Just picked this up from eBay. Been wanting one for a while and very tempted to use it, although I feel like I should lock it away for a few years and it might be worth a whole lot more! Thoughts?

The stickers were looking a bit rough on the ebay listing, but thankfully it was just the protective film so they now look brand new.

Get it copied if you want to use it, keep the original as a collectors item?

Good shout!

I always make a point of getting mine out at least once a season, and then wondering why I don't use it more - they're a lot of fun!

Agreed. I recently brought mine out of retirement. The UK made much better than the SS version. I'm trying to a get a GN Aus made copy. We'll see how that goes.

Has anyone had any luck getting one made with the splice up in the handle?

Hunts are the guys to speak to for that, they were the original UK manufacturer. Whether they've still got the handles needed is another question mind!

I may be a bit blind but I cant seem to find an email address on their website. Whats the best way to get in touch with them?

Is a phone call not possible?

[mr_reagan]

Well i prefer email correspondence when given the choice, much easier to keep track of what was said ect.

Seems like they may prefer phone contact 😆 Sometimes easier for a business than replying to multiple emails which often come to nothing. Not saying that's the case with you though obviously

I spoke to them fairly recently. They were not interested in making an mmi.

[jonny77]

I'd be happy to have a go, but would ideally need a bat to replicate. You'd really need to see the handle/splice area to try and replicate it properly. Whether it could be done is another thing as it may not be possible unless you have specific handles made. Difficult without seeing, measuring etc

You shouldn't need specific handles. Splice to top of handle on an MMi3 is ~39cm so slightly shorter than a regular bat.

Keeley used to use a regular handle and cut 1" off the bottom (leaving a fat splice). Hunts used to cut off the top, so spliced like a normal bat.

I'm happy to have a go at an MMI, I've made many similar bats, such as this one
