Been a while I was looking for a new bat....and this time I was looking for the top of the line SS TON RESERVE EDITION or the PLAYERS EDITION....went to the delhi's best store(acc to me).
Saw this on the shelf and I was like wow....profile wise you will hardly see any difference in all the SS TON range...but this is the first bat from SS which is different(well I have never seen a TON with a different profile)
I can say there is not even a single millimeter shaved of the back.
Pinged all the bats and I just couldnt believe that ping on reserve and players editions were no match to this bat....

Now as far as the specs go
1. It has 15 straight graims
2. Weighs around 2.10(a bit bottom heavy because of the profile)
3. 42 mm edges....
Costed me around 120 GBP....
Though the original price is 165 GBP...

Incredible looking SS, profile and looks wise! How is the handle like?
-
Looks a nice one.
I have a TON Max Power in stock with this non-concave profile at 2'9, with an oval handle.
-
Its a round handle.....

Bargain for that price

As mentioned by Himanshu in his opening post, a bit bottom heavy

I love SS bats.
Be interested to hear how this one goes once its been knocked in.
-
Knocked it for an hour yesterday....and its opening up really well....this is my 5th ss bat and none has disappointed me...all have been rockets with concaved profile and grade 2-3 willow....
This is non concaved and grade 1 and it feels better then those after 1 hour of knocking in...
This will surely be my match bat this sunday.....:)
Will share how did it go....

Whats the deal with the finishing on it?

Which shop did you go to Himanshu?
-
Yeah any info on the store would be helpful.
My bud is currently there looking for bats as we speak, any help appreciated.

finishing is top notch as you should expect from a big brand like SS TON.....
120 pounds may not sound expensive as per UK standards...but its still considered expensive in india...because you get nice quality bats in 40-70 GBP range....

Dont worry i wasnt having a go. I was just looking at the foot but maybe you have used it. Nice bat though...and plenty of runs :)

Ahh i didnt mean that budd....
Foot was indeed very rough with CHANDELA written on it....
I thought maybe it was meant for that disgraced ipl fixer chandela...
But this bat is undoubtedly the best bat i have played with....and feels better then my brothers gladiator....
