Hi All,
Thought I would post some photos of my 40th birthday present. I was lucky enough to receive a new and awesome M&H Amplus 2.10oz with 8 straight and evenly spaced grains. This bat is huge and is a show stopper, but most importantly this bat is so balanced and the ping is extraordinary and picks up 2oz lighter than its static weight.
The service from Nick at M&H was first class receiving the bat in 10 days and I am in Australia, I know these bats are expensive but boy what a bat it absolutely pings like no other.(http://[IMG]http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z366/jjg140271/IMG_4951.jpg)[/img](http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z366/jjg140271/IMG_4945.jpg)[/img]

This is the first time I have posted photos so I hope I have got it right.

Nice & chunky with a nice high middle for those hard aussie tracks! Lovely looking bat.
-
lovely looking bat mate and happy returns mate
is the middle more extensive then usual on the bat or more concentrated
-
In fairness that is a lot better looking than some.
Glad you like it.
-
Well first and foremost happy birthday fella. Great looking bat, high middle for those hard Aussie decks. Looks a stunner,saran a few in the flesh and they are all HUGE. This seems no different :)
-
Middle is quite long which did surprise me, reminds me of an over sized Thruxton
-
Hope you had a great Birthday - obviously someone loves you very much indeed if they got you a pressie like that!
2'10 and picks up like 2'8, and that size? That's a pretty huge bat with a price to match! But if it goes that well, then can't go wrong! I suspect that it would make a few bowlers sweat just looking at it.
Hope you have some fun with that baby this season! 8)
-
Thanks Pete.
I was a bit cynical about the Amplus and probably would never of bought one for myself as I tend to by all of my bats from Talisman.
But the Wife and kids did very well and this thing is an absolute gun and would highly recommend the Amplus to any of the forum members.
-
To be fair, I have several Talisman bats and they are top performing bats!
So it was brave of your wife and kids to risk another brand. But it sounds like they did a great job! ;)
-
Yep a good job but my son did most of the ground work as he is a bat nerd just like his Dad lol!!!
-
lovely looking bat you've got yourself there, i hope i get something like that when i turn 40........
many happy returns matey
-
Judging from other Amplus' seen on here, you've got a belter there!
-
Looks really Fantasic, quite similar in shape to my Hawk Xbow players.
-
Looks a lovely bat, the shape is very similar to my M&H Distinction. Hope it plays well!
-
Thanks to everyone who has posted and kindly wished me a happy birthday although an unwanted one LOL!!
-
Many Happy Returns John.
Fantastic bat. . . . . . .can you please post a pic looking at the bat from the toe upwards. . .this will give an idea of the concaving. Thanks
-
Will do tomorrow
-
Beautiful looking bat! Love the profile and heard nothing but good things about M+H bats. Congrats at keeping going at 40 too!!
-
40, I hear life starts at 40!!! and no I'm not 40 yet, nowhere near.....

Thanks for that for that Mike, just made me feel absolutely fantastic LOL!!!

You're looking far too skinny for my liking - you need a good meal inside you!
-
I'm 127KG, that's 20 stone in old money, for that to look skinny is testament to your failing eyesight.
-
Your skinnier than me (well you were last week!)
I must be an umpa-lumpa!
-

And my missus keeps telling me to lose half a stone at 6'5 and 98kg! Makes me feel a lot better.
-

That or you ate a couple.....
-
bloody hell your all giants i am just under 5ft 8in
-
4ft is a lot under 5ft 8in, but at least you don't have small man syndrome Dave.... I can lift you up next week so you can see over the bar when it's your round.....
-
Ha you make me feel trim mike I'm only 118kg at last count but 6ft4 so hide it well
-
You're not in our club Dave, your weird and diffeent.
what's the weather like down there?
-
Ha you make me feel trim mike I'm only 118kg at last count but 6ft4 so hide it well
I would have had you a lot under that, now I feel better...
-
How do you convert lbs to kgs?
-
Eat more....
-
See I hide it well was around that last time I converted it but lost a little since then about 16 1/2 st now so prob less but am 6ft4
-
I am 6ft and 90kg but not in your league boys, what's in the water over there??
-

Female hormones. Lots of them.
-
Just converted it I am 107kg ha ha feeling good
-
Bruce is still on the phone to Nasa, they have their top men on it but will not have his weight calculated until Tuesday..... something to do with his gravitational pull.
-
Be nice to thinus cattus or he will get ya
-
Wow I weigh nothing lol :| - I'm 5 11 and 60kg (9.5 Stone)... :) - might be a contender with Sam, perhaps I will be the new subject of Tom's abuse, but for weight not height lol! ;)
-
Ha your half the man mike is Johan

You are still pretty young though, so although skinny now, beer will help you fill out.

Isn't gravitational field directly related to mass of the body?
-

I know haha... :) - Quite the coincidence...

Yep, you're right, still growing and bulking up... :) - though decided to work on leg strength for bowling and keeping now...possibly upper body, but I am doing it slowly. Though I have started training on my own outdoors now, taking the initiative to make sure I have a good year this year! :)
-
It's great to spend time with Mike and would be with roco too - being an absolut tiny 6'3 and just over 16 stone, I am almost a male version of Kate Moss in comparison! Suck those cheeks in!!
-
You bit*h pete and after we had a lovely coke after the gm trip and I bowled spin at you not like I did to Tom ;) I felt sorry for sam and Tom lost them a few times
-
You and Mike are both pure men....100% fella!
I would put Bruce in that bracket normally as well, but he may well be fitting into the slimmer model category if all this weight is falling off him!
-
Crisis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I've just found where Missus Fattus has hidden the Garibaldi's - oooo the temptation!
and for the record, I'm clocking in at 114.75kgs and 6ft tall so take that all you poofy wimpoids!!
-
Are you sure the decimal place is right???
1147.5KG rings a bell....
-
Attention all shipping - the supertanker is turning for the second run!!!
-
Saw a couple of Ampli today and just seem like a concaved Newbery GT. Not too impressed tbh.
-
Saw a couple of M&H bats at Owzat today, they were massive and picked up very well. Easily the biggest bats in the shop out of the ones I picked up, I just wish I could afford one.
-
i love the look and feel of the amplus, may have to get one and sell one of my other bats, the dilemma
