I think this bat looks awesome, the swell looks absolutely huge and I can imagine it feeling good in the hands.....

I don't know why it's being criticised so much :s

Would you pay �350 for it?

i'm critisising the price tag as opposed to the bat. I bet it plays just as well as alll the other M&H bats out there but is it worth the �100 more?

Whats cheap?

For that i would not pay on looks alone more than �120 pound.........

I know it only looks but looks grade 3 to me

And lets be fair most of us on here buy bats on looks and hear say.....I do

Canners · « **Reply #66 on:** January 19, 2011, 11:17:27 PM »

Probably not, but if I was paying that money I'd probably want to feel it in my hands first, and I don't know how this picks up... However I know from first hand experience m&h do produce a bloody good bat!!

Having used my Talisman for the first time against leather tonight I'm pretty sure i'l never pay more than �200 for a bat again... Trust me it flies

Cant say. But a good few quid off.

Been thinking . . . is this bat just a gimmick. I mean profile and size all this talk of oversized etc. Is it all (No Swearing Please) or is there something to it.

What's wrong with a good old classical shape. Why are they so out of fashion.

Canners i agree there 100 per cent that is my limit hence no new Lavers...

That bat is not worth 2 of any other off this forum not a shout

I like M&H's ethos, style and reputation but this bat looks disappointing for �300+. For that money customers should have both high quality cosmetics and performance. For a start, is that really Grade 1 willow as stated in M&H's description of the product?
In my experience of viewing and purchasing some bats last year, buyers would simply not receive this with a top of the range Salix or Kookaburra , to quote both a traditional UK based manufacturer and a large brand with overseas supply into the UK. No doubt there are others too that can equally be relied on for �300+ internet purchasing.

Finally, thank you for the photos. Was the Amplus destined for someone else hence why there was not an opportunity to keep it given the fairly small priced difference to a Distinction (if you wanted to?). Someone on here is waiting for it?

Having now seen a few maybe 3/4 top of the range M&H bats

My own Distinction
Ian Buchanans, Yash's, and now this Amplus.

It is becoming evident that M&H may use oversized clefts for the Distinction and Amplus bat, they charge top dollar for these, but is it Grade 1 willow. as defined by wrights, greens etc

do wrights sell oversized clefts in grade 1. is it pot luck. i think in all honesty it is quite easy for a batmaker to say that theres a blemish on this cleft or the grains arent quite straight, but we grade on performance.

they way i see it . . .it can be a way of increasing profits.

buy the lower grade / cheaper stuff and sell at top prices.

anyone got a distinction or amplus with nicer grains.

Hato agree with most sentiments on here. I'd be very unlikely to part with more than �200 for a bat. I've not yet done it, and given the quality of the H4L, the M&H and others that I've got my dirty little mits on, it would have to be something incredibly special (note, this could mean, for example, Ali Cook's Oblivion with which he scored his 766 runs in Autralia) to get me to part with the cash....

Lots of companies use 'oversized' clefts - so much so that oversized is becoming the norm for some!

I had a quick hit with one of these last week, was similar to this but with a slightly lower middle and was much prettier, if the guy has it along this weekend I'll try and snap some pictures. The same guy also had a Harlaquin, an Original and a L and W Signature which were a similar weight but tiny in comparison with the Amplus.

He'd also picked up one of the L and W 20 20 bats which was a fair sized lump of wood.

Awesome bat but not worth the price compared to other bats that have been bought through connections from here.
