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.
Cheers Jake, all with the round kahuna style handles?
 
'kookaburra Toblerone', will these only be sold in duty free?  :)

Kahuna, Verve and Instict have round handles (Instict listed as a 'skinny' handle & Verve has a layer of cushioning under the grip)

Cadejo has an oval handle.

Puma have 2 ranges this year - EvoSpeed and EvoPower.

Power has pretty much the same profile as this years Platinum with the fuller shape and Speed is like the Chromium. In terms of looks, the stickers are a little simpler and if I'm not mistaken the Power bats and softs have a navy blue trim.

It also looks a bit like the H4L Tempo...

Posted quite a few more photos on our Twitter and Instagram today, so hopefully most of you have seen them.  If not, I am happy to email some over to those who ask.

I am delighted to announce that we will be stocking Chase bats and equipment as of next month.  We may even give some GM gear a go (but not the bats, of course!)  :) The Original Duffle bag is a very impressive duffle, I have to say.  I actually like their bats too (some nice shapes and pick-ups in there, and I prefer the decals to previous year's), but they remain steadfast about the hand-picking, which is a shame...  :(

Great news about stocking chase, they are too quality bats from the ones I've used.
Can't say I'm a massive fan of the new branding (I prefer the old 175 style stickers) as it looks a bit too samey to me, but the quality is definitely there!

The Chase range hasn't changed much for 2015, but I have been a fan of the brand for a while, and from what I have seen, I agree about the quality.

Also, their FLC gloves are definitely up there as one of my favourite batting gloves at the moment! Ridiculously comfortable and look stunning too!  :)

thanks for the info. I am assuming it's the same range as the Australian market then?

How is the Puma range?

I quite liked it... One of the bats wasn't really concaved and the quality for the price on the softs and shoes was very impressive.  Their top end wicket keeping gloves, for example, come with a free pair of padded chamois inners, which I felt was a nice touch as they are already competitively priced on their own...
