Just looking at the finished bats in the shop.

The ck22 in the pic is 2lb 8oz

I was really impressed with Kookaburra's new range...

They have a new bat called the Verve... Anyone who buys this will be a lucky man!

IJC, are there differences in shape with Kook this year? Kinda tired of the big edge, ultra concave

Paul, good morning I hope this finds you well?

I know I shouldn't but are Spartan present? It is a bit like a moth to the light but I am really drawn to the new yellow and blue MC LE pads.

They are indeed, and their new range is massive and includes new shoes, helmets, training aids and even cool boxes!

Yes, four bats (+ the Bubble), all with different shapes.  None of them have much concaving and one, in particular, has modest edges...

Any news about Willostix? Did not see any comments about their products. Are they present or absent?

[iand123]

Willostix aren't at the show. I haven't spoken to either of the Andy's for a while. They were planning a re-vamp to their website but its all gone quiet on that front for now

[avkrish]

Saw in their website that they are opening a new shop. So was expecting them to be present at the show too with some new products.

On the edge of my seat to see profiles of the new Kahuna

Can just  about make it out.

On the edge of my seat to see profiles of the new Kahuna

Kahuna profile is very similar to this year, maybe slightly less concaving.

The Verve is a full profile with big(ish) edges, Insticnt is a full profile with small edges and a high spine, looks a little like  Toblerone from the toe up. The Cadejo is huge, big edges, full profile with 2 very shallow and narrow scoops.

Cadejo a kind of evolved Ridgeback then?

Cadejo a kind of evolved Ridgeback then?

Yes i suppose, but i would say the Cadejo is not as noticeable as the Ridgeback shape. The grooves really are thin and quite shallow.

I think that's what the marketing dept had in mind with the name, at least:
