It's not cheap i guess but the bigger brands never are. No way I'd find a deal like that in any of the sports shops in my area.

Surprised to see it still listed tbh as they told me they only had the one in stock.

Is a bit pricey! Could have had mine for £130 posted!!
£170 is ok but you could have done better!

Kind of - nowhere near as many soft goods as bats.

I got my Razor for £94 with next day postage, admittedly in an incredible sale...

Wow, sounds like i've gotten a raw deal, lol. Where'd you get that one choppy? Yours is a SH isn't it Petehosk so would have been no good for me (I've got the Long Blade coming)

Tbh looking at some of the redbacks on the forum I'm tempted to return the Kook and get one of them.

To be honest if I were going to spend around £170 on a bat, I would go for a Redback, SAF and one of the other custom bats on here!!
You can get an absolute blaster for that price fella!  8)

does sound pretty steep for an of the shelf bat that has been knocked out... for £10 extra u can look at a whole heap of smaller brands top end bats as Mr Hosk mentioned above that have had the TLC put into them to ensure they are high quality!

Given that Pete has the most experience of buying bats of anyone on the forum (in the world?) as a punter I would really consider taking his advice.

To be frank about it, an off the shelf Kookaburra would be a decent enough bat if you didn't know any better, and I'm sure it would be a fairly decent stick.
BUT I have a couple of Kookaburra bats, and they are nice enough.....but if I compare them to some of my Newberys, Redback, Talismans, Black Cats, even Lekkas, then the Kookaburras feel ordinary!! Just my opinion, but I am pretty sure others have experienced the same!

Cheers for the advice guys. You've gotta admit though petehosk, the blade razer you've put the pics up of does look kind of nice.

Bagged mine from Gilmour sports, great sale. Also picked up an Cannon 808 for £48! Sold it on straight away though as it was too heavy....

OK, so the Kook has arrived and has 10 evenly spaced grains but has quite a large blemish about half way up the blade which i'm guessing is what stopped it from being a 'Runner'. The pick-up and bat speed you can get is really quite impressive while the profile is pleasantly substantial (serious concaving though).

People who've had experince of both Kooks and Redback, what are the recomendations?
