Title: M&H on Sky
Post by: Talisman on March 19, 2012, 02:22:12 PM: Saw this and it made me laugh, 2.32 clip and watch Nick in the background showing us either he hasn't a clue about handle shaping or it is simply a ploy to demostrate the time and effort that goes into removing a gram of willow and cane, for those who are interested the handle will be finished on June 14th at 4.35pm...

Post by: Red Ink Cricket on March 19, 2012, 02:29:07 PM: thats great.

im not sure he actually removed any willow/handle during that. im guessing he gets paid by the hour which is why the bats are so expensive.

Post by: johnnyw on March 19, 2012, 02:35:43 PM: Ha that is a pathetic attempt at trying to look busy. Must not be selling many bats if they are taking that long to make....

Post by: Talisman on March 19, 2012, 02:42:41 PM: Would have been more impressive to see 5 bats shaped in that time, not a big ask for a Pro.
Title: Re: M&H on Sky
Post by: ProWannabe88 on March 19, 2012, 02:50:45 PM: Why bother though?? Why stand there and do that for the sake of a bit of tv coverage?? Why not actually do the handle.... Surely that would have been the right thing to do? Or be shaving a bat down etc. Jesus even gripping the bloody thing would have looked more authentic than that shadow shaving effort. Granted I can't do it but it just looks a bit daft

Post by: ProWannabe88 on March 19, 2012, 03:12:49 PM: Personally I like millichamp bats, very very expensive but lovely nontheless. Just pointless 'pretending' if you can actually do the job.

I'm big fan of M&H gear, have couple of their bats and other bits and bobs are en route.

However, please see this;

Post by: uknsaunders on March 19, 2012, 05:13:15 PM: nobody hates M&H it was just a rubbish effort to look busy. We have plenty of experts on the subject in this forum and they should've come to us first for "creative input" :D

Post by: Nickauger on March 19, 2012, 07:24:07 PM: If you weren't all looking at the batmaking techniques and listening to the interview instead lol. It wouldn't have even registered!

Post by: ppccopener on March 19, 2012, 07:56:29 PM: True the video clip does look pretty naff but I would certainly not say a picture and the details on the cricket insight is gospel.plenty of people on this forum with inflated opinions of themselves and happy to dumb down other companies.ive just picked up a 2nd hand distinction,the guy who sold it had the bat making experience and yes it was totally hand made,no machines..
Whether every single bat is I would not like to say because I don't work there.

It takes a lot to run a brand and even more so when it's as successful as M&H. Love Their bats but just too expensive. I'm sure some or most brands have part made's, it just makes business sense.
