I can vouch for regular DC1080 bat. Both 2016 and 2017 models have been very good. 2016 model has a slightly thicker handle, chunky toe and feels a tab bit bottom heavy. 2017 model has a thinner handle, thinner toe and feels more balanced with a mid-low hitting zone. Both of them have a curved face with decent sized edges. Ping & performance is extremely good. Get something in the weight range of 2lb 9oz or above. Lighter bats in NB feels almost lifeless. I have tried a TC1260 - 2lb7oz and it was pretty awful, except for sweet spot rest of the areas were dead!
