Didn't see any when we were at GN! Hadn't even heard of it. Possibly a load of re-stickered Oblivion E41 bats exclusive to CD

I noticed this retailer listed this exclusive kookaburra bat, Kookaburra Lithium

Would that actually be a new bat or just exclusive name and stickers lol

I had a kook viper in for knocking in last year, exclusive to pro direct I think.

I rolled down the grip to look at the stickers on the binding that all kook bats have.
