Yes, it makes even some other sub-£400 boutique bats seem better value all of a sudden.

Be interesting to see how much the price reduces. The big brands tend to start high and reduce steadily throughout the season, whilst the custom brands have a shallower curve, if any.

Uncle Tony is ready and waiting, he has just finished up a wonderful Insignia for a forum member. Pics to come soon.

As for the Pro Players, it wasn't mentioned much by the Kookaburra reps at the trade show, and i don't recall seeing a sample. We have ordered one though. Much like with the GN Legend, there is always someone out there who decides this is the bat for them, and some people are lucky enough for money to be almost no object.

I am sure it will be absolutely stunning to look at, and I am quite excited to handpick it. Is it value for money? Personally i feel no but that isn't the thing that every customer wants. Some want the exclusivity of a very rare bat, others want to say 'I own the most expensive bat in the range' - each to their own.

Equally it may sit on our shelves for a long time in which case it will go on sale and someone will bag a healthy discount

quite a lot of money tied up if it does sit on the shelf for a while!

huge amount of money for a bat
but like jake says, there are those out there who are willing to spend high amounts on their bats. so defo each to their own.

just frustrating that manufacturers are creating "these high end models", limiting them and then charging such high prices. especially so, given this very same willow would have been available in previous years at reasonable prices.

As a standalone number, it is a fairly large amount of money. In the context of our 2015 Kookaburra stock order, it isn't very much at all.
