Distinctive next generation graphics in combination with a traditional profile makes Nickel the ideal choice for players who wish to make a statement at the crease,

  • MODEL: Nickel 2.0
  • CODE: 2A29232

The Kookaburra Nickel 2.0 Cricket Bat has been handmade using specially selected Grade 2 unbleached English willow.

  • Sizes: SH Only

  • Hand Crafted

    Each cleft is different, and although replication by machine would seem a sensible direction, it does not allow Kookaburra’s Master Bat Maker to individually assess and uniquely work every cleft to maximise it’s performance. Over 50 different processes go into the production of each Kookaburra bat... TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP

  • KPP

    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 ‘knocking in’ service and more preparation work by yourself is advised after purchase.

  • 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 it’s natural moisture level

  • Octopus Grip

    Initially introduced by Kookaburra using ‘Octopus Suckers’ to give that ultimate ‘tacky’ feel for a secure grip.

A - Edge Profile & Thickness
B - Spine Profile
C - 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.
D - 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.
E - Face Profile
Rounded Face – favoured by more traditional players, the slightly rounded face gives a familiar look but yields a less expanded profile.
F - 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.
