everything about the bloke is class
-
I didnt realise that M&H were now owned by Puma.
Nice little article. I have to say that i really like his workshop, looks like a perfect little place to spend you day making bats!
-
I seem to remember hearing that it's only the Australian based M+H business that Puma bought, not the Somerset guys. If you remember the original Puma bats liek the ones Bevan used, they had very similar cosmetics to M+H
-

That only applies to the Australian operation. It's been an open secret for at least 10 years now. IIRC, the first Aussie puma bats (Bevan, Mark Taylor, Gilchrist etc) had dual branding; both Puma and M&H.
-
Thats what i thought, as i've been into the Taunton workshop and have yet to see any sniff of Puma around. Is this why Keith Dudgeon had a supply of the M&H stickers for sale on his website, makes sense if he deals with refurbs etc.
I thought the Bevan bat was a beauty - the green and red with the Puma logo did look good.
Anyway - back to Julian, wonder if he is bringing out a new bat profile this year, perhaps a 20/20 effort from the legend?
-
Mort - you should post a bit more, you seem to know your onions......plus you left us on a cliffhanger about that bat with no splice, the GM Galaxy was it??
-
someone followed up with a bit more info.
as I said, I never owned one, a friend did. I've just the adverts from old magazines
-
i think i saw somewhere that rob who works at m&h owns the business.... may be wrong
-
Photos from 100notout - the lucky sod :o. Awesome looking bat and in great condition
Was it made for you, whats the weight?
This bat has curves like Beyonce......but i get a feeling Norb might like this one :D

He owns the UK business. The Australian business is /was a separate legal entity.

Nice bat the sort of classic bats I love but short blade?
-
Yeah it was made for me a few months back. . . there is a topic on it.
It weighs 2.10 all in.
It was a lightweight cleft that i chose to get a large profile for a low weight, based on the distinction but with more wood.
will add the link to the older topic later.
-
New bat! Duped by the photo colouring :( :o
-
Apologies for the camera quality Norbs.

Oh that Puma has just made me do a little sex-wee in my pants!
-

I'm lost, did M&H make it for you in the distinction shape a couple of months ago? Where did the stickers come from then?
or is it an old bat and I'm getting mixed up.
-
I am confused here. Someone mind help taking me out of dark cave.
Millichamp & Hall (M&H) is owned by Puma, correct?
M&H is now known as Screaming Cat, right?
So how come a company of name M&H exist which have distinction bat range etc?
Thanks a bunch
-
The M&H Australia company is owned by puma. English is still owned by, itself i suppose.
The head batmaker from M&H (Julian Millichamp) left the company and founded Screaming Cat.

So the England;s M&H is not owned by Julian? Thats owned by Puma right? Is that what you are saying?
Screaming Cat is owned by Julain right/
-
its like talking to a brick wall
-
CD come on lol.
Julian LEFT M&H TO FORM screaming cat, which he runs. He now has nothing to do with M&H anymore.
M&H England is owned by whoever the head honcho down at somerset is i believe.
M&H AUSTRALIA is owned by PUMA.
comprende? :D
-

It's worth the bespoke service for those stickers, classic M&H and take me back to the days of the phenomenal Michael Bevan!

just noticed there are only two springs in the scat handles . . . .

that puma/m&h is gorgeous, quite like the large swell and smaller edges look!
