New Kookaburra
« on: December 11, 2011, 07:29:07 PM »

Just received a replacement for a replacement of an original Kahuna 1000 which I had in June this year. Original bat was a gun, but literally snapped in half in at the start of August - replacement broke at the splice in September.

This new one has eight very straight grains, and has 12 and E stamped on the shoulder. Just wondering if anyone knows what these stamps mean? I would have thought the 1000 would have more grains - just a bit concerned that's a bit of dodgy stickering has taken place....

That looks like a very nice piece of willow to my eyes! Stickers look kosher too........

The more I look at it the more I praise.

My mate had Blade 950 and it was worst looking than Asad's 150 models!
