Need help choosing between 2 kookaburra bats please. Pics included.
« on: March 12, 2014, 11:35:42 AM »
I was after a new bat and for some reason want to get a Kookaburra Kahuna bat. I have seen two kahuna, one is a 1250 brand new bat and one is a kahuna players bat which has been used lightly and needs to be refurbished with new stickers, toe guard and grip.
It's not allowing me to post pictures so follow the link below and check all pictures remember the one with stickers is 1250 kahuna and the non sticker is players kahuna, please help me decide as both look good and the price range for both are similar so don't really mind which one to get. Many thanks.

If you don't mind telling us how much are they?

Both look good but I bet for the same money you might be able to get something custom made to the way you want it:) or even one of Asads Uzi sports bats which a really nice.

Around £150.

Not really after a custom made bat.

I would have definitely preferred Players model but there's too much concaving on it. 1250 looks a decent bat as well and with lesser concaving (from what I can see), good finish and size looks a better option in these 2.

I've had both in the past and the players' has significantly more concaving - it comes down to personal preference on whether that's a good or bad thing.

Not after a custom-made bat?  Stick around on here for a while fella, you will be!

Go for the 1250, looks like a bargain for 102 quid!

Look a lot better than that 'Players'.

I would go for players . But again as suggested you can contact brands like aldred, bb and you will get top quality bats in that price range.

1250 would be my choice in those two. But as jamielsn15 mentioned stick around here for a while and you will be have overwhelming choices.

The kahuna 1250 has been sold. What do you guys think shall I go for the players kahuna. Does it look authentic as I don't know much about kookaburra bats.

Can you put a link to the players model where it's being sold? As I saw it on eBay a while ago

I also saw it on ebay but it is of ebay as the bidding time finished but didn't get sold. I got in touch will the seller who sent me the pictures and willing to sort me a good deal. But as it's without stickers I'm not sure if it's authentic as i don't know much about kookaburra bats. Also has the players label near handle. Also how does the bat willow look it, he said it's been oiled and used in nets. What do you guys think it doesn't look a refurbished used bat does it.

I have not used a kook players bat but I believe all kook players models have 'players' engraved on the back at the toe.
