JJB appear to have a stock of uniquely branded Kookaburra bats in terms of the number series.
Usually the base model of the Blade is "250", rather than the "300" they are selling here.

Do these have the bleached edges and backs?


Don't know quite which they are, but I did notice in my local JJB that there are two grades of calibre 2000. The 3 star is horrible painted and fake grains, the 4* looked nice natural willow. Not bad for £38.

been very tempted to buy the flare 303 from sports direct for £20 and sand down the painted area to see what's underneath.

i bought one as i thought i would take the risk - painted back, stuck on grains + horrendous pick up! tried to sell it on ebay but have decided to send it back for a refund as i would feel bad about someone buying something so horrible from me!

I'm sure i read somehwere on here that GM classes anything with heartwood as a really low grade and used it as a 303/404 etc, if thats the case there must be some beauts about for cheap.

I just picked up a 606 hero for not much and cant for the life of me see why it's grade 3 willow I've seen grade1/2 willow that is not as pretty and felt grade 1 bats that are not as responsive

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.
