The New Balance TC 800i MAX Cricket Bat, made from Grade 4 English Willow, is a budget-friendly option designed for players who need a solid bat without spending a premium. 

Specifications:

• Willow Type: The bat is crafted from Grade 4 English Willow. This willow is more affordable and often has more visible blemishes and imperfections compared to higher grades. However, it still offers decent performance and durability for the price.

• Profile: The TC 800i MAX typically features a mid-to-low profile. This design helps in providing a reasonable sweet spot, making it versatile for various types of shots, including drives and pulls.

• Edge Thickness: The bat usually has moderate edge thickness, around 35-38mm. The MAX version may have slightly thicker edges compared to standard Grade 4 bats, enhancing its power potential.

• Bow: It includes a slight bow, which aids in the pickup and overall power. The bow helps in reducing the weight feel, making the bat easier to handle and maneuver.

• Handle: The bat features a semi-oval handle, designed for a comfortable grip and good control. It also offers shock absorption to minimize vibrations upon impact.

• Weight: The TC 800i MAX is designed to offer a balanced pickup, despite its actual weight, which usually ranges from 2.8 to 2.10 pounds. The balanced pickup helps in achieving a lighter feel and better handling.

• Design: The bat has a straightforward, professional design with New Balance branding. While it may not be as sleek or high-end as Grade 1 models, it still offers a clean and functional appearance.
