Kookaburra Kahuna 6.1 English Willow Cricket Bat

Kookaburra Kahuna 6.1 English Willow Cricket Bat – Iconic Power for Dynamic Stroke Players

The Kookaburra Kahuna 6.1 English Willow Cricket Bat continues the legacy of one of cricket's most iconic bat ranges, originally developed with Ricky Ponting to meet the demands of dynamic stroke makers. Crafted from Grade 6 Unbleached English Willow, the Kahuna 6.1 delivers outstanding power, balanced pickup, and dependable performance for club, league, and aspiring cricketers.

Designed with a mid-to-high sweet spot (215–235mm from the toe), the Kahuna profile provides exceptional power through the drive while maintaining excellent balance for all-round shot-making. The 35–38mm rounded edges, combined with a powerful 64–68mm spine, maximise energy transfer for clean, powerful striking.

A lightweight 1–2mm scalloped profile reduces unnecessary weight without compromising strength, while the 11–12mm bow enhances stroke play and manoeuvrability. The comfortable oval handle, fitted with Kookaburra's premium Vertex Grip, provides excellent control, reduced vibration, and superior feel at the crease.

Supplied Kookaburra Pre-Prepared (KPP), the bat requires less preparation before knocking in, while the non-oil Armourtec face adds an extra layer of surface protection to improve durability and prolong bat life.

Manufactured exclusively in a Short Handle (SH) configuration, the Kookaburra Kahuna 6.1 English Willow Cricket Bat offers an outstanding combination of performance, durability, and value for modern cricketers.
