Bat Review: Kookaburra Ghost 6.4 Ultimate

"Comfortable midweight with excellent pick-up"

RRP: £160, Owzat price: £127.99, Edge: 35mm, Weight: 2lb 9oz

The Ghost 6.4 Ultimate Grade blends classical Kookaburra lines with contemporary styling, creating what many regard as a modern classic in both looks and intent.

Designed with a pro shield face and natural back, this grade often features visible staining and cosmetic marks on the blade.

These imperfections prevent it from being sold as having a traditional natural finish, but importantly, they have no impact on performance or structural integrity.

To maintain a clean, professional appearance, Kookaburra applies its durable, lightweight pro shield anti-scuff covering, complete with a sublimated grain effect.

This smart cosmetic solution allows players working within a tighter budget to own a bat that looks premium at the crease without paying top-tier prices.

Performance feedback from testers was mixed. Weighing 2lb 9oz, some players felt it was slightly too light in the hands, making it harder to fully commit to expansive shots. A few noted that the middle felt less pronounced, with limited power when striking outside the sweet spot. 

Others, however, described it as a comfortable midweight with excellent pick-up, praising its smooth downswing and ability to send the ball impressive distances when timed well.

Ultimately, the Ghost suits confident stroke-makers but may not satisfy those seeking consistent power.
