Millichamp & Hall Harlequin Review
« on: March 12, 2011, 04:24:13 PM »
So another bat to my collection and this time its Millichamp & Hall Harlequin :)

This bat was at ProDirect and when I saw it I was flattered and wanted to buy it right away but I couldn't order it myself so I gave shout to a person who have always helped me and have been perfect and most helpful guy for me and its no other than, Asad Qureshi (Bhai) at UziSports :D. Every time I get a bat from Asad Bhai his service is better and better and better and it impress me even more than what he had impressed me earlier. So the bar of Asad Bhai is above 100% and is always increasing, such a helpful and down to earth guy he is. If everyone in our world is like Asad Qureshi then I am sure this world will be worry free and perfect seriously it is really really difficult to come across a person like Asad Bhai. In UK I don't think I need anyone else when Asad Bhai can do everything for me! So he ordered and shipped me the bat in Canada!

I don't know what shipping Asad Bhai used but the bat was here in 4 business days from UK to Canada which I find very impressive! I didn't get time to write a review so anyways got the bat on Thursday (was suppose to get it on Wednesday but no one was home). When I opened the bat it looked brilliant, everything was perfect! Handle is oval and thicker than my Salix, Newbery, MB Malik and GM Icon LE which did surprise me a bit as I thought it was standard but either way it feels nice in my hands.

The pickup on this bat is fabulous, it is brilliant!! I am not sure of exact weight as ProDirect said it was Medium but I am not sure of exact weight but personally it seems to be perfect for me. The shape and profile looks good and I like it as well. The spine is good as well.

I slightly got disappointed with the finishing but it could be because I have probably seen best finished bats earlier. So when I compare the finishing of this bat with my Salix, Newbery, GM and MB Malik I didn't find it better than those four. From the feel of the bat it looks it will require oiling. I am not saying finishing is not good but its not as good as Salix, Newbery, MB Malik or GM.

Overall very good bat and I am loving it! Great work by M&H as well!

At last, here are the pictures, hope you guys like it!

Feel free to ask any questions and criticisms are always welcome :)

Enjoy!

Your floor is impressively clean.  Not a speck of dust in sight!  Nice bat too!

I am surprised that's it isn't as well finished as your malik and gm. My experience of m&h is that they are one of the better ones…

Too much concaving for my taste, plank with a fin, looks nice wood though.


a bit harsh

no M&H is a plank but are all a bit over-priced, considering not all are handmade in taunton

Tim, I was surprised as well. Both GM and Malik have very good finishing.

W.Death - I paid £225

100 - people said Icon have high middle but played with it today and its really not that high I would say.

awp - Thank you very much :)

Thanks a lot guys :)
