Whats the price of this Kudo2?

The Kudos2 was even less advanced than the Panache and the stickers haven't even arrived yet! This was a pretty meaty one we found in the Player grade.  Regarding the different pressing, I felt they certainly tapped up incredibly well and were fairly soft.  I wouldn't say there was an obvious difference, though...






All the prices are listed earlier in the thread, but I can tell you that it's £299.99

Is it me or does that spine look like it isn't straight? It looks like it tails off to the left hand side.

It might just be an illusion with the grains running off that way, I can definitely seen what you mean though

Very M&H Original High/Harlequin!

Indeed, a bit like the GT too...  :) Having said that, the profiles on the Panache Player bats are slightly different, which I thought was interesting!

Funky pressing techniques, imaginative pricing, wonky spines and differing profiles within the one model... It's all happening at Newbery! :D

That light Tour does look interesting though...

Hadn't even noticed that - I was spending more time admiring the chunkiness of the toe! I am pretty sure it isn't really wonky though, but will double check when we get the bats next week...

Why has the Panache got two different looking sets of stickers?

I've noticed that on a few handmade bats that have passed through my hands. I've just seen it as the pod-shaver being right handed.

I don't think the pro's would even notice the difference.

Do you mean different fonts for the word 'Panache'? I only noticed this for the first time this morning - don't know what's going on there really! I will have to ask Newbery.

I'm glad it's "Professionally pressed" wouldn't want any old amateur pressing my cricket bats.

The Kudos2 is also professionally pressed, like we do for our pro players, so you can feel the difference when you step up to the crease.

Not so revolutionary then, just what they did for pro bats all along

Maketing gimmick, not worth an extra £100 on the Kudos but each to their own, in sure they'll sell.

I wish I'd come up with that sales line. Has anyone seen the process on how it differs or do they press them softer for instant use. One thing for sure, Murray Goodwin hasn't seen the price tag before the promo, otherwise the gt335 would be going for a refurb instead!!
