Just picked up a 2016 Kahuna 900 at half-price - now I know why.  Assuming it's just a sticker change, I can live with that for a season.  I very rarely look at Grade 1 or 2 willow so was happy enough.

Sorry I didn't go custom by the way, but playing cricket in 3rd or 4th XI I can't justify the expense...
I've had a few quality Kahunas off Vitas over the last few years, some others I've seen can be a lot more concaved for similar weights, so performance can vary, but the ones I've had have been guns. Hope yours goes well.
Custom doesn't have to be expensive I had a quality custom X3 off Redink a year or 2 back, and just put another order in.

saw that yesterday. Why would they mention VERY HEAVY. That itself will rule out so many buyers. It will be nice to get a big T20 bat but if its 2-14 and above then whats the point

I'm sure @smilley792 will enlighten you :)

Its basically a relaunch of the Big Kahuna and Biggest Kahuna range, which were always very big, heavy bats.

Why would anyone want a bat lighter than 2.14????

If they sell anything like as well as the original big Kahunas Kook will do nicely! And if they go like the originals then count me in, best performing bat I've ever had.

The pricing is a bit extreme and obscene as well as the names...  :D

Custom doesn't have to be expensive I had a quality custom X3 off Redink a year or 2 back, and just put another order in.

I decided, you'll be pleased to hear, that I wasn't 100% happy with the Kook - 'Twas a nice bat but the pick up wasn't perfect and I just decided I NEED to go custom for my next bat and to support the vendors on here.

To that end, I have just purchased some B&S softs and I'll be sorting my bat choice out soon enough. I need to get over my "all matching gear" OCD and this is the season...

Note these are rrp, so more likely to be 250 and 180 in shops, and if you order from jake @Vitas Cricket in the vitas prenorder! You may get a discount on that.
