I've picked up 100's of the things so I'm also probably getting used to it more than you who would have only seen one for the first time.

Pricing is always a difficult one, you don't want to cheapen the brand whilst high prices put people off. They're all being handmade in England at the moment so it's difficult to sell below £159 especially with retailers wanting to sell them. There are plenty of new ideas and production avenues to be looked into anyway so prices may change. We're also in talks with a number of players with regard to using the bat for the remainder of 09 and also some taking it on for 2010 so it's all very interesting at the moment.

see where you coming from

maybe get some kashmirs in? coz i know a lot of people could buy a great handmade bat for excatly the same price. Where if they see a cheaper kashy they might be a bit more tempted to have a little dabble and hit with 1

Tom, I'm really sorry if I'm asking you to repeat yourself - however, can you tell me the difference between the two versions?

MMi3 has a blade 33% shorter than a regular bat. CoR3 is just an inch shorter, like the Newbery Uzi.

Both have the splice inside the handle and the CoR3 also has a slightly flexier handle than a regular cane handle.

Saw them in the flesh at lords on thursday, still don't get them.In fact I hate them! In mind normal bats will always prosper as shown by number of pros using the moongoose style. If someone used it in our club cricket you would think wxxxxx

No-one is currently using Mongoose style bats due to contractual reasons. It's not because they don't like them, although I will admit a number wouldn't use them. But there is similar number of other players who love the idea and should be using them soonish.

We were due to have bats being used in the Ashes but that fell through 2 days before the 1st Test for a reason beyond our (or his!) control!

I saw the 2 different mongoose bats at a retailer in Staffs and they were really annoying.
