Title: M&H 12 days of Christmas
Post by: thegowerwaft on December 04, 2014, 10:21:43 AM
Folks,

Sorry if you have already seen this via their newsletter.  However, if anyone is looking for a new M&H - then they are running their 12 days of Christmas through their newsletter subscription service.  You can sign up from here:

Might be a deal over the next few weeks.

I think this makes the overpriced M&H bats only slightly less overpriced, but that's my opinion...

Have they adopted the CK styling across all of their range now?

225 quid for a pro grade bat is a decent price. Remember the affinity carbine sport is 250, and that's a cheap version off the affinity carbine(350plus) (no issue with affinity on pricing,  merely an example)

I just got a 2.14 Carbine, its right up your street @smilley792! I've had a few M&H's and whilst alot of people say they are expensive, the ones i've had have been very good performing bats and worth the money paid imo

I do get what you're saying but there pricing is a joke - someone please explain the below;

MH87 - 'Pro Grade' - £320
MH96 - 'Pro Grade' - £320
MH09 - 'Pro Grade' - £420
MH11 - 'Pro Grade' - £420
International - 'Pro Grade' - £450
CK22 - 'Pro Grade' - £450

They're all pro grade, they're all hand made - how can they justify a £130 price difference across the range for a different set of bloody stickers - anyone who buys anything from them above the MH87 and MH96 is being mugged off IMO

They would probably say extra money is for over sized cleft but I think it was said in some other thread that they aren't. Its probably that the more popular shapes are more expensive?  The only issue I have is that from the pictures i've seen its quite hard to tell the difference between the new Master shape, the CK22 & the International. They do look very similar. @ItsJustCricket was handpicking yesterday i think so hopefully he'll post about the trip and the differences in the shapes.

Regardless of the prices and comparisions if someone wants one enough they'll buy one.

Supply and demand? You would expect they sell more internationals and ck22s so charge extra for these.

Atleast they haven't added idiotic tag lines like "specially pressed for extra performance".......

the stickers are slightly different and don't have CK's signature, and of course the colours are different, but the profile shapes are identical.

Very good willow quality at M&H yesterday.  Better than last year for me, especially in looks...

As an Australian, the International is one that really appeals with the green and gold colour scheme. I want to own a M&H bat before I finish playing cricket, this one could tempt me!

They look even nicer in the flesh!  :) Monstrous bats...

Going back to an earlier point, I have noticed that the International bats have slightly chunkier toes than the CK22, but that might be just a quirk of the batch we took.  Otherwise the profile shape is exactly the same...

I'm no Australian but I really like the look of the International!! If I hadn't got the amplus off you Paul I'd have been asking for a 2.14 international. I know they are expensive but I think they really are great bats

My favourite of the new range is the international. Is it a previous shape?
Title: Re: M&H 12 days of Christmas
Post by: JB on December 30, 2014, 07:51:06 PM
I think Paul said previously that it is a very similar shape to the CK22, which isn't a bad thing!! The one I've got has a very big middle
