventually gave to my school for the kids to use as its better than all their school kit bats. Still gives me great pleasure seeing in action. A Ridgeback would also be great to see make a come back.

You can change my order to a star as long as I still get a grainy, pingy beauty mate I would love to save some money :D

Nothing is guaranteed until I get there, but based on this years circa £150 bats, I'm sure I can find something. :)
We can chat closer to the time mate.

5% off our prices if you order just a bat
7.5% off our prices if you order bat, pads & gloves
10% off our prices if you order bat, pads, gloves and a bag
We offer free delivery and I will knock-in your hand picked bats for free as well. :)

Just to make you all aware the knocking in that Jake provides is top notch, he knocked in my X181 and as an opening bat faced the new ball and no marks, small cracks etc and the bat pings from the get go so would recommend his knocking in service.

I'm off to play cricket for (hopefully) the next two days.
Please email me
jake@vitascricket.co.uk
If you want to discuss any pre-order options, it is easier for me to reply on my phone to an email, rather than a forum pm.

Impulse (and of course the Bubble) are the big winners so far. Not a single pre-order for last years runaway best seller the Ricochet yet. ???
-
Chaps, we will be taking pre-orders on all Kook equipment (prices for the rest of the range available on request) up until the 18th of September, the discount structure on page 1 still applies until then.
We will then take the short trip to visit Kookaburra (something we do at least once a month) to handpick the bat you have ordered to your desired specs.

While you're there can you let them know my gloves have split again ;)
-
Ha, i've replied to your topic mate, :)
-
Just had our first pre-order for the works. Bat, pads, gloves & a bag.
Handpicked, knocked in & delivered for free. All with a lovely 10% discount on top.
September the 18th is our cutoff for pre-order discounts. :)
Jake
-
Hi chaps,
2 days to go to pre-order Kookaburra equipment from us at a discounted price.
After this date, we are still happy to take pre-orders, with all the same benefits, but the discount is there to entice you early birds. :)
-
1 day to go chaps.
Please let me know if you are looking at going down the pre-order route.
Jake

Belatedly, thanks to serious man-flu, this offer is now closed.
Many thanks for all your pre-orders guys, i saw the range a few weeks ago, and having seen it again at the trade shows last week, i can safely say you will all be getting some top quality equipment. :)
I will announce our hand picking date and confirm specs with customers in the coming weeks.
Jake
-
Any news when this likely to happen?
-
No confirmed date yet, currently looking at mid-November as a rough estimate
