VVS Laxmans Bat
« on: January 06, 2012, 12:38:27 AM »

Hey guys,

i have been watching the Australia vs India test over the last month and i have been wondering what the hell is laxmans bat.

Well i finally have seen it up close, it appears to be a "Protos" bat.

Has anyone ever seen or heard about this brand??

Cheers,

Nick

They are FC Sondhi's brand, a very famous company in cricket manufacturing circles and have made for Puma, Slaz, GM, GN.  They haven't publicised their own brand much until I guess now

It's several years since I visited them, but at the time, they used to make most of Slazenger. I saw GN helmets and softs being made, though GN now have their own factory.  I saw Puma bats, Kooka. I remember them saying they made something like 30,000 Slaz bats with the with the white bandage style covering let alone anything else.

They are very efficient, make different items in different buildings so the dust doesn't get on everything. In Indian terms, you could say it is one of, if not the best factory setups and environments to work in.

They make Slazenger and Adidas now, not sure who else. Very nice people and obviously are quite cheap so great value.

The Gloves are VERY good. Pads im not as wrapped on as i like ones with a spot for your knee to sit.
