BAT 43 - Kookaburra Rogue 650I think it's time to dust off the camera and take some pictures and get this topic going again! Sorry but it's been ages and I have lots and lots of bats which need to be listed on here!
I will start with a new arrival! The (long blade) Kookaburra Rogue 650. This was one of the bargain buys from ActiveInstinct online sale. I ordered a medium weight and it tips the scales at 2'9 exactly. The profile is nice - edges are not big (although the 'big edge' stickers tell you different) as the tape measure never lies! But the spine is ample and the initial response with a mallet seems promising but it's early days!
The blade is only 1cm or so longer so I'm looking forward to seeing how it differs from a SH for a reasonally tall bloike like myself. The pickup feels very nice and it actually feels well balanced and comfortable! I particularly like the way the edges are rounded off and flow into the rear of the bat, and the overall smoothness of it
The grains are very impressive indeed - around 11 and straight with no hint of heartwood to be seen. There is a small area of graping up by the front stickers but that's the only blemish on an otherwise very clean and sparkly blade. In fact, if the graping hadn't of been there, I suspect that this bat would have possibly ended up as a Rogue Players model, or close!! But non't take my word for it.....I shall let the pictures do the talking
