Looking at the moden Kooks, I really struggle to see the difference inthe profile to the Kahuna, Impulse and the middle bat which name i've forgotten cos it's on page 1 of this thread :)

I know there is a difference there, but it's not obvious to my eye.



To the eye they do look similar, but reading bumph and rebooking I believe. The kahuna and impulse are the same shape/style (low middle concaved) but one has the "flat" face and one has a conventional face.

The ricochet has A high middle, flat face and similar concaving.





Thank god for the bubble with a non concaved kahuna(although it says slight concaved which makes me believe the light and more dense bubbles will be concaved like the rest, doh)

The uk branding of the bubble is so much better than the Aus.

I agree, i had a huge smile when our Kook rep said 'and here is the Bubble' whilst pulling one of those beauties out of the bag. I would have been so dissapointed with a Ricochet carrying the word 'Bubble' on the sticker.

What where the kahunas like that he showed you? Did they have the same amount of concaving as this years?

I was half tempted to get an Aus version. But now seeing this I'm gonna have to earn some brownie points with the missus. I'm back in the uk for 4 weeks at Xmas! Perfect timing!!

YYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Love it!

Jake, there will definitely be an order coming your way for the Bubble (I assume the Legend is Grade 1?  Can't justify stretching to the players' before Xmas!)

Agree the Bubble softs and the Impulse softs are amazing - there's a decision to be made there....

The Powerspot is going to have to wait!

Impluse looks nice, although I expect the Bubble to be more of an impulse buy.  Not much point debating the differences in shape with these bats, as there rarely is any difference in shape with Kookaburra.  Nice to see the Bubble have what looks to be a slightly lower middle and less concaving though - I guess it's just a bigger edged version of the original?

Wow they really have bought back the bubble in all its glory good to see from kookaburra after some lacklustre bats over the recent years. Would love one, Jake  does the bubble still have the edges in the bubble or not it is just hard to see from the catalogue.
