Title: Kookaburra Instinct 500 Cricket Bat
Post by: rahul_1987 on September 03, 2015, 09:54:38 AM
Short Handle size being sold on amazon for £66ish. I think this is a misprice but mine has been dispatched so grab a bargain. You can always return if you don't like it  :) Link below.

Just ordered myself one. Hopefully the weight isn't too heavy

Just bought myself one too...maybe we could do swaps on here if people do not get their desired weights and others have them?

Great idea @thedon - I'd be happy with that!

As always I'm after the lightest stick going, what's everyone's preference?

2.8 to 2.10 if I was to keep it.

I think they come in 2.7-2.9 so you should be fine

My bat turned up today. Weighs 2lb 8oz. Not the best looker but has a decent rebound off it. Undecided to keep or sell on.

I may well have just pulled off the steal of the year... pick up is outrageously light too.

Still at work so couldn't comment yet! On pick up alone I'd say around the 2.7 mark weight wise

If I'm right in counting 17 grains on the face you've paid around £3.88 per grain  :D

Great looking bat that. Received mine today. Weighs 2.6.7 on scale with 29 mm edge and 60 mm spine and 8 grains. Big bat for its weight. There is a bit of heartwood and a minor blemish on the outside edge which I am not at all bothered about. Will post pictures shortly

Sounds very decent that - seems like we've all done pretty well for under £70!
