Those edges look a lot nicer than 'BIG EDGE' written all over them.

I could cut myself shaving on those edges. Who wants to bet they are concaved to hell with a round handle?

The UK range for 2014 has the same edge stickers as these bats.

The zenon profile looks like a toned down menace. Slights budge on the edge for the middle.




What's wrong with concaving and round handles??

Generally all my bats  are round handles. Agree kook could do a fuller profiled bat in there range, but I, assuming there selling loads of concaved bats with slight profile differences, so have chose to co tinie said theme.


Both flat faces too, it seems kook are moving away from the round face completely.

Covering quite a lot of the periodic table now across various brands. Xenon, Lithium, Argon, Cobalt, Chromium to name a few.

I suppose some of the elements won't have the required appeal. The Kookaburra Bismuth or the GM Seaborgium don't sound as cool.

What about using this version of the periodic table?

The kahunas from this year and last year aren't as heavily concaved as they were in 2011/2012 and see like quite a big profile. Personally I'm a fan of kookaburra bats, and there softs are always top quality to match

You guys can see concaving in those pics? Wow........

All i can see is the Raptor has a lower middle and the Xenon looks higher.

Hopefully these have a fuller profile. Here's to hoping...
