Maybe not allowed to make certain shapes for other companies

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

That would explain why he cant make M&H profiles, they probably have a contract done to say he cant reproduce the shapes

MH Distinction has arrived, 2lb 11oz picks up quite light.

Too be honest a bit disappointed with the shape and the handle.

The handle feels very thin and not as oval as i would like and the middle is quite high about 10cm higher than the old model!!!!!!!!!!!! The swell is longer and basically starts about 6cm from the bottom all the way up the face. The toe is extremely thick compared to the old model and the swell is less at around 68mm compared to 72mm on my last one.

13 grains and darkwood on the inside for about 4 grains.

Overall it may be a blessing in disguise, i think i can use this on the bouncer tracks and the old one on the damp low tracks so i have two superb match bats.

The Quantum LE is going back not for me.

Lovely clean face, 10 grains, nice handle, 38mm edges but hardly any swell and at 2lb 9 with excellent pick up it feels like a 2lb 6 kids bat ........ unless someone wants it for £200.

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

I have got rid of the Quantum LE ... £185 was all edge and nothing else

Im now stuck with the dilemma of whether to go for a

Legend £225

Kahuna 1000/Recoil 900 or Blade 950 £165

GM LE EPic £200

Puma Bionic 6000 £185

Do people have any experience of these bats, I had a kahuna 1000 which i got for somone and i didnt think it was great for a £400 bat.

My MH has a high middle so i want a low middle bat ......... think im swaying with the Legend.

If you're not finding bats that suit you, I think you should be strongly considering a custom bat from one of the 'smaller' but in many eyes, better brands. If you have a lot to spend, I'd go for something like a Laver, H4L, Redback, Aldo, basically any smaller brand that will make you a great bat that suits your needs.

Out of those four, I would go for either the Epic or the Legend. The Legend is probably a better bat, and paying an extra £25 for it is worth it, though I am assuming all these bats are brand new. :) You could probably get a bat made to your own specs for you from a sponsor on this forum for about the same price, or less!
