Bit slow on this. Bats are Kookaburra Kahuna, Blaze, Surge, Ghost, Fuse and Zinc.
Released tomorrow, keep an eye on their Twitter. They posted this today - stickers are awesome

here we go again... :D

Love these!
Still have no interest in a Kook bat though lol
-
Kook signs up Usman and there is no Kahuna series anymore ??? Didn't their twitter account feature teasers for new Kahuna ?
-
Fiery red color scheme will look good on Butler. The way he goes about his job must have inspired Kook to go for blazing red !
-

Yeh, sorry there is a Kahuna series.

No need to be sorry mate. I was just wondering what the heck did Kook do :D !
-
Jos looks chuffed with his new stick.
"So I get paid now, right?"
Reminds me of the Vitas Focus Mugshot Competiton :D
-
I think he's gone boss-eyed
-
This is ridiculous. We just get the new stickers etc down here and then the new ones come out. Before we can actually buy them they are out of date. Bloody NZ being miles away.
-
love the colour scheme on this. certainly stands out
-
Saw Kookaburra 2017 the other day, will see it again at Lords
The dark blue and light blue Surge range is my favourite. Ghost pads and gloves as well as Ghost bats in many grades should please plenty of customers. Specifically looking at the wants of many on the forum, the Ghost Pro glove is a sausage finger pittard palm!

Were Kookaburra not allowed into the trade show, so just propped their new range up against the game outside? ???
-
Liking the pro looking pads and loving the colour range...
-
Liking this orange/red colour scheme. For all you old timers out there, reminiscent of the kookaburra Diablo range from many moons ago. IIRC Damien Martyn used that range

Agree one of my favourite ranges, had the colour fading in that range as well in the mid 2000s. Colours not unlike the genesis range as well...

Seriously good looking kit from Kookaburra! Loving the Ghost softs!
-
Some would say plain softs are dull, I say elegant.
No shame in admitting the updated ghost range made my wood tingle a bit...
-
All over that ghost gear
-
Love the look of the ghost range really is lovely
-
yeah gloves are very smart.
Like the colour scheme on the Ghost too. The large silver/grey sticker on the back would also look good(on the front)
No idea if these bats are any good or not but the graphics are excellent
-
Classy stickers. How different do Kookaburra bats at versus standard SG bats? Is there any cross sharing of profiles?
-
ghost gear looks amazing, personally love plain white softs, very classy

SG T45 LE and Kook Ghost 500 had the exact same profile in my observation. Sharing profiles or copying ? I am guessing latter is true ...
-
Ghost range from Kook is really looking very good. They have released the pics of Surge range on instagram. Check it out guys ...

Bloke at my Club is sponsored and has the Ghost stickers on his bat. They look unreal.

As SG make Kookaburra bats I don't think it's going to be copying lol

Quite curious to know who actually comes up with the profile. Does Kook give profiles for SG to make or does SG propose and Kook selects ?
-
I reckon the Kooka UK range outdoes the Aussie range again. We have an awesome Ghost range down here but the rest of the U.K. gear looks so much more impressive.
-
Have a Ghost players bat and Storm gloves on the way. Also decided to order a bag. Ghost range looks really impressive this year, Kookaburra outdoing most off the shelf companies once again this year. Let's hope it's a good investment!
-
Quite interesting how the English range of kookaburra is better than the Aussie one, when kookaburra are originally an Aussie company, and the opposite is true for GN!
-
Better is a matter of opinion.
-
Images of the majority of the range now

Some seriously good looking softs/stickers there. The only one I don't like particularly is the Fuse, but I can see why it would be popular. Love the whole Ghost range, the Surge and Blaze look great as well. If only I'd remained loyal as a Kooka user for another season or two.
-
If I was going look it would be a fuse bat and ghost softs I think
-
I've kinda ordered my 2017 kook gear already!! Can't wait.
-
Just picked up a 2016 Kahuna 900 at half-price - now I know why. Assuming it's just a sticker change, I can live with that for a season. I very rarely look at Grade 1 or 2 willow so was happy enough.
Sorry I didn't go custom by the way, but playing cricket in 3rd or 4th XI I can't justify the expense...
-
Keepers always have to wait ages for the new gear to be displayed properly

I've had a few quality Kahunas off Vitas over the last few years, some others I've seen can be a lot more concaved for similar weights, so performance can vary, but the ones I've had have been guns. Hope yours goes well.
Custom doesn't have to be expensive I had a quality custom X3 off Redink a year or 2 back, and just put another order in.

Kookaburra entering the big bat market?
-
saw that yesterday. Why would they mention VERY HEAVY. That itself will rule out so many buyers. It will be nice to get a big T20 bat but if its 2-14 and above then whats the point

I'm sure @smilley792 will enlighten you :)
Its basically a relaunch of the Big Kahuna and Biggest Kahuna range, which were always very big, heavy bats.

Why would anyone want a bat lighter than 2.14????

Because I'm a wuss and can't lift one that weight, let alone swing it... :-[
-
If they sell anything like as well as the original big Kahunas Kook will do nicely! And if they go like the originals then count me in, best performing bat I've ever had.

That's why I've ordered one since I knew they were coming!!
-
Are they available in a number of grades or is it just a one off like the ghosts @smilley792

Two grades, obscene and Xtreme, £300 and £200 respectfully.
-
Never owned a kook bat, if I get any more though the wife will hit the roof! She's already talking about me having a clear out

The pricing is a bit extreme and obscene as well as the names... :D

Custom doesn't have to be expensive I had a quality custom X3 off Redink a year or 2 back, and just put another order in.
I decided, you'll be pleased to hear, that I wasn't 100% happy with the Kook - 'Twas a nice bat but the pick up wasn't perfect and I just decided I NEED to go custom for my next bat and to support the vendors on here.
To that end, I have just purchased some B&S softs and I'll be sorting my bat choice out soon enough. I need to get over my "all matching gear" OCD and this is the season...

Note these are rrp, so more likely to be 250 and 180 in shops, and if you order from jake @Vitas Cricket in the vitas prenorder! You may get a discount on that.
-
Pre-ordered a Kook Bigger Kahuna xtreme from Jake. Need a replacement for my Biggest Kahuna.
-
Did anyone else notice the T20 range?
Do we know what sort of pricing it would be?

Same as the ghost, but blue. The pricing follows the ghost range.

Do they only come in blue? A bit of a pointless range unless your team plays in blue....

Yes. It's an initial entry into the market to see how it goes, blue being the most popular colour that's the starting point for them. If it goes well expect more colours for 2018
