Millichamp & Hall Amplus Review

[Cover Drive]

After reading John's review on Amplus I was tempted to try one and see one. So after few days out of blue I was being offered this Amplus (pictures are below ) for a bargain price in my opinion. I did my maths and found out that if I had bought it in M&H's sale in November/December it wouldn't have been cheap this cheap for me so I tossed the coin and bought it.

The bats weight is around 2.14ish including two grips, counter balance, toe guard, scuff sheet etc etc. I use 2.9ish bat so comparing those two numbers you will find it quite heavier but believe me these numbers in this case are irrelevant.

When I hold the bat believe me or not I hardly feel it is 2.14 because of light light pickup and brilliant balance. The bat is perfectly balanced and it feels much lighter than its weight. As I earlier said I use around 2.8/2.10ish bats and this bat more or less feels the same, in fact, it feels and picks up much lighter than my MB Malik Limited Edition.

I haven't played with the bat yet, however, I tested out the response of the bat with a good quality ball and it was responsive and looked good!.

Again not sure what else to write but if anyone has any question(s) please don't hesitate to ask me.

Enjoy the pictures!

another great bat. whats the edge thickness on the toe area? is it knocked in? and how is the stroke around 4-6 inches from the toe area?

 

[Opener]

Great bat, but isn't the middle a bit too high for the wickets here. How is the finishing. I still thing your Salix/Laver is the best finished bat.

I haven't used it yet so I'm not exactly sure if its too high or not. People said same for Harlequin but I used it and it is good bat for both front and back foot shots.

As far finishing is concerned Salix, MB LE, Laver, Puma and Newbery are top class. M&H is not near them.

Will let you guys know how it plays and where exactly middle is when I use it.

Bounce on pitches here is not tooo low, it is normal and you sometime have to go on backfoot as well.

CD Bhai probably owns 50% of the bats in Canada!

Anyways I followed your other thread and Mashallah you have a great collection of cricket equipment. reminds me of another friend who was crazy abt cricket equipment but....

All I gotta say is that May your love for the game be this strong forever!

Yes, for some reason it doesn't feel very heavy to be honest.
