The consensus was that the TC860 is a hefty willow. At 2lb 11oz with 42mm edges it certainly was chunky on paper too. This worked for Holly, Charlie and Manny. It was a bit much for Nick. New Balance have made a hunky bat, so if you’re a nudger it may not be for you.
Advaith said this was his favourite. Managing editor of The Cricketer Huw Turbervill said it “was the most exquisite bat I have used in my life, I hit six balls and they all flew”, which is quite the compliment. The handles were thin, some commented, but as ever some do have that preference so they can use their wrists for greater control.
