Ton Legacy Elite from Vitas
« on: February 22, 2015, 02:36:13 PM »

Afternoon all, thought I would share a few pics and my review of my new TON Legacy elite. This is the top of the range model for the UK so I believe this year.

This is the first season that I'll be using Sareen kit and having already got a max power I wanted to add a model with the new full profile for this year. Firstly what I really like are the oval handles on the TON bats they are perfect for my hands and with the ripple grip feel really good in the hands.
So this is G1 top end English willow and this model has an even strip of heartwood on the RH outside edge , personally I like some heartwood on the outside edge of my bats and all my best ever bats have had heartwood in the main. Close tight grains 15 of them that can be mirrored through the back of the bat which I was always told was the sign of a good bat if the grains are mirrored front and back. Profile is mid placed with a duck bill toe and no concaving, 40 mm edges and approx 58mm spine height and is quite a big bat actually looks bigger than 40mm edge if that makes sense. Weight is 2.10 dead on with grip and scuff sheet and toe guard, now I'm not going to say it picks up like a 2.7 or anything like that but too me it feels light in my hands and in the back lift.

Now performance wise I haven't used in a net but having tapped this up compared to some of my other bats this is a serious piece of willow, the middle seems quite long and very punchy I don't think this will require a lot of effort to send the ball to the boundary, the pressing on this and also my TON max power which I have netted with all winter is in my view very good. In addition the finish is also very very good, I have oiled the bat but the edges were rounded, standings very smooth and the quality of the stickers are superb. Here are a few pics

Get and knock that in Chris!

My Yuvi tapped up lovely from new, but after a bit of mallet loving it went to the next level!

If the 2nd hand LE I got off ebay is anything to go by, a played in SS in the full profile will go like stink!

Gorgeous bat Chris, looks so much cleaner on the back without all the normal stickers.

Those are some lush grains. Even if you don't score any runs with it, you'll be able to consolidate yourself with a stunning looking bat!

Nice... top end TON bats are better than any i have owned.
Also, i thought TON Gladiator Elite was top of the range in UK.

RRP is higher on Legacy bats for some reason but the Willow used on TON Gladiator is definitely better than Legacy bats

What about TON reserve edition ? Is that still top of the TON range or is it no more in the range?

Reserve Edition doesn't exist in the UK range.

Ok. I thought TON branding was made for UK market.
Now it's confusing  :-[

Ss/ton needs to streamline their range.

I agree, why make two different sets of stickers for the same bat?? Personally I like SS branding rather than TON.

I haven't got a Scooby what's going on with the range either now.

I thought it was a simple TON was UK market, SS was everywhere else, but that's clearly not the case!  ???
Also I'm confused as to how the 7 star limited edition is now mid range...  :-[
