Have not posted for a while but thought this is a worthy topic to share.
Manage to get my hands on 2 Puma Millichamp Precision 1000 new at a great price from a Melbourne retailer. Mjolnir shape gorgeous pick up and Scat handle and amazing ping. Will do a detailed review on both if requested.

Yep and these 2 are just stunning so had to share it with the forum ;)

Wow, where did you get this? Such a great shape, I was playing around with a mate's old Precision a couple of weeks back except it was a lowly 2000 model.
I miss the old Puma Millichamp stickers they were class man.

They evoke Michael Bevan interminably chipping away totals in one-day games don't they?
Brilliant

I was thinking the exact same thing

All class, balance and pick up is to die for!!

Yeah the pick up felt so smooth on my mates, the duck bill toe is something I haven't played around with for a while, feels gooooooooood. Played with it yet?
-
Netted with the one in the photo and goes like a steam train
-
Man, it looks sooo nice! It must pick up like an absolute dream! 8) How much did these beauties set you back? :D

Duck Billed Toe... So Hunts County around 1990!

75 quid each and that's what I call a good buy ;)
-
If I'd picked up two of these I'd be keeping one as a collectors item lol
I can see these fetching good coin in a few years time. Like the old scoops going for silly money earlier in the year.
Really beautiful sticks you've got yourself there mate

A 75 quid bat?! In Australia?! Don't lie now! :D What grade are they? I can't quite see the face of the bat too well because of the scuff sheet. :P The decals and shape look so classy. 8)

It's the truth. These sorts of bats are not in demand anymore all the young guys want big edges not these types of English beauties. Anti scuff and edge tape on this bat and was the top of the range model in it's day. The face looks very much like a Scat nice but not beautiful but pings it's socks off.

Great to see you back Johng, hope alls well with you.
What a lovely bat(s) you have managed to get hold of. They are amazing, I deeply adore Julian Millichamp's art.
Would you consider selling one to me please?:)
A detailed review would be highly appreciated, you have had Screaming Cat so how do this compare with that and probably (M&H Amplus).
Many thanks

Well and thanks for asking. I have netted with this bat only once and the ping is as good as any I have had the pleasure of owning the middle is huge and spine is extremely high but I have not measured it yet. Have bats improved with the introduction of big edges and concaving complemented by over drying, I don't think so. I remember as a kid in the 80's with our County Clippers and SS Jumbo's the talk was the height of the spine not the edges.
Would I sell one of these bats maybe but its more about finding 2 of these 10+ year old Millichamp masterpieces new. This bat weighs 2.11.8oz and picks up like 2.8oz and I just hope companies revisit this shape. Not here for an auction but more to talk about the old times.

What Melbourne retailer did you get this from? Maddocks? There's not many cricket stores around here.

Wow!
What a trip down the memory lane.
The bats look a treat.
