Been busy with few other important business matters, plenty available to chose from plus I have already selected bats which I left at the kookaburra warehouse.

Imagine a forum sponsor retailers day out to the kook warehouse, could be quite entertaining and create some big arguments  :D.

Just arrived back after spending nearly whole day hand picking our bats. It was hard work this year. Had to test every bat and that was time cosuming, some were really good looking but little hard pressed, left those for my friend Paul from It'sjustcricket who is visiting tomorrow :D.  Paul i have left few for u mate. Can't put the photos up yet but i can tell you that you guys will be surprised what i have picked today.
Just wait for the photos, can't guarantee 20 grains but performance will be exceptional and clean willow.
I am busy for the next 2 days, will post photos on Friday.

Thanks for putting those bats aside for us, Asad. Couldn't resist one of the Kahuna 900s! :-) I am a bit annoyed you took so many Bubbles though - there were hardly any left?! :-(

who told u that i took all the bubbles, i only took 1 or 2 as the ones they had left were not what i was looking for. I did take few before to satisfy my pre order customers

Nobody told me, Asad, I just assumed you would take a few of those! But clearly you didn't, so sorry for the accusation! Clearly other shop/s are the guilty party here! :-)

Don't worry, Chad, we got yours. She's not much to look at, but is exactly the right weight and tapped up better than anything else there for me! Incredible performance for the grade! :-)

Apparently more Bubbles will be arriving in mid December, so most of our other pre-order customers will have to wait until then, unfortunately. I will contact you all individually, but for now I'd like to apologise for the wait!

Can't wait to see what Asad came away with! I am sure they will be belters!! :-)

Post by: Uzi Sports on November 29, 2013, 09:41:42 AM
You are correct Paul, most of the Bubbles went to shops but I did pick few on my very quick last visit to fulfill our pre orders so I have 1-2 left but on this visit there was nothing for me so have to wait until December.
Any way half of our Kookaburra bat order has arrived but as I busy yesterday I will post photos. As you know i pick my bats on performance rather than looks, they may not look as good as yours :D

Asad

Based on the GN sticks you picked, I'm not sure about that - some real lookers in there!! We pick on performance too, remember (and looks)...

Our Kook bats will be arriving today, so we can compare and contrast!  :)  Check out our YT channel for a video tour of the range later...

Looks are not really important to me but they do come out good looking.
Looking forward to your video tour and as I mentioned many times to u, i do enjoy your videos :D

Asadbhai I know you pick on performance, but the looks on that for a lower end model isn't half bad! How much are you selling these for?
Title: Re: Handpicking Kookaburra Bats tomorrow
Post by: Colesy on November 30, 2013, 12:22:22 AM
Look a lot better with the Kook bird rather that "big edge" IMO
Title: Re: Handpicking Kookaburra Bats tomorrow
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on November 30, 2013, 12:47:43 AM
Surely looks are the major factor when selling online though as people can't judge the performance from a photo?

Unless you have a scale of performance next to each bats photo online which in reality is always going to be in the high percentiles in order to justify the price/selection/sale.

Completely agree with you on the point that bat has to look nice if you want to sell online. When I am picking my bats I honestly have left some really nice looking bats back in the boxes as they wouldn't have pleased our customer on performance.
Most of our customers who buy from us may not get 20 grains bat but they will definitely be happy with the performance. Just need to be very honest with ur customers. I don't claim to have knowledge compare to some of the forum members or sponsors but after being in the cricket industry as a player initially and now retailer I know a little what kind of bats I need to pick.

that's absolutely true for online buyers who don't have large retail shops where they live. Looks and advertise weight is all you can go by...less privileged I think :D

The question I am asking

What is the difference between a good looking Impluse Hurricane that retails at £100 elsewhere to a Ricochet 300 that Asad will retail for £100?? Which can also look the same?

I was wondering why it would be priced at £180 when it seems Kookaburras RRP is lower as per the other retailer.

I am not having a dig or trying to rouse an argument. I was merely wondering

I think it's just the grip though, mate. At Jake's suggestion I swapped mine over for a Kook players' grip I had lying around and it's transformed the pick-up. It does seem rather counter-intuitive that a lighter grip would make the bat pick up better but there you go!

Not that I'm the best judge! :D

Most seem to be about 2.11 or. 2.12 but I managed to get one at 2.10 dead on and pick up is very nice not to mention the things flys as well.

These are same shape as impulse bats, these are on equivalent to impulse 450. Retailers who are part of a buying group are only offered these at special price. I hope this answers ur question
