BAT 26 - Millichamp & Hall Harlequin

This is the first of two Harleqins I have - this being the lighter of them at 2'10.
I ordered it knocked in direct from M&H and spcified good performance above cosmetic looks!
It was also pre knocked in as I have enough bats to knock in already 
The pick-up and feel of the bat is no less than you'd expect from this classy batmaker, as it's easy to realise how the Harlequin won the best top range bat award on All Out Cricket last year.
It's the bat made for batsmen who play proper shots and not really for sloggers (oh well, that's me knackered then!) and am quite looking foward to seeing how I get on with it in the nets. It taps up beautifully and I like bats with higher middles for their all-round strokeplay and decent pick-up.
I didn't take the normal 30 photos but should have enough pics to post - these will follow soon....

Love the look of that Chase bat... how would you compare it to the black cat?

I haven't used the Chase bat yet, so hard to compare! The Black Cat I am using is the best bat I've ever used....so the Chase will have to go some to be on the same level! But on first impressions, it's possible that it may compare very well.
And if it does, then I will be such a happy bunny!!

gt335 profile much?

[thaman303]

amazing profile Pete, Harlequin is originally James Laver invention . right !!!

[SillyShilly]

Looks very similar to the GT profile. It has a lot more concaving then it used to. I had a Harlequin (when it had 3 diamonds on the back) - the shape was a lot flatter but it was the shape that made it so popular.

Out of interest - do people likes this years stickers? I'm personally not a huge fan, i'll be interested to see what they do for next year.

I have to say i do like this years stickers! Havent been a huge fan of years gone by but this years have really caught my eye, especially like the blue harlequin and the gold distinction ones!

I really like that bat, it is so nice.

I think the stickers are brilliant this year, very simple, but still interesting.
