The New Balance TC 900i MAX Cricket Bat, crafted from Grade 3 English Willow, is designed to offer a balance between performance and affordability.
Specifications:
Willow Type: Made from Grade 3 English Willow, this bat will have more blemishes and imperfections compared to Grade 1 and 2 bats. However, it still provides good performance and durability, making it a cost-effective choice.
Profile: The TC 900i MAX typically features a mid-to-low profile, similar to other bats in the TC series. This profile ensures a substantial sweet spot, which is beneficial for various types of shots.
Edge Thickness: The bat generally has moderately thick edges, around 35-40mm, offering a good balance of power and control. The MAX version often includes slightly thicker edges compared to non-MAX models, enhancing its hitting power.
Bow: It includes a slight bow, which helps with the pickup and power. This bow aids in generating forceful shots while maintaining a comfortable feel.
Handle: The bat features a semi-oval handle designed for a comfortable grip and better control. It also helps in shock absorption to reduce vibrations on impact.
Weight: The TC 900i MAX is designed to have a balanced pickup despite its actual weight, which typically ranges between 2.8 to 2.10 pounds. The balanced pickup makes it feel lighter and more maneuverable.
Design: The bat sports a professional design with the New Balance branding. While it might not have the same premium aesthetics as higher-grade models, it still presents a clean and functional look.
