The New Balance (NB) Size 6 junior bat is the final “numerical” size before a player transitions into Harrow or Adult equipment. It is designed for young cricketers who have developed significant strength and are looking for a bat that provides professional-level power while remaining maneuverable.
Like the smaller sizes, the NB Size 6 is divided into the Burn, TC (Traditional Craft), and Heritage ranges, each tailored to a specific style of play.
NB TC (Traditional Craft) Series: The flagship series endorsed by Joe Root. In Size 6, the TC 600 or TC 800 models are highly popular. They feature a mid-blade sweet spot and a full profile with minimal concaving, making them perfect for technical players who rely on timing and classical stroke play.
NB Burn Series: Designed for the aggressive “speed” player. The Burn 600 features a higher sweet spot and a lighter pick-up. This is ideal for juniors who like to play horizontal-bat shots (cuts and pulls) and need a bat that reacts quickly to short-pitched bowling.
NB Heritage Series: These bats focus on a traditional aesthetic with a mid-sweet spot. The Heritage 600 offers a balanced feel that is forgiving for all types of shots, suitable for the “anchor” batsman of the team.
Willow: Usually crafted from high-quality Grade 3 or Grade 4 English Willow (in models like the 600 series) or premium Kashmir Willow for high durability during practice.
Handle: Features a 6-piece or 9-piece Singapore cane handle with a semi-oval shape to provide a unique feel, dampening vibrations from high-speed impacts.
Profile: Expect massive edges (up to 38mm–40mm) and a pronounced bow, giving the bat the “big blade” appearance used by international stars.
Grip: Fitted with a multi-textured grip (often in the iconic blue/white/red TC colors) to ensure maximum control and comfort for growing hands.
Recommended Age: Approximately 11 to 13 years old.
Player Height: Ideally suited for players between 5′ 2″ and 5′ 6″ (157cm – 168cm).
Bat Length: Approximately 31 ¼ inches (79.4cm).
Approx. Weight: Usually ranges between 2lb 3oz and 2lb 5oz.
