Some of the responses are funny!
As much a fan I am of M&H, I just don't see it as a conspiracy if the want to protect their business or how they run it. No legit business would want to see their name dragged thru mud in an online forum by irate posters. Makes no business sense.
Here is what I care about:
- Amplus is a great product
- It delivered when I needed
- Compared to What I paid for my Amplus, I have collectively paid MORE for other bats (brands that are raved by forumites) that turned out to be duds. In terms of return-on-investment (ROI), Amplus was a better investment. Also, that indicates the collective/mob wisdom of the forum is not always right.
In reality, there are a handful of brands out there that consistently produce a good product. This little sherlock-holmery by the forum will not change that M&H is one of them. And, that is good enough for me.
