Kookaburra Instinct 500 - £67 on Amazon
« on: January 14, 2016, 01:03:36 AM »
Hi All,

Just ordered a couple of Kookaburra Instinct 500s on Amazon for £67.

I'm hedging my bets slightly, as might keep one, both or neither!

Seems like a good deal - I'll post pics on here when they arrive tomorrow.

Currently have a decent GM Mogul, so looking for something different as an option/spare. Anyone tried an Instinct on here?

Thanks

Ben

At that price aslong as they arent planks its not a bad deal for a net/wet weather bat, especially when theyre retailing on other sites for £180+

Yep - that's what I thought too. Seems an OK bat for a good price.

Im a little more sceptical of shop bought bats (well brands like sports direct anyway) as ive actually seen soemone pull a stickered face of a bat before. Think youre onto a steal though, if i hadn't of got a new b3 id be all over this too!

£44 on SD's site but interestingly they note sizes available as being 5,6, Harrow and Small Mens but list other bat sizes as Short Handle.

Small Mens is the size between Harrow and SH - like an Academy bat.

You can get stickered bats from pro direct plus many others places.

It's the manufacturers that make them, not sports direct(well apart from the slaz ones)

I bought an nb from pro direct described as grade 3 and had a grain sheet on it.

I believe some have bought some ss bats from online stockists that were both grain sheeted and painted.

I get its out love for a lovely looking bat thats caused it to happen but cant help to think how many people have thought theyre getting inch perfect grains at a reduced price.

I don't think anybody fussy about their bats is buying the cheap models with the sheets on anyway... Must just be cheaper than the old painted fabric stuff from kids bats back in the day.
