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
