Post by: richyreed on January 22, 2018, 11:50:56 AM: Saw these videos on YouTube by chance, quite an interesting albeit short look at some of the bat making factories in India.

There were also orange predator stickers though and orange Powerbow Gen X Stickers from about 3 years ago that we’re green

Caught one of these today on YouTube after it was recommended on the side bar. Good videos - would love to see longer, uncut, versions.

Interesting to see Kippax handles at 43 seconds and a Scoop being cut out at 51 seconds.

Post by: Tom on September 25, 2018, 04:11:28 PM: Guessing they're made out there (the handles)

Post by: Novak on September 25, 2018, 04:18:08 PM: Ahh the handles are imported

If anything it just proves the skill of the batmakers even more, no need for fancy machinery!

Or just how little they get paid! There'd be no way it'd get done like that in any western factory, too inefficient.
