I'm pretty surprised M&H have done a 'player' range of kit. I always thought it looked a bit tacky and wouldn't have thought a brand like M&H would do it.

Craig Kieswetter hardly fits their classic image.

Surprised that no one has had a rant about the price yet.

It's expensive for every UK buyer but for everyone else in the world it's the same price as any other top of the range bat. That's why I didn't hesitate in getting one.

Look what I just received in the post! Must be one of the first to get one - as it only got officially launched today!

I went to Taunton on Monday for a referb on my Amplus and they had one in the shop. The pick up and response was fantastic so ordered one there and then and it arrived with my referbed Amplus today! Great service again from M&H and I guess that is why I keep going back (since 1989)

Both bats are 2.9lb the CK22 is huge for the weight with 42mm edges the Amplus has 35mm edge. The CK22 has a much flatter face than their other bats so will also be interested to play with a flatter faced bat.

I have not had a chance to try the rebound on the CK22 yet but all the signs are positive, the one I saw in Taunton on Monday had a fantastic response with the mallet and was not even knocked in at that point. I will report back when I get chance to have a knock.

Looks good mate. I was hoping for some reviews of these as i only had a brief moment with the samples at the trade show. I really like the stickers and the design of the range as a whole, especially the keeping gloves.

Ultimately if you love it then that is all that matters, but it is a very expensive piece of kit. It does beg the question, can any bat be worth that much?

The colour scheme is growing on me and the bat looks huge for the weight. I can't justify �200 for a bat, let alone the price of a CK22, shame.

How much are these bats?

Very nice bat mate, I got there email today and couldn't bring myself to delete it, just in case, you never know when another impulse purchase will occur.

Is it actually 2.9 in current state? I have always found if you wAnt a 2.9 from M&H then you need to order a 2.7 as they weigh there bats naked.

looks like M&H need to work on their finishing for bats worth that amount.

How do they justify the price of these bats??

Love the profile of the CK22. Does it have a square toe, or is it the picture?

Very tempted to get one myself

Some can afford them and they have a rep that supports it, rightly or wrongly.

I agree with Mattw, they could have polished it. Chunky though and I would expect the performance is there.

mattw · « **Reply #27 on:** November 28, 2013, 07:47:32 PM »

It looks as though the MK22 bat is polished or oiled at least(not sure what's going on with the amplus), however poor finishing to leave so many sandpaper marks on the bat - not that it'll effect the bat in anyway, just from an aesthetic point of view it doesn't justify the price tag.

ItsJustCricket · « **Reply #28 on:** November 28, 2013, 07:49:23 PM »

We are selling them for �399.99. I am going down to Taunton on Monday to pick out these bats and more, and we have four CK22s on order - two of which have been pre-ordered...

If anyone fancies a look at either of the other two, please give me a shout after Monday!

ItsJustCricket · « **Reply #29 on:** November 28, 2013, 07:51:15 PM »

Remember, all these M&H ones are knocked in (by hand) before going out for sale, so their finishing will never be on a par with Salix, Affinity et al.
