Perhaps M&H and New Balance come from the same factory

[WalkingWicket37]

One of my lads I coach is M&H sponsored, and when he was down picking up his kit he was told that M&H make a lot of NB bats. May not make the pro's but from what i'm told they make the regular bats

Hmmmm, that throwSS an intereSSting Spanner into the workSS...

I thought FC Sodhi made New Balance and SS made M&H M&H made their batSS in England

I wasn't at M&H factory with the lad, I work for his dad and was asked to take him but couldn't, but I have been told several times by my boss that M&H make the NB bats down in Taunton

New Balance bats for retail are made in India.

I think we get it, you think they're made by SS

I didn't think they even made the majority of M&H bats there any more, let alone other brands lol

Lol they don't even make m and h bats anymore.

I believe that up until now he's still using his old GMs re-stickered.  Now he's going to be back in the UK I imagine that'll change for the English summer

I read somewhere that he went through a lot of bats last years. Like 30 or something. So it seems unlikely that he's still using his old GMs.

Considering he got his bat custom done there, chose the profile shape, suggests they do make (at least some) M&H bats there.
Only just seen the IJC thread about M&H... meant to be doing a job application but got a bit sidetracked. Didn't mean to reopen the can of worms! Just reporting what I've been told.

I'm sure kippax have made him a few, though I think it was a few years ago.

Exactly Vitas, last time I read was that all the retail for NB cricket comes from FC Sondhi. Also you can spot the similarities in Softs of Protos (FC sondhi's Own brand) and NB.

That's who I thought made his bats aswell

They look and feel like Sondhi made Slazengers.

It seems likely that he might have visited them at some point.

Wouldn't surprise me if he'd had a few sticks from them as they'd be his "local" bat maker I guess.
I beleive it may have been you who mentioned it previously, but a couple of the England ODI players use Kippax made bats too
