Post by: richyreed on July 04, 2020, 08:57:21 PM
Documentary from Discovery showing how a cricket bat is made - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnArkEguLIo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnArkEguLIo)

There is footage from Sareen sports and J.S Wright.

Some interesting names from the SS factory!

I think they are probably bats they have ‘on file’ from various manufacturers in order to study and copy shapes and other features

There’s a kookaburra bat in there, and they are made by SG, always have been (since being Indian made at least)

I reckon @KettonJake has it spot on,

We know kook are sg, NB are sondhi, and salix salix

I reckon most brands will have sample shapes of competitors

The fact that the superior Salix finish can still be identified in an average quality screenshot says it all for me.

No, not really. It was the sharpie written "Salix" on the toe that gave it away.

Maybe they are samples and so is M&H. :D

It probably helps them when players or customers have seen certain shapes and want the same or variations.

Makes perfect sense for a bat manufacturer with a large customer base.

Unless Salix have bought a new lathe, none of those 'Salix' marked bats are Salix made anyway.

That Kesel Sport in the top left corner looks massive no matter who made it. Top profile.

I think you may have missed the point.
Not that that's anything new...
