I think by "Screaming cat" people may mean Puma bats.Julian Millichamp does make the AU Puma bats.he has also trained a number of quality bat makers including Paul Bradbury and James Laver.I think you need to bear in mind that if a class batmaker is working with a top piece of willow,the results will be fairly similar.I have used practically every type,make of bat commercially available.The only thing I can say for sure is that I have had some name brand planks,quite a few to be honest.I have never had a truly handmade bat that has been any less than good,some have been very good some have been awesome!Look forward to trying more bats of the custom variety,if there's any new ones left for me to try!!

Okay I just had another net with mine. I was in far better touch that last week and the bat felt great today. I found the middle a bit more often and am loving the fact that even little flicks, if I middle and time them, they are racing off the bat

Hey Symmo,

The cost varies so I suggest u contact Bill to taylor make it to your exact specifications and he can also advise u of the costs. Mine was over $330 AUD. The red label ones are closer to the $400 mark.

BTW, I went to Millichamp & Hall website and could not locate any screaming cat bats. Do u have a link or site for this brand? Ta.

Hi guys,

Firstly, i didnt think my simple and unbiased review would stir up a huge verbal fight.

Secondly, i think screaming cat is a slang for Slazenger. Correct me if I'm wrong. (i've never heard of a screaming cat bat in Oz)

Finally, my Fusion is awesome. Played a match on the weekend and the opposition has been put on notice. The middle is slightly higher than normal. Everytime I found the middle it was gone to the boundary or close to it. Now all I need is more practice so I can find the middle everytime.

 Cheers

Boonie

Hi guys,

   i thinks you know who i am talking about, we at Fusion try to be fair and helpfull to all you guys,it would be nice if you could keep your personal remarks to PMs or e-mails ,it does nobody any good at all to slang in public,and with our brand name caught in the middle, is not fair .

 

  Henry i think you should give all the details about the returned bat!

 as not to give us a possible bad name,

So guys lets get back to discussing cricket matters, so that we may enjoy everyones points of views regarding cricket.

 

  Take care,

              Bill.

Could you please tell me about your laver and wood. Did you get it directly from them or through another website like middlepeg. As much detail as possible would be much appreciated.

Considering we go to the same school and i was the one who got you interested in fusion and laver&wood and if i had not you would most definately not have either of the bats i feel i know you quite well, as we also spoke about fusion today at lunch time.
