In fairness, there's a decent size stack of clefts in there - clearly at least some are being made. Given that this is a film made by an outside party, I wonder how much of it is M&H making big claims and how much of it is a filmmaker who might not know much about cricket getting overexcited by seeing a couple of photos and hearing 'oh yeah we made some for Sachin a while back' ha.

I'd be more than reasonable with them if they charged 200 a bat or so.
The Burnley shops never gonna sell owt at their full prices, never in a million years.
The old boy in there has set the shop up for his daughter, they might sell the odd bit of kit , but nothing else.
The back of the premises is an air con place,(his main business) so she won't be worried about rent or anything.
They have a personal link to the Taunton business, hence the setting up of the shop.

I have team mate is going to M&H for a bespoke for his 18th birthday. I've told him to not accept any part made stuff and to literally ask for a raw cleft or a cleft with a handle. Then he needs to sit over the guy while he makes it and not leave his side until it's complete and in his hands. Don't want them slipping off and shoving a part made into the vice, then charging £500!

This kind of smoke and mirrors makes my blood boil, but many brands pretend to be something their not.

There were hints of it on here.

Personally felt the emphasis by Salix on their production methodology was targeting those brands which were not fully transparent on the provenance of their bats, or overselling the UK handmade image.

That said, the M&H I have is a very good bat, others have said the same about theirs. Their softs are innovative and decent quality (haven't experienced 2016 range). So, something good is going on.

Ha I don't think anyone is doubting that not all their bats are made there anymore! But clearly still have the capability/materials to make some at least. Either that or they really are going all in for the deception! Such a shame, I haven't used a recently made one but the old made in Somerset M&Hs were such good bats.

40 clefts will be enough for bespoke/experience day.

But they wouldn't be able to use these clefts in a day would they? Aren't handles normally left overnight to dry before being shaped...

I'd put money on the experience day just being a handled part-made that's then shaped in front of you
