Julian Millichamp First Made TT Shape Bat?
« on: October 23, 2011, 07:49:56 AM »
A video link posted by langer17 on other forum so I thought I'd share here so while I was watching the video near the end (at 26:00 mark) in the background I see a bat with yellow grip and it is like Newbery TT.

So question is Julian was the first one to experiment that before Newbery stole his idea?

Since Julian done his apprenticeship under John Newbery do you think there is a chance Julian "borrowed" the original idea?

You think John Newbery did it all the way back?
