It is just a bit of a shame. They could have done something interesting-as they did in 2015-but they seem to have recidivistically reverted/retreated  to their old ways of change the colours and call it new.

Just the 3 ranges this year? Only saw I cadejo this season and no instincts, maybe there is some profile differences in actual bats but agree look quite similar except Kahuna still has that lovely full spine into the toe.

The cadejo and the thin edge bat probably didn't sell. Hence the reversal and just chuck out 3 highly concaved bats again.



I do wonder which one will be available in heavy weights!

I feared they would struggle when they announced the instinct and cadejo were to be endorsed by Ambrose and Carbs respectively. Good players but hardly headliners compared to de Villiers, Buttler etc who endorsed their respective ranges.

These are generic images with the stickers put over the top or am I the only one who has picked this up?  They put the bird in the middle of the splice!

Look a bit closer pal, they're different bats. There's a blemish on the back and edge of the kahuna, a proninent grain on the back of the verve While the onyx is clean willow.
They look like prototype bats to me rather than a photoshopped bat with stickers added

Yer I sort of suspected it was more just to show off the design of the stickers etc as oppose to the actual bat shapes.

Basically what I am trying to say here lol!

Thanks

The onyx is the heavy one in the Aus range.

The bats also aren't the same shape... This is one of the biggest cricket companies in the world we're talking about here, they're not so amateurish as just to grab some stock bats, sticker them up and post them online as a launch photo!

I really liked the Kook Midas colour range - it just needed a traditionally shaped bat to meet that classic look and feel.

Let's hope that they reintroduce the Midas in 2017 with a full profiled, rounded face mid-high middle bat.

the grips on each bat model seems to be different; the profile for the 3 looks the same to me apart from onyx which has a semi oval handle..

There's more coming.

That has to be the Bubble on the left

Yes looks like the Bubble II a la Chris Rogers which in shape bears little if any resemblence to the Bubble apart from the name.  Like the Purist F2 which looked little like the orignal Purist.  The black one looks a bit like the Kook 1890 which a couple kiwis used last years.  And the white looking one looks like last years Aus Patriot.  That being said I will probably get none of them right!
