Kookaburra Ghost Cricket Bat
« on: January 24, 2016, 09:31:33 PM »
Whilst at a net session toady down at Redbourne (choice cricket) I went into the shop to buy a new ball.

Whilst browsing the shelfs I saw a kook ghost 500 and I was baffled how much of a beast it is.

I was just wondering if anyone has one or used one and is it any good for the retail price of £180

Have been thinking exactly the same recently so just ordered myself one from VKS!! 2lb 8oz which I think is pretty rare and my perfect weight so I am hoping for a cracker.

I bought one but haven't used it yet, but its a real beauty, such a light pick up too. Can't wait for nets to start.

My bat arrived yesterday having been posted by VKS on Monday - great service. I had only contacted them late on Sunday night about getting a light Ghost and despite the time of day they sent me pictures and answered my questions really promptly.

It's just 2lb 8oz, has very straight grains and picks up really well. I love the oval handle which is really unusual for Kookaburra bats but works very well. The size is unbelievable - 42mm edges at thickest point and still 20mm at the toe. Big spine. It has very little concaving, hardly any really, and responds well off the mallet.

The stickers are just great and give it a classy, classical look despite the modern features such as big edges and flat face. It will probably be the last bat I buy before the 2016 season starts but what a bat! Initial impressions are as good as any bat I have had up to now.
