The Kahuna has been a staple in the Kookaburra production line for many years, and it continues to impress.You think of Ricky Ponting in Australia’s glory years and this could have boosted its initial impression score. Jack Myers commented on the “big hitting area” and Nick Friend found its “massive, yet forgiving middle”. This is one for the big hitters.
The name is appropriate when you consider the legends that have wielded MRF willows down the years. Charlie considered it the most consistent bat he used and Max was pleased with its even weight distribution. Nick felt you could hit it into the stands and felt the swing was similar to that of a golf club. Runs to be had with this one.
