They actually arent terrible, far more better than say Reebok.
They obviously arent sourced from Nike, and I believe Aero are the people behind them, just sourcing as Nike bats.

Post by: Watsontotty on August 10, 2010, 08:29:02 AM: Well if they are out of AERO it will be Marty Graham who will possibly be making the bats, if that's confirmed then i would be tempted but only if its Marty making them.

Post by: Philip@Aero on August 11, 2010, 10:13:14 PM: Yes these are genuine Nike bats. They are available now in Australia and New Zealand. They are made in India under contract for Nike.

They will be available in the UK pre-Xmas.

Gidday Rich. Marty has historically made our Aero elite player bats and that is likely to continue.
