Chrome vs Noir
« on: October 29, 2018, 01:26:40 AM »
So:

I am thinking-- what exactly are the differences between the Chrome and the Noir apart from the stickers? I have not played or even picked up either so am hoping that someone would enlighten me a bit about this. I feel interested to experiment with the Noir but am not sure whether I should instead be saving some money and getting the old Chrome instead. Thanks, guys.

Just from looking at the images, it looks like the Noir is just a beefier version of the chrome. Other than that, the shape/sweet spot location seems identical.

I did ask... but didn't really follow up on it.
The Chrome and Noir are definitely different but its subtle...

If anyone has access to last years catalogue, it may say the dimensions/ volume (albeit not the curvature, exact peak swell position etc). The2019 catalogue shows the Noir to have max edges of 38mm, max spine of 64mm and a volume of 2,274 cm3.

Given the similarity from above, I suspect they will pick up in a very similar way (st the inevitable differences from bat to bat).
