To be clear, the retailers involved in the Legacy have been invited to stock the product.



We were the first retailer to pick the Legacy stock. I have bats from 2'8 to 2'10. The bats come pre fitted with a toe guard and also the new ripple style grip, which does add a little extra weight. All bats come with a free Sareen bat cover.

The bats are in a concaved shape, all of them have excellent pickup and balance, the performance is very pleasing based on mallet and ball tests. The bats have clean straight grains for the most part, with only the odd minor blemish on some bats.

I will take some more pictures when i can. Off soon for a weekend of cricket and beer, or rain and beer....

Are these a kind of advance preview that only a few selected retailers are getting? They look to be very nice bats. I'm sure that other retailers are kicking themselves that they didn't get on the list!

The cleaner looking back is so much better, I'm tempted to remove some of the stickers off mine now! (Either that, or I could buy a new one entirely...) :-[

Indeed, the Legacy will progress into the flagship range for 2015. For now it's a limited run of 75 bats stocked only by the retailers listed in my first post.

Chad, always more room in the collection, no? ;)

Will take some profile shots etc soon, i did post a vine to our twitter account which shows the whole bat off.

Haha I'm afraid there's always room in the collection. :-[ I had a look at the Vine, and although I like the look of the bat, it just doesn't seem massively different at all in terms of profile compared to the other TON bats! At least they're pushing the stickers in the right direction though. :)

Selling well so far, TON Legacy bats have been on the shelves for less than 12 hours (in terms of how long we have actually been open) and we've sold 3 already.

Will be loading onto the website soon.

I understand the slight disappointment with the lack of concaving. We were given an indication from TON that the bats would be in the non concaved shape, things often change in cricket so i wanted to wait until seeing them for sure before confirming things absolutely. That being said, i don't think concaving is something to get hung up on. Some of my favourite bats ever, including the best bat i ever owned have been concaved. I don't get the argument that concaving has an impact on performance. Performance comes from the pressing, as well as the quality of the piece of wood to begin with. Tinkering with the shape on the back of the bat affects balance and pickup much more than performance. If removing wood from the back of the bat had such an impact, the GN Scoop would be the worst bat ever made.

I've added some profile shots to the first post.

Don't forget that for a couple more days, GripGrip is free with all bats ordered from us, including the Legacy.
