Kookaburra Rapid 4.1 Hero Cricket Bat (2026)

• 4.1 Hero Grade - the grain structure will be similar to the ‘3.1’ with potentially 4 grains visible on the face; however, there will be more stain in the wood making these bats less attractive visually but again performance will not be impacted.

Built for players who value a featherlight pickup and fast bat speed, it delivers a perfectly balanced feel with a mid sweet spot and flat face profile.
