Pictures of Kookaburra Blade anyone?
« on: September 03, 2010, 08:53:08 PM »
I was wondering if anyone had a Blade(preferably higher range and heavy) from the 2010 range and is willing to upload various photos.

I'm thinking of getting a Solitaire made from the Blade shape and there aren't really any great pictures on the internet anywhere. Thanks.

Nice mate, how have you got on with it? I haven't used one yet, but picked plenty of them up - they're so light and you get a fair bit of wood. How heavy is this one?

It was 2'9. Very good pickup but passed it on as I didn't really use it.
Too many other bats! And prefer a slightly heavier bat. If it had of been 2'10 or more then I would have had a decent go!
A couple of people had a little go in the nets and it played well for a light bat!  8)

Yeah I'm planning to get it made in a similar shape to the Blade, but a bit heavier, maybe something like a 2lb12

I thought I may be unmanly enough, but have to try all weights!
It's like using a matchstick but pie-eaters like me are not suited to the lighter breed of stick!

Thats a cheeky like Puma Gilchrist you have there Rajesh!
