The TC (Traditional Cricket) series has a mid sweet spot designed for a balanced, traditional stroke play off both the front and back foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"26\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"26\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat playing style is the New Balance DC 1100i Pro best suited for?\u003c\/b\u003e With its low sweet spot and concentrated weight distribution near the toe, the DC 1100i Pro is perfect for aggressive batters who like to get onto the front foot early and dominate the pitch with straight drives and cover drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"27\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"27\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDoes this Grade 2 English Willow bat require knocking in?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes. Like all premium English Willow cricket bats, the New Balance DC 1100i Pro requires a full knocking-in process before match play. We strongly recommend oiling the blade and using a bat mallet to compress the fibers, ensuring the large edges and toe are fully protected against new, hard leather cricket balls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCheck out Bat Accessories \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/topcricketstore.com\/collections\/cricket-batting-accessories?_gl=1*orxj5j*_up*MQ..*_ga*NDU5NjcyOTU5LjE3MzUzMzI5NDI.*_ga_Q7H58E1FJT*MTczNTMzMjk0MS4xLjAuMTczNTMzMjk0MS4wLjAuMA..\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ehere!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/topcricketstore.com\/blogs\/blog-posts\/how-to-choose-the-perfect-sized-bat-for-you\" title=\"https:\/\/topcricketstore.com\/blogs\/blog-posts\/how-to-choose-the-perfect-sized-bat-for-you\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/topcricketstore.com\/blogs\/blog-posts\/how-to-choose-the-perfect-sized-bat-for-you\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"display: none;\" id=\"highlighter--hover-tools\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NB","offers":[{"title":"Short Handle \/ 2 \/ Light (2lbs 7oz - 2lbs 8oz)","offer_id":47655155826914,"sku":"NBXX-EBAT-D11P-SHLI","price":649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Short Handle \/ 2 \/ Medium (2lbs 9oz - 2lbs 10oz)","offer_id":47655155859682,"sku":"NBXX-EBAT-D11P-SHME","price":649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7924\/0418\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_4531c06c-a0f5-4792-ba4f-c1dc4bea0cba.jpg?v=1775784415","url":"https:\/\/topcricketstore.com\/products\/nb-dc-1100i-pro-adult-english-willow-cricket-bat","provider":"TopCricketStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
