[100 not out]

what weight would that be then? looks like a lot of wood

My Distinction is 2.9 and it is huge. Youc an see my post in the PAvillion section. This is the speciality of these Disinction bats. Low middle, lot of wood and excellent pick-up and balance (just as it should be on any other 2.9 bat)

is it a bit "bottomy"
small middle?

[100 not out]

not at all. . . . it is a complete monster of a bat

[yvk3103]

is it a bit "bottomy"
small middle?

mid mid to low low middle. Hope you got the point (sorry the best I could describe the middle on the Distinctions).

[steelcouch]

sorry my description os poor.
I was guessing at it having a slightly bottomy pick up and a concentrated middle, but was wondering if it is slightly unforgiving if not hit out of the middle

looks lovely, hence the interest!

my mate brought back one of those puma/Milli's from OZ and it was an absolute belter, very similar shape!!!!

what weight is yours?

This is the shape that M&H adopted for the Distinction from May/June last season. The Distinction I bought from eBay has a simialr profile.

so this is the new shaped distinction? isnt it basically a retro?

whats the blank on the far left like?

[johan95]

Mate, which blank is which? Is the one on the far right the AS G200, or is that one the Brimble Special??

[Canners]

im guessing the one with the hammer edge is the mike special....

is that newbery a laminate as it sure as hell lokks like one

why would you want more than 1-2 bats, how many can you use at the crease ?

Because sir I assume like many of us here there is a certain joy garnered from being exposed to a myriad of world class bat makers, as we here are today. I have many more bats than shown in this thread and there are members with many more than I. I respect those who choose a more utilitarian approach, have one bat and are happy, but I do not question their choice. Perhaps you could extend a similar politeness to those who choose to have several bats, rather than making completely unnecessary negative comments. If you feel so strongly, why not start a thread to express your thoughts on the matter? I'm sure it would make for an interesting topic.

Are we going to see them individually reviewed in the future at all, especially the Millichamp and the one off Mike?
Whats the deal with the B52, sure looks like a laminate...
Nothing wrong with having more than one bat. But you've got a long way to go if you want to catch up with the Hosk!!

A  review of the black cat wouldn't go a miss ,

it looks immense !

[johan95]

I don't think he's reviewing that one as he's currently selling it on here, so using it once would knock off a lot of the bat's value. Though that bat does look a belter. I very much like your collection mate.
@oldfudger- fair enough mate, there are definitely 2 schools of thought on this, as it is true you could only use 1 bat at a time at the crease, but lots of people are very eager to try out the custom brands that this forum has to offer etc etc...as  JOn said, if you started up a thread on this matter, it would make for very interesting reading in my opinion!
