A

Massive ‘Big Edge’ profile which increases from the shoulders and maximizes at the sweet spot, generating supreme balance with an extended sweet spot that covers the entire width of the blade. The ‘Big Edge’ forms a vital part of Kookaburra’s renowned power profiles.

B

Kookaburra’s ‘Super Spine’ profiles adopt traditional shaping characteristics which operate in unison with the ‘Big Edge’ profile of the bat – creating a huge apex, with unrivalled amounts of power throughout the length of the blade and exceptional ‘pick up’.

C

The position in the blade where performance is maximized. Kookaburra bats are engineered to maximize 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.

D

In the quest to maximize profile, the use of scallops either side of the spine allow the apex to be extended without dramatically increasing weight. Scallops also maximize edge profile which reduces rotation of the blade in off centre hits and the resulting loss of power.

E

The modern game revolves around the thickness of the blade. Flat Face - levelling out the striking area allows more mass to be retained in the back of the bat, maximising the power profile.

F

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 stroke play.

BIG EDGES

Increasing the edge profile minimizes the power loss caused from ‘off centre’ strikes. Kookaburra bat edges ensures you don’t lose, when it doesn’t come out of the middle.

SUPER SPINE

The Kookaburra ‘Super Spine’ generates maximum power through every single ball.

BIG SWEET SPOT

Engineered to maximize the size of the sweet spot, by optimizing the edge, spine and scallop profiles - Kookaburra bats are produced with the maximum sized ‘sweet spot’ available, building confidence and emphasizing stroke play.

FLAT FACE

Kookaburra’s Flat Face Profile levels out the striking area allowing more mass to be retained in the back and edges of the bat. By maximizing the amount of willow behind the striking area, the bat gains a larger profile and produces more power.

POWER DRIVE

Kookaburra handles utilize multiple pieces of specially selected cane to enhance strength. This reinforces the bond between handle & blade thereby maximizing durability and power transfer.

ANGLED TOE

All Kookaburra bats have a slightly angled toe – this allows the bat to sit comfortably in the stance and promote the preferred hand position of being slightly ahead of the blade.

NATURALLY DRIED

Kookaburra use traditional methods to prepare willow, with clefts being left to dry naturally over a period of time rather than ‘flash’ dried in kilns. This gives greater durability as it allows the willow to find its natural moisture level.
