BAT 42 - Millichamp & Hall Harlequin

I thought I would continue on the Millichamp and Hall road as I had some pictures handy!
This one weighs in at 2'12/2'13 with a very light pick-up. It's not really a thugs bat....it is quoted as a bat for the classically elegant batter, so there goes my hope of using it!  >:(
It has 9/10 lovely grains and one little surface crack these things can happen when knocking a bat in and is supposed to be the sign of excellent willow, so I will look forward to this) This is the 2nd Harlequin I have owned and is more my weight, as I like to wield a heavier stick. The edges are nothing special but the ball response reads impressively high on the ping-o-meter!!  ;)
Not sure if it’s that well suited to my thuggish style of play – would be funny to toddle out to the middle with an elegant bat and try to hoike and slog the ball to all corners! 
I think I stated in the post for the other Harlequin, this mode l won the best bat award in 2009 for AOC, and you can understand why.....the balance, pick-up and response feel perfect!
If this bat were a girl, she would be the kind of girl you would want to marry! Good looking, elegant, well dressed, subtle curves, well balanced, and does everything well!  :D

Pics to follow........

Pete.. kavi is selling this but i wanted to confirm the weight as it's a bit heavier than what i usually wield around 2'9 - did you put it on your scales? can u remember if the pickup was uberlight?
thanks and regards,

I think it is more 2'11/12 and the pickup is very light!
The balance of these bats is great and it does feel lighter than it is!!
I personally rarely go by a specific weight, but instead see how the bat feels!!  8)

The cricket season has finished for another year.....all those kits bags put away until the new year! But as I don't play footy or rugby, I guess I'll just have to continue with this thread!!! Have made a start this morning sorting through a few bats and will just have to decide which will be bat number 43!!
Photo session scheduled for tomorrow so keep your eyes peeled chaps.  ;)

I wonder what Pete's average is (that is, how many runs he made last year per bat owned!)  :D
