Title: Visit to Kookabura Factory
Post by: Uzi Sports on February 10, 2011, 11:53:16 PM
Visited Kooks factory yesterday, spent around 4 to 5 hours and well looked after by the people at the warehouse. pretty much they left me to go through all the boxes and at the end picked lot more than my original order
Here are some of the bats

I am going to have to go down to this shop Asad, ordering off you on here for those softs isn't going to cut the mustard by the looks of it. Plus I could be tempted by one of those kooks!!

OR are you up in Birmingham soon?

All Kookaburra's are Made in India.

Kookaburra is Australian based so I don't think they even have a factory in England.

The Kahuna 1000's are only available in junior sizes.

The Biggest Kahunas are massive. Very tempted to have one myself just for fun in a Captain Caveman stylee!
