Hello all,
Today I got the chance to see the new M&H range for 2016. Tim had driven up from Taunton to show me, and then later today Lord's shops, and since they weren't at the Trade Show the other week, we are officially the first people to have seen the new range - and very impressed we are! Some notes on the new range (and some photos) below!
1. There are two new bats for this year - the MH16 and NC654. They are both exactly the same shape, just different decals, similar to how the International and CK22 were this year. Now comes my favourite part! Average edge size is 50-55mm on these bats and weights start at 2.9! Otherwise the shapes are similar to the CK22 with a fair amount of concaving, massive toe, mid-high middle etc. The MH16 is available in two price points, whilst the NC 654 is available in just one. In another very nice touch, the top bats come with a free end of season bat service from M&H which includes sanding, clean up, re-stickering etc.
2. Otherwise M&H have kept the bats the same, just dropped the International. They have also added a medium wheelie bag, which has a suitcase handle! Fans of our YouTube channel will know how much we love a suitcase handle! It is CK22 branded, but called the Type4 Wheelie bag and at £60 RRP looks to be great value for money!
3. The MH16 and NC 654 gloves are a clever hybrid design, between splits and sausage, as you can see. The NC pads are a bit more traditional than the MH16, with the sharper, pointed, cane, otherwise the new pads are similar and have all the features of a quality top end pad with embossed branding too, which I love. Just further proof of the attention to detail shown by M&H!
We will be handpicking in early December so get your pre-orders in now! The two new bats are absolute freaks, and they will be incredibly popular!
Personally I really like the new decals, and think they will be very popular - the teal and pink is very subtle and classy, whilst the electric yellow is a bit more for the in your face player! Everyone is catered for, a very good range overall I think!
