Title: At last its here....
Post by: Cover_Drive on February 17, 2012, 10:09:23 PM

So finally got this Millichamp and Hall Distinction I always wanted to buy this shape so was on sale by Dan W so snapped it right away. Dan is a wonderful guy to deal with. He shipped it on Tuesday and I got it minutes before I was heading towards Mosque. More importantly it came via FeDex but didn't get hit by customs, was tad surprising tbh.

Anyways, first impression on bat that it is quite stunning, feels good in hands, straight away I added an additional grip as I like thick handles.

Tomorrow will be real test, will be using it in nets and will see if I go along the weight. Does feel slightly (just slightly) heavier but don't think it will make much of a difference. Shall add a counter balance if that's the case.

Pictures (please bear with me as I just took them from my BB, might post better ones later on)

Enjoy!

That Oblivion is a beast as well and is a special factory order bat. But the Distinction makes it go pale in comparison. Keep us posted on how the bat plays in the nets.

So just got home from nets and used this bat. Must say it is front foot heaven really, and anything full is easily middled and it was a superb bat.

Near the end felt a bit heavy but it is something which is easily manageable
