Custom made bat - B3 or Millichamp & Hall
« on: February 05, 2018, 05:05:52 PM »
Looking advice on which would be the better bat maker to get a custom made bat copy done? Any heads up and advice welcome been a few years since last bought a bat. Have been looking at either B3 or M&H

Thanks

Definitely, B3. Lately, I have seen few B3s of @brokenbat and I must say I am highly impressed.

Anyone but M&H. B3 have a good reputation, Red Ink will do an excellent job too.

I’ve used the same guy for a long time now. Robert Pack (Blueroom / RPC)
You’ll not be disappointed and you’ll probably save some brass against the other two as well 👍🏻

Pot stirred :D

The M&H I have is great as are my Red Ink, Hell 4 Leather, Affinity and Kelsall, for a custom/copy your probably better off with the smaller names on that list or B3 as they control all the parts of their bat making and from my experiences are good people to deal with.

Not sure you can guarantee the bats are made in SomerSet when it comes to M&H

That's true you cannot guarantee they all are. @springbok45 does have a point, for a copy of an existing bat maybe another manufacturer would be better.

Interesting thou, I was on the M and H website the other day and a brand once seen as over the top on bat prices probably fits in the middle to high region now. Certainly not very top end price wise in 2018.

The clearance items they have, I agree totally do not represent good value for money, looks like some discounted bats are sold thru the pop up stores....

I got a B3 which I will do a review on tomorrow.

But I'd personally go to Dave at XX cricket (Norfolk cricket bats)

He has made me a absolute gem and the finishing is next to none. (I contacted him on Twitter)

presumably second to none rather than next to?
