Has it occurred to anyone Paul may have posted "I'm offended Chris would use that tone! I'll be dealing with him accordingly!" on the forum, after having said to Chris face to face - What are they on about now? For Christ's sake! I'll post something on there saying I've told you off to shut the whinging b****rds up, I'd leave them alone mate, not worth the hassle.

Paul and @chrisbd , I don't know why you bother. The post was perfectly reasonable, but you get some chaps on here who sit behind their keyboards bored at work pick posts apart for the sake of entertaining themselves. It's getting so boring to have to wade through pages and pages of your topics because the same old characters are whinging about nothing.

Anyway, on a lighter note Surrey kick of their T20 campaign on the 26th and I'm hoping you guys will still have a couple of these left so I can see for myself what all the fuss is about on my way to the Oval. Keep doing what you're doing.

@smilley792 , how was it? I haven't used mine yet.

34 of 19(was told 32 of 18 last night) first ball defend, second ball a bye, then 2 4s through cover, they put a man out so thought I'd try and clear him. He stood and watched as it sailed over his head.

Was pretty much clock face for rest of my innings, but did get a one bounce four through square leg when I just tried to flick it there!

It's certainly got a middle!

Chris, what are the prices on the 2 bats you have posted

chrisbd · « **Reply #96 on:** May 12, 2016, 03:39:35 PM »

All the Ghosts are priced at �199.99.

Please note these were the only 2'9 ones they had in the shipment at Kooks. Poor Paul had his scales out for over 200 bats only to get 2 in this weight! Thus they are the only ones we have!

chrisbd · « **Reply #97 on:** May 12, 2016, 03:46:20 PM »

One on the left has sold! Will get some 2'10 photos up now!

Take a look at these beauties. 2'10 all of them - but for me they pick up a touch lighter.

Supposedly Grade 3 willow? No way!

RoCo Da Pixie · « **Reply #99 on:** May 12, 2016, 04:40:50 PM »

They look good for Grade 3. But pricing seems steep for G3. However I think I am just a tight wad who moans at all prices these days when cricket gear is concerned.

chrisbd · « **Reply #100 on:** May 12, 2016, 04:57:07 PM »

I'd agree if we thought they were genuinely G3 - �200 can be a lot. But then we handpick ones which basically are G2 (I've seen G1 bats look worse than this), so we tend not to pay tooooo much attention to things like the official grading!

edge · « **Reply #101 on:** May 12, 2016, 05:01:04 PM »

Grading accurately has never been Kook's strength has it, lovely looking bats.

av8r · « **Reply #102 on:** May 12, 2016, 05:06:28 PM »

Could we say that the extra price compared to other grade 3 bats is for the "lighter clefts" that are probably used to make these huge full-profile bats? I mean there has to be something in there somewhere because I imagine light clefts are probably harder (no pun intended) to come by?

Alvaro · « **Reply #103 on:** May 12, 2016, 05:10:33 PM »

Stickers sell bats too...

chrisbd · « **Reply #104 on:** May 12, 2016, 05:13:18 PM »

Absolutely. I think the consistent size with which these come out is just absurd. Like I said before, every single one in 40mm plus! Ridiculous. And as you said, hardly any concaving either.

With regards to stickers - I think yes, up to a point. The classic example of this is the Blade. I love the look of the all black stickers, and it's got a nice full profile etc. However, it may be cheaper because of the clefts yes. The Blade 500 is a lot less than the Ghost 500 - reason being it is much smaller. (Yes, it's slightly fuller but even so!) So I broadly agree with both previous comments!
