Title: Millichamp & Hall
Post by: skip1973 on August 29, 2021, 01:19:38 PM
Don't see much about them on here.

Are they popular in the UK? Do they make a good bat?

Anyone got any opinions on them?

Thanks

Playing in Somerset I see loads. You cant knock their performance but they are extremely expensive, unavailable in lower grades and extremely prone to cracked toes. Personally I think there is far better value and no less performance to be found elsewhere.

Agree with James entirely, very popular around the Somerset area however I’ve been extremely underwhelmed with both their performance and longevity at the price point.

Most people on here believe that M&H 'off the shelf' bats are made in India by SS. But don't try telling that to the average club cricketer who owns one.

Without doubt some of the best performing bats I've ever had (and I've had a lot of bats). Price structure is obscene but sometimes they do the odd offer on the website that almost makes the price bearable. Very thin handles similar to SS/TON  ;)

The bats do come knocked in which is a plus for many cricketers and they do a mighty fine job knocking them in. You can see the indentations.

Ridiculous pricing and slightly off marketing but great performing bats.

As someone who pays in Devon and has done for 15 years, it’s been fascinating to see their growth as a company. I’ve never owned one, but have seen plenty and played with teammates who swear by them.

Performance-wise, I’ve never been blown away however, and for the hefty price point, I’ve also not come across many that have longevity either. They have a reputation of breaking quickly around these parts.
