Stupid money, IMO M&H are overrated and overpriced.

In fairness with Ians bat any bat that is 3.2 should hit the ball a fair distance if it connects!

M&H bats are very nice, but definitely pricing themselves out of the market IMO

especially as theyre rarely the prettiest faces anyway

I really want another M&H, I had one and it was amazing! It seem a cheap s6 is the way to go but the middle is so low!

I am genuinely intrigued why anyone would pay these sort of prices?
M&H must have some seriously diehard followers

I agree with you Tom but is cost of clefts etc increasing as much as these bats are getting expensive?

In their defence pretty much ever bat-maker (mainstream) has increased prices. However being not one of: gm, gn, kook etc. However those sort of prices are unbelievable for an "established" brand (but not mainstream )unless it comes with factory visit and other luxuries...

How can the likes of solitaire, heritage etc sell their bats so cheap if the cost of everything else is going up??????

I think the main reason M&H have jacked their prices up is because they can afford to. If heritage, solitaire did it no-one would buy one. Whereas M&H are M&H. They have a reputation. If Laver put their prices up, they'd still sell. They will still sell because they're Millichamp and Hall.

Exactly. M&H have always been at the expensive end. To quote a Stella ad, they remain reassuringly expensive...

you did well mate, getting anything sub £200 from a VAT registered company will be a hard push....getting 20% knocked off any sale hurts :( lol
