I have a fellow member and good friend who has so far done a little testing and a few reviews on 5 or 6 bats so far, and therefore I will be continuing with this topic very soon, as I still have dozens of top notch bats to post photos of. And I will include a secondary review from the guy who is helping me test them for a totally unbiased opinion!
So more will follow in the next week or two.  ;)

Me! I've had a knock with about 10-15 of Pete's bats so far and have another 5 to get through this week! I have been giving Pete my thoughts on them and I am sure, once he finds the time, he'll be sticking up a few of them on here!

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........

Your a gentleman! Looking forward to having a hit with a few DF's. I used to have a Magnum back in the day and have very fond memories of it. Since then it's been a brand that hasn't really popped up on the radar but they always used to have a great rep.
