I have seen one. Pings very well but soft pressed. So if you get one make sure to knock properly.

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!

I've ordered a 2016 DC1080 in 2.11. Hoping it's a belter.

As a matter of fact i just tried my friend TC 1260 2.10 bat. Amazing bat and excellent performance. I don't think you will be disappointed mate!

Do post pictures of your bat and a personal review of the bat as well.

You will not be disappointed, I am going to wait for the 2017 range which I think is releasing in August, it's suppose to be the same exact specs as 2016 just upgraded stickers.

I would put pics of my 1080 LE just can't get them uploaded on this forum.

Just bought a TC1260 waiting for it to be delivered. Took the plunge after having a DC580+ that went well the other year.
