Afternoon all,
When I was younger, the very first bat I had was an Open Championship with a nylon coating. It was rank but hit me a lot of runs in primary school cricket. When I joined my first club at 10, my dad brought me a new bat - A Kookaburra Bubble Plus. I loved that bat. Never knew what knocking in was, never oiled it but I loved it. Hit a lot of runs but, funnily enough, the toe snapped off of it. Can't imagine why...
When surfing this forum, I found this. I know it isn't the same model, it's the top of the range from the model brought out a few years later but its everything I fell in love with - and it is the best condition one I have seen in my time searching.
I have refurbed it - to be honest, just needed a careful sand, oiling (...and it needed A LOT of oil!), waxing, shoo goo, grip change and a full-length helicopter facesheet. A few hours work max.
It is not the biggest bat you have ever seen - 2lb 8oz fully dressed. 20mm edge, 50mm spine and NO concaving - it is actually slightly convex. However, it is just everything you want from the Bubble which was so widely used in the 90s and early 2000s.
Just hit it will the mallet - Good solid performance. Reminds me you don't need massive edges.
I thought I would post pictures for the rest of the Bubble lovers out there! Enjoy
