Shaped for power hitting, the DC 1000 Max encourages you to attack with its huge low swell and chunky edges. Duckbill tapering at the toe aids the pickup so you’re quick off the mark, putting you in position for those big shots that utterly demoralise bowlers. The stickers are clean and classy with some stitched-effect detailing, while the grip’s hybrid pattern offers a mix of control and manoeuvrability for different types of shots.
