The new Kookaburra bat models for 2013 will be the Menace and Ricochet.  The Blade and Rogue are being dropped.  The Kahuna and Recoil are retained, but there will be some graphical changes on each...

The main changes across the range are bigger edges.

That's all I know for now.  Will find out more a week on Thursday, at the Twickenham Cricket Show!

I really wish big brands, especially kookaburra and gray nicolls would stop concentrating on massive edges, on one or two of their models yes but doing it for the whole range, I just don't like it.

Great info Paul, did you see the range too?

Got some pics today of the GM range , they've gone all big edge.

Out of all the big brands I find kookaburras range to be all very similar. For instance all Of GM's bats are completely different in shape, I can never tell the difference with Kooks.

Excited for GM's I don't want to be excited about them because I'll want to buy once lol

Not yet, just had a phone call from my rep.  Probably won't get to see them in the flesh until Twickenham.  I hope thin edged bats will still exist in 2013!

Those names are crap!

Ricochet... really? as in off a massive edge onto my stumps... Not sure about that or the menace... If thats the trend im calling the next bat i design the Thug.

The rogues only been out five minutes, so is this just another... same bat new name? as the old one didnt sell very well?

[PedalsMcgrew]

Isn't the Ricochet the one that was named in a competition Kookaburra set up in the last year or so? I remember seeing some of the entries on here somewhere...

[FvanN]

Think I will stick to the manufactures on the forum..

Better quality and better service and massive price difference.. IMHO the 3 keys to a good brand..

[Bull9]

Glad they're keeping the Recoil, any pictures of the new ones?!

[Buzz]

will the menace be red and black, with a players model, a Dennis model and a gnasher model?

i was on the phone to talent cricket and the quantum is being dropped with the kaboom and david warner is going to spartan

[junter97]

Yes I know, the gray nicolls range as been out for a few weeks now I think. Not surprised about Warner to be honest, he's the kind of player spartan want. Wouldn't be surprised if he has already been approached by them to be honest.

Target audience there Buzz, but it made me giggle away! At least they didn't create the Bash St range i'd hate to see the "plug".
