I visited Kookaburra's warehouse today to handpick some of our 2014 stock bats as well as look after our pre-order customers who have jumped onto the Bubble.
Grabbed some fantastic bats, the guys at Kook were as friendly and helpful as ever. We were informed on arrival that we were the first retailer to visit and pick 2014 stock, some shops got their orders last week, but did not handpick. As a result i got first dibs on a number of previously unopened boxes and managed to pick up some screamers.
Didn't take loads of in depth pictures of the day, after all i'm there to pick bats, i don't want to take up the time of the guys at Kookaburra unnecessarily. But i do have a photo of some of the stock which i have taken back to the shop with me this evening, mostly forum pre-orders and the higher end stuff, along with a few lower end belters (these were much rarer than last year, so i'm glad i picked them out before anyone else) We have more stock bats on the way soon, and our bags, softs etc will arrive this week.
I think we can put one recent forum rumour to bed:
Pre-order customers, i will be in touch with you shortly.
More pictures of individual bats to follow, but first i'm off to McDonalds.
