They aren't the new blades, the new kookaburra gear is on their website. Most kook pros pretty much use the same sausage finger design as last years Ice 850's. They just change the colours and keep them in line with the store gloves to make it look like they are acutally using the store gloves.

Case and point, here are the store Beast kookaburra gloves on their website from last year in aus

and here is what Brad Haddin uses

They have the same colours but clearly the ones haddin uses are sausage finger and not split finger. Ice was the range that had the same desing as the pros use, which has now changed to the rogue. But other than that, the rest are split finger and the pros just use a sausage finger glove with the colours in the same spot, which to me is very misleading, especially when they say the choice of Ricky Ponting, Brad Haddin, Simon Katich, Phillip Hughes etc... When they never actually use that gear

langer is correct, i think aidy1098 had a pair of kook pro edition gloves which are on a forum thread somewhere. sausage finger style in the same colour scheme as the ones available to us mortals.

To me, the Ice/Rogue are the only Kookaburra gloves which are the same as the pros. Obviously we cant really tell if the gloves are pittard or sheepskin or something else but from the rest of the glove, it is the only glove that has the same sausage finger design as the pros use, the rest are split finger gloves. The only kook player I know who actually uses the same as the store bought gear is AB De Villiers

I have found these for £30 on Vsports- Is it worth it?

They seem to have all the credentials of the pro version apart from the pittards palm.

Morgan uses split blade 950, well that's what he used last years.

Correct me if I'm wrong
