Basically i played, possibly, the best drive shot i had ever played but it didnt sound what it was suppose to sound like, looked at the bat and it was a goner. Needed to have another bat sent to kookaburra for a refurb and they said send them this one and repaired it free of charge. However, no gurantees as the damage was very pretty bad and i dare not use it with a hard ball. its good for back yard cricket though

I have my GM Purist II taped back into 1 piece and use it with a tennis ball in the garden now lol.

I have one of the Beast Graphite bats - very arty indeed on the back of the bat.

Love it

[Ussie]

I love the Graphite bats. I have all 4 of the graphites. Kahuna ICON, The Beast (2 of these), Diablo DM and Hurricane Genesis (2 of these) (page 45 on your kit topic)

Conterary to popular belief, they dont improve the performance of the bat. each bat has a peak period of performance, the graphite backing enchances the duration of this period so the peak period lasts longer. Its no different to applying an anti scuff sheet to prolong the life of a bat. I belive they were banned because they were a major step forward and woul make kookaburra a monopoly due to patents etc

i think there gimmicky crap.

I admire your love of sg cricket though and all they do.

[Ussie]

lol thats another way of looking at it but they do work due to the physics envloved when a player hits a bat etc

whats sg cricket?

[Ussie]

are kookaburra linked to sg cricket (may be a dumb question) lol

[procricket]

yes mate they are Kookaburra

[Howzat]

Maybe what Dave is trying to say is SG make Kookaburra's bats

[jonpinson]

Nice bats Ussie, you've decided what works for you and stuck to it. Don't worry about those who only have nasty things to say. 

[procricket]

Yes sorry Leo yes that what i was trying to say mate sg make Kook gear mate and make it very well

Jon please stop the born again Christian stuff or your name might change to Cliff Richards....

We all like different kit it looks ok but sorry if we do not all like the same things

[Ussie]

Thats ok, im a pretty chilled out relaxed kind of guy. Besides, i didnt even think someone had said anything nasty

I have the graphite bats for collection mainly as they are becoming rarer to find. The fact that i have all four makes it all that more special for me

[Alvaro]

Nice bats Ussie, particularly that Kahuna.
