Kookaburra CCX 900 bat
« on: October 22, 2011, 10:33:38 AM »
Recently purchased on ebay from Lorimers. One of a number of this model being auctioned and fetching between GBP 100 - 130 approximately. Advertised as 2lb 12oz, picks up well, may be a little lighter than that.

Thank you for your comments. There were at least 10 of this model sold by Lorimers, this I felt was one of the better cosmetically and was auctioned later in the batch. 2 grains of heartwood on leading edge of RH batsman, one thin one on the opposite edge. 13 grains in total.

There is a couple of Long Blades available on ebay now, price at GBP 100+ already, with over a day to run.
 
Have subsequently purchased on ebay the CCX Players Edition gloves from Lorimers too.

I'm curious as to your thoughts on pickup. I find mine to be rather odd.

Is yours a LB Tim?
I've found mine different, but pleasantly so.

Additional photographs showing the profile. Whilst the pick up is unique to the shape of the bat, it's not an issue for me.

Acquired some matching kit at good prices due to the CCX range being discontinued.
CCX900 batting pads 2010 for GBP 40.
CCX Player issue gloves 2011 also for GBP 40.
