Cricket Bats > kookabura Cricket Bats

Advantages: Long lasting, light, kookaburra, kashmir willow
Disadvantages: hasnt got a big middle.

The Bat The Bat is a very good Bat. The middle is'nt very big, although when you hit it, boy, its beautiful. Its so natural and i would probably say when you hit the middle it is delicious. the bat is made of high quality kashmir willow, and because it is kookaburra you can bet that it was very well made. All bats are pre-knocked in, but kookaburra do recommend at least 1 hour of knocking in. Feel The bat feels very good. Its light and very manuverable. ...
...the only bad thing i could say about the feel, is that as soon as you dont hit the middle, you get that horrible feeling in your hands, which is not unusual, but it happend alot more with my kookaburra, compared to my new woodworm. Lastability this bat lasted me the best part of 2 full seasons, indoors and out and also in the nets. i play in my clubs 'a' team, so its not like the bowlers we play are all terrible. Saying this, my bat did brake and ... Read review

Advantages: Chunky, Light, A hitters delight
Disadvantages: Not for the defensive/classical player, bat-power comes too easily

...This was, unbelievably, my first Kookaburra bat of any description. It was purchased for me by a family member so I cannot honestly be sure of the cost of it but I knew from when I first picked it up that it was of good quality. Being a very aggressive player, I rely on the bats being chunky in order for them to be regularly hit for the maximum and this bat is definitely chunky alright. A common balancing problem is that a bat will be really chunky ...
...therefore a great thing for Kookaburra that the were able to make this a relatively light weight and easy pick up. A sign that the game is developing at a real pace. Ok so once you have enjoyed checking out the bats size and weight it is time to give it a go. Cue a trip to a net session, or a team traning session or for those crazy enough to do so, straight into a match situation. I personally prefer to try it out in the nets first. I found that ...

Advantages: great bat, you can hit the ball miles
Disadvantages: could be seen as quite heavy

...the back has a large slazenger panther which runs the length of the bat - this is black and has slazenger written all over it in shinny writing. It was handmade in England of natural willow and features a short handle design; but as I mentioned earlier you can buy bats in virtually any size. Of the 'V Series' you can get bats in V100, V200, V300, V400, V500, V600, V800 and V1200. Typically, the larger the number the heavier and more powerful the ...
...As cricket makes go Slazenger a relatively new - they haven't been around for as long as Readers or Gray-Nicholls for example. However, this hasn't stopped them from producing lots of top class equipment. As far as i'm aware they do every type of cricket equipment, but specialize in bats. I certainly have no complaints with the bat the I purchased and would definately buy a Slazenger again. ... Read review

All the Puma bats come in a series of grades, 5000, 4000 and 3000. Therefore, the ...
...of all the Puma bats is so high, this is like a high grade bat from any other producer. The Ballistic is characteristic for its thick edges and enhanced sweet spot, making it a bat for players of power rather than precision. The 4000 model is made from Grade 1 English willow, the highest you can get. The only thing that differs from the 4000 to the 5000 is that the 5000 is lighter pressed, and therefore has greater power. I plumped for the 2lb ... Read review

...is that it has a low middle. For people who don't know what that means, it is the part of the bat where the ball shud be aimed to be hit with as it is where the most wood is present. The reason why this isn't good is because pitches in uk are more bouncy and u will usually want a bat with a higher middle to make best contact. In Australia the ball tends to stay low and thats why a bat with a low middle is needed. these conditions have to be taken ... Read review
