We'll level with you: we love the Kudos. First introduced in 2013, it's a real batter's bat, crafted for players who know how to work the ball around the ground and build an innings against even the best opposition. Its long, high spine gives you the classic feel and exquisite balance of traditional English bats that lends itself to controlled shots off the back foot, while the mid-blade sweetspot is more than meaty enough to punch drives through the infield.
