Interesting point with the pick up being a personal preference. I've come to realise I like a bat that feels 2.10ish regardless of what the scale says.
Yep I’m around 2.875😂. Seriously though it depends on the bat. Some clefts can feel bottom heavy too. I remember a GN model I knocked for someone. Bat was 2.10, but felt 2.12. Just that one bat, another I felt in the same range was fine. Sticks in my mind to this day. It was bad.
A nicely presented Kooka ideal for a collector...just a shame with the gauge on the toe...not that you see it but for the money & the look of the bat it would bother me.
It’s interesting. Some will be happy to buy it at any cost, many will not. I think it pricing lacks justification for a majority of buyers. Some will see value because it’s expensive.
Back in the day, they would use whatever they were given. Ion Chappell used a freaking GN500 with 4 scoops. Times have changed. GNs with SS stamps anyone?
Used to really want a Bubble as a kid, just because of stickers. Still look great! Is Isn't that pretty much a std bat we should expect at 2lbs 9oz tho? Not everything can or should be 'low density', 40mm edges etc should it?
Sorry Andrew , I don’t understand your question. I know people will compare the weight and specs, price and wonder why it’s not either bigger or lighter.
@@CricketBatInfo that's kind of my point. Why should bats be expected to be bigger and lighter? We're obsessed with specs. Surely the quality of willow, craftsmanship and ultimately performance should dictate pricing. It's like people are disappointed if every bats not got 40mm edges.
I can see both sides. A bubble lover or collector would trip over to get it. Others will attack it for being $1500 and less than a third of that to manufacture. Is it unique, yes. Is it great value, no.
@@CricketBatInfo 👍 Think that's a different argument, as bat prices are too high. I just feel we're linking price to size of bat, which imo doesn't mature sense. It's almost like in the video you feel it should be low density, but I'm not sure why? Would this make it a better bat?
Bat spine should run slightly more towards the toe or it should not be a duckbill profile. This will greatly increase the shot zone. I Love the stickers 😍 Beautiful bat and great review 👍
I hope you reach the 10K subscribers very soon. Good luck
I will, thanks for subscribing
I made my first century with a borrowed stickerless Bubble back in the early 2000s.
Great bat. Great memories.
And he never saw it again 🤣. Special memory. Thanks for sharing.
Buy that brave daughter of yours an ice cream or maccas whatever her favourite treat is with this tenner. Keep up the great work with the channel.
Kanado thankyou so much. April will definitely get a cheeseburger and a chocolate Sundae . 😉
Thankyou

I hear you. Lovely bat, awful price
@@CricketBatInfo It's a lotta coin but luckily not mine 🤣

@@CricketBatInfo and very much appreciated 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Great review Marc, for that price I would expect to see zero concaving.

Clearly this limited edition is about the stickers and looks I doubt maxwell or any of their sponsored pros would be happy to use it

Do bat profiles actually matter ?? I just saw a video that every profile has the same sweetspot
Absolutely. Impacts power, pickup and hitting performance. A bat with a condensed low mass will feel and perform different to a high mass.
@@CricketBatInfo thanks man
th-cam.com/video/bc5LyRU77mQ/w-d-xo.html was the video i was talking about
Gee, thats nice.
Special retro bat

@@andrews206 if it's lighter density then you get more willow for the weight...more power and bat speed with the con being possible shorter life span.
Bat spine should run slightly more towards the toe or it should not be a duckbill profile. This will greatly increase the shot zone.
I Love the stickers 😍
Beautiful bat and great review 👍
But it doesn’t and that makes it more pronounced. Just imagine if it was light timber and 3 mm bigger every where
Shame it's a $1500 small men's...
Haha, not quite, but you can see it with the naked eye.
