Hi all,
I just had sent to me a link to a VIP early look at the Kookaburra 2019 catalogue after I signed up to their website.
I have tried putting the link into here but doesn't seem to work. But it is very easy to sign up.
Very impressed with their new stuff.

The new 'Rampage' Buttler bat looks awesome

Range looks quite decent, pics make all the shapes look quite generic but overall quite decent
-
That's a lovely looking shape that Rampage.
-
All look great, always been a Kook fan since having a Gold Crown as a 16yo budding opener. 'Which will allows' though?!
-
How do I choose between the big kahuna and a ghost obscene????
Not sure I can, have to get one of each.
Any sponsor that can guarantee me the bats in 2.15 gets my business. I’ll also won’t some black pro gloves with it.
-
Kook luggage range looks the best out of the big brands this year, more understated and classy.
Would love to see the Pro Players duffle up close

Well done, it wasn't letting me link the dropbox for some reason.
I also think the Rampage looks great but also the colours on the Nickel work well.
Although I will never understand why Kookaburra don't have z butterfly style buckle/strap on the top pads like all the other brands. It makes pads fit and much more comfortable.
-
Really enjoying the simplified grading structure, with a 2.0 mapping to a Grade 2 etc. Makes it so easy to understand what you're getting.
Liner on the Kahuna Pro pads looks interesting, too
-
Also, they've added 'Alternative Willow' to the Junior ranges which doesn't appear to be Kashmir. Canadian? Serbian?
-
Did kookaburra run out of stickers on the rear of the rampage ? Looks absolutely dreadful
-
Are they still doing round faces and oval handles across the range as they did last year?
-
My wife’s comment,” the players are hardly inspiring young girls to join a team. Where’s the joy ?!”

Liner/inner is the same as last years, but in a distressed look this season. Also similar inner for the rest of the kahuna range.

Please share @Six Sixes Cricket as I want one of each...even though I am a weakling and they will be far too heavy for me!!
I need one of each in my life, just to really complete me :)

Not in the shop today, but I will post the prices tomorrow for you 👍
-
Are these still made by SG?
if yes then why not go for SG at half the price ;)

Because that wouldn't have shiny new Kookaburra stickers, and if I get a Kahuna I'll be able to bat just like Keaton Jennings... ;)
-
Ok, have been emailed the price list.......
big Kahuna will be £165 posted uk, and Ghost Obscene will be £135 posted Uk
-
Big kahuna would be interesting as price is relatively low
If can find a great pick up one that picks lighter than static weight
Don't know the heritage of big kahuna...
-
£165 for a "grade 4" and £135 for a "grade 5"
It doesn't seem long ago these were the prices of the top end offerings... How times have changed! :(

Absolutely crazy

Ahh interesting
India is the best bat for bats now .

I remember picking out a first generation Big Kahuna (grade 1 I think) in the local Intersport... £100, and getting my dad to spend that much took some serious persuading!

What do you mean?
These Indian made kookaburra bats are great? Or that you can get better value bats that are also made in India?

I was looking for a decent profile for my next ROBINSONS SPORTS custom bats, guess what, rampage it is ;)
Lovely shape
-
Rampage looks nice
What I meant was yeah rampage and KB is made in India but has UK prices
So India better money wise buying Indian prices
-
anyone else slightly disappointed with the ghost softs?
love the updated bat (mainly stickers) but not a fan of the gloves! don't like the two sausage two split finger design!
never been a big fan of the UK pads mainly because my aus ones are so nice!
-
Personally the aussie softs look so much better, think i'll wait until the GCCC sale in Feb/March and stock up!
-
Just saw this on social media - the 'Nickel'... nice! Modern or retro though? Bit like the old Gold Crown front sticker (big old bird)!

The inconsistent branding does my nut in.
-
Would appear that Jos is in fact using the Kahuna stickers this season instead of the Rampage ones which some thought would be the case
-
He's advertising Kahuna on the Kook website

I think it was RichyReed who thought he was gonna use the Rampage.
If you look in the Kook 2019 catalogue Jos is also in the Rampage gear too

Yep my mistake, when skipping through the catalogue I saw Jennings with the Kahuna then Jos with the Rampage range. I didn't spot Jos with the Kahuna on the first page :D
-
Maybe he'll use the Kahuna in the longer stuff and rampage in the short forms of the game?
-
Does anyone else think Kook have lost their way with kit in the past year or so? Out of the big three, GM and GN just seem a much better proposition in my eye...
Their bags are top notch though.

shame none of these ever reach the uk

id def have the camo one

Genuine question - Do many people actually still buy Kookaburra? Every clearance sale shops have appears to be Kookaburra stock and they never seem to be seen when playing anymore.
-
Kookaburra's UK figures look pretty healthy, other brands less so. Perhaps the forum isn't representative of the wider public.
-
Love the softs never used the bats!
They get less hype than legends but imo just as good and look better!! Especially when they get that lovely ripple!

Funny that as. I have always found the softs to be rubbish especially the gloves. Bats however have been pretty good although never used one for a long period of time only the odd net and then sold on as i cant be a FKW due to the softs being uncomfortable and poorly fitting.

love the stuff, been a FKW for years, using the ghost pro pads and gloves from last year with a blaze 2000 bat. cant fault any of the recent bats I have had, the original ghost and bubble remakes are some of the best ive ever used.
wasn't a fan of the over concaving a few years back but they seem to have moved on from that quickly

I've got some Aussie ghost pro players that are outstanding and used kahuna pads as a junior (may also have another pair of kook pads on the way too)
Compared to the slazenger and Newberry ones I've had in between I won't use anything else
Also have UK ghost pro gloves which are excellent have h4l customs (first version) that don't get a look in anymore
-
Kookaburra gloves are the best I have used so far. The UK Ghost Pros are fab - especially the colour way. Miles ahead of GM / GN.

how do you find the neoprene wrist strap?
i used them all last season and still undecided the fit and feel is incredible but i bought wrist bands to use with them in the end
-
Fine. I had one of my best ever seasons and at no time did I become exasperated by the neoprene. Even despite the heat I only changed gloves once or twice all year.
-
Best bat I ever had was a Gold Crown yonks ago, lovely stick that could send a well timed push careering to the boundary.
These days they seem a bit steady, but still pretty solid bats nonetheless - see plenty of them up here.
-
are these the uk bats or the au ones?

do you think kookaburra will be releasing this range? or just changing the stickers for the WC

Recently bought a Rampage 4.0 having never been a big fan of kook bats since I snapped one when I was 14. Currently knocking it in but seems responsive and the shape is perfect for me as player. Will hopefully be able to offer a review in due time.
My first impression is just a change of stickers for the WC.
