Kookaburra Kahuna 900 Cricket Bat ()
Kookaburra Kahuna 900 Cricket Bat () The Iconic Kahuna cricket bat has been the spearhead of the Kookaburra range for the last 13 years and is the classic Kookaburra bat shape. Developed initially in consultation with Ricky Ponting and used by Martin Guptill & AB de Villiers TheKookaburra Kahuna 900 Â cricket bat, has been handmade using premium Grade 2 unbleached English willow. Sweet Spot Mid Blade (215mm to 235mm from toe) Edge Profile Big Edge' Square (mm) Face Profile Flat 'Power Plus' Face Spine Profile Super Spine (62 to 67mm) Scallop Slight Concave (3-5mm) Bow Mid/Low Blade (mm) Handle Round Powerdrive Grip Players EDGE PROFILE Massive âBig Edgeâ profile which increases from the shoulders and maximises at the sweet spot, generating supreme balance with an extended sweet spot that covers the entire width of the blade. SPINE PROFILE Kookaburraâs âSuper Spineâ profiles adopt traditional shaping characteristics which operate in unison with the âBig Edgeâ profile of the bat â creating a huge apex, with unrivalled amounts of power throughout the length of the blade and exceptional âpick upâ. SWEET SPOT The position in the blade where performance is maximised. Kookaburra bats are engineered to maximise the size of the sweet spot, allowing the middle of the bat to be spread further across the blade meaning that off centre strikes perform better. SCALLOP In the quest to maximise profile, using scallops either side of the spine allow the apex to be extended without dramatically increasing weight. Scallops also maximise edge profile which reduces rotation of the blade in off centre hits, minimising power loss. FACE PROFILE The modern game revolves around the thickness of the blade: 1) Flat Face - levelling out the striking area allows more mass to be retained in the back of the bat, maximising the power profile. 2) Rounded Face â favoured by more traditional players, the slightly rounded face gives a familiar look but yields a less expanded profile. BOW The curve of the bat from the tip of the handle to the end of the toe. Designed to enhance the position of the hands by placing them ahead of the ball, which is essential for good strokeplay. HAND CRAFTED Each cleft is different, and although replication by machine would seem a sensible direction, it does not allow Kookaburraâs Master Bat Maker to individually assess and uniquely work every cleft to maximise itâs performance. Over 50 different processes go into the production of each Kookaburra bat... TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP Pre Knocked In This process is done by hand NOT machine and greatly reduces the time needed to prepare your bat for match play. It is not a full âknocking inâ service and more preparation work by yourself is advised after purchase.
