New Balance TC 200 Kashmir Willow Cricket Bat
The New Balance TC 200 Kashmir Willow Cricket Bat is an entry level cricket bat designed for players who are new to the game and want a durable, accessible option for developing their batting. Its low swell, large edges and protective fibreglass facing provide a practical setup for introductory cricket.
Unlike an English willow cricket bat, the TC 200 does not require knocking in. It is not designed for use with a hard leather cricket ball.
The low swell positions more of the bat's profile towards the lower section of the blade. Combined with the large edges, this gives the TC 200 substantial shape through the lower hitting area.
What should you consider before buying?
The main consideration is the type of cricket you will be playing. The New Balance TC 200 is not suitable for use with a hard leather cricket ball.
It does not require the knocking in process associated with English willow bats. If you are playing hard ball club or school cricket, we recommend choosing an appropriate English willow model instead.
