Tom Balding Advantage Bits feature a heavier 3/8” tube shank in a satin finish and do not have copper inlays. A quicker action and release with the added weight. The mouthpiece is our Low Rider©. This shank measures 7″ overall. Tom Balding mouthpieces are 5 1/8” wide and made of sweet iron for increased salivation and a more relaxed response and do rust with time. Shanks are satin finish stainless steel that will not rust. Whether you’re in the arena or out on the range, trust the bit trusted by professionals, trainers, and true horsemen alike.
