Millichamp and Hall Distinction- Review!
« on: August 10, 2010, 06:38:14 PM »
As I said in another topic recently, I was thinking of picking up a monster 3lb 2oz Distinction... I went up today and got it! It is literally one of (if not) the biggest bats I have ever seen.

Specs-
Weight-3lb 2oz
Profile- Huge edges, mid to low middle.
Grains- 11 Grains, most straight with some blemishes on one edge and the back (not bothered at all)
Price- £220 reduced from £300
Pics-





2p piece on the edge here....


Let me know what you think, Ian

Looks fantastic, not like the normal distinction profile.

Very classy stickers aswell... you must have some guns to wield that!

What profile are the harlequins like these days?

cheers guys, yeah i'll have to spend a bit of time in the gym this winter!! but in the shop i had a good think and played a lot of 'shadow shots' and i should be fine with it.

and i didnt look at the harlequins too much today, but the middles are pretty high on them. theres a big sale down at m&h at the moment so get yourself a bargain!!

I think that normally i would be inclined to say that that £220 is way too much for a bat - but i know you've always supported millichamp, you like their gear, their a local brand and at the end of the day they can provide you with what you want - it's good old fashioned brand allegiance and i like it!!!!

Absolutely right Dom, it's just guaranteed quality that does it for me. I went up with a mate who is in his late 20's and we both agreed that we have never seen a bad performing Millichamp! So easy decision really!

That isn't a stock shape is it? The ones i have seen have had a low middle with a huge spine.

Any way, looks good. Just don't go selling this!

The Distinction (or atleast the one I have) made me an overnight fan of M&H. Beautiful balance and goes like a gun.
This one has a very different profile to the one I have which corresponds more to Liam's description above. But this 3 pounder looks absolutely humungous. Would't want to bowl at you!!

just a quick update on the bat-

A few mates have used it in games pretty successfully, one of them is a first teamer who says it is the best bat he has ever used....

Taps up really nicely. Great bat worth the money!
