Kookaburra Kahuna Pro Players Junior Cricket Bat
The Kookaburra Kahuna Pro Players Junior Cricket Bat is a premium English willow cricket bat for accomplished junior players who want high grade willow and a versatile shape for scoring around the ground. Its mid to high profile suits a mix of front foot and back foot stroke play, particularly on wickets where there is good bounce.
Made from Pro Players Grade unbleached English willow, the Kahuna Pro Players sits at the premium end of Kookaburra's junior bat offering based on the supplied willow grade. For a developing batter with established technique, that means access to high quality willow in junior sizes rather than simply stepping into an adult bat too early.
The mid to high profile places more of the bat's shape further up the blade than a low profile cricket bat. This makes practical sense when the ball is carrying and you need a bat that works when getting forward to drive as well as when playing cuts, pulls and other back foot shots.
Who is the Kahuna Pro Players Junior best for?
The Kahuna Pro Players Junior is best suited to accomplished junior cricketers who want premium English willow and a profile that supports stroke play around the ground. Its mid to high profile is particularly relevant for batters playing on wickets with good bounce and those whose game involves a genuine mix of front foot and back foot shots.
It is offered in Small Adult, Harrow and Size 6, giving older and developing junior players several sizing options.

Pro Players Grade Willow
This grade is cosmetically the best of the best, which often produce fantastic performing bats. These bats will typically have straight and evenly spaced grains, with only very minor visual imperfections or redwood visible on the bat.

Kookaburra sources its willow from the UK, working with the world’s leading growers. When grading cricket bats, several factors are considered beyond the key features mentioned above.

-
Grains: The straightness, and evenness of grains in the willow.
-
Density: Referring to the natural weight of each cleft.
-
Cosmetic: Whether minor or major, blemishes or imperfections—cosmetic or performance-related—are assessed based on their type and where they appear on the bat.
-
