Any non concaved models or new shapes?


And more importantly, is the biggest kahuna back?

Yes there are new shapes for the new models added, not hugely concaved

For each model, they have matching gloves and pads in different qualities, made few construction changes to pads particularly

guess we'll never know - kookaburra don't seem too bothered about launches on a par with GN or GM.

GM win the sticker design battle for me - not a fan of that new Kahuna, I do like the Verve and Cadejo colours though.

Of the big three, I think I slightly prefer these to GM with Grays way back in third.  Its a nice but hardly revolutionary range...
