Title: So this turned up from Oz this morning 😆
Post by: Calzehbhoy on April 03, 2017, 11:36:34 AM
Bought blind from KD Sports as I was aware they weren't making them anymore and this was one of the last I could find anywhere online. Got to say I'm pretty amazed this hadn't been picked up in the shop. I'm away at the moment so can't get my hands on it but believe the weight is around 2.12

I believe this is the one I mentioned on here a few months back. I was very tempted at the time but I already had a 2lb12 that I can't use even though it's the best performing bat I  have.

This one's a beaut

Lovely looking stick.
Is this one of the 50mm edge style kaboom?
Not sure wether it's the camera angle or my eyes but looks like a more regular profile

Looks smaller than the usual Kabooms. Share the specs when you get the chance. I had this in the cart and was waiting for pictures :D

I believe it is the old style and just the camera angle making it look small. I'm not in the country at the moment so haven't had a chance to check it out personally but having seen some of the Kaboom Signatures thought this one was pretty decent looking and you'd enjoy the bat porn. I'm back in the country Sunday and am hoping to have a swing around with it on Monday so will check it out more then and get it fully measured up.

It was the camera angle. Back to the office today and managed to finally get my hands on the bat!

Handle is really thin but apart from that this is a monster! 48mm Edge, 17mm Shoulder, 20mm edge of toe, 25mm centre of toe. Spine more or less going into the toe. Pick up really is out of this world on these as well! Well impressed!

I ignored it the first time i visited and just appreciated the bat, but there's something really bothering me...
The end of the tape should be at the back of the bat (ideally in line with the spine) not that the front and off centre!!

If the handle tap is the worst thing about the bat when I finally get to use it I'll be a happy man!
