Kookaburra 2020
« on: October 18, 2019, 10:36:35 AM »
Here's the Kookaburra range for 2020 which should be launching on retailers soon (if not today). Also a Concept 20 bat to come.

Kahuna


Pace


Shadow


Ghost

Will share GM's pics when they properly launch in 10 days, keep an eye out for a return of an icon.

I like the new ranges, difficult so see what the bat profiles will be like but they haven't changed a lot from last season.

shame they haven't re-released a retro range, and hopefully the keeping gear is blue.

Aren’t those 4 bat profiles exactly the same?? Be a good way of cutting costs... just pick a sticker

Is it similar to the D** products? Is there really that much difference? 
I stupidly bought some new Kook pads at the start of the season and assumed they would be much lighter than my 20 years old ones from Newbery......  Actually about 20g difference ........
Seems the hugher levels of protection seems to come with additional weight.....  Oh well might get rid of a few pounds over the season when running i guess!

Similar but Poron can be bought on a roll rather than in sheets or as individual bespoke components and D3O are quite selective about who they work with (Obv I'm duty bought to say that as one of their partner brands and the only one in the cricket market :D)

Pad technology hasnt really changed that much as no one really gets injured by getting hit on them. The ones I designed back at Uni were aimed at the lightweight market to compete with the OBO (pre-dating their brand name change to Aero) P1;s and the Morrant Ultralight models. From memory they came in at about 625g each.

D3O® is now available off the shelf but expensive in compassion to other protection foams.

By this the mean a fat knob? Rather than any weighing

Yes, the top of the handle is oversized, no additional weight or tape added
