Sorry.....i didnt realise that they can do that...surely thats false advertising?

When they show an advert with Broad holding an Addidas bat, one would assume it is Addidas and if you want to buy a Addidas bat is would be made from the same place.

Maybe i am naive .... but i am a little shocked.

In the advert he probably is holding an Adidas bat. When he goes out to the middle, he isn't necessarily.

So who do imagine manufactures Adidas bats, Mr Naive?

Adidas have/did have a contract with Hawk in the past for their repairs and pro bats so not a massive surprise.

It's a shame Hawk are oft forgotten about when talking about top UK batmakers.

Not least because of the involvement of a certain Mr Facer?

@Maverick79 So how comes Broad has addidas on it? why not Hawk?

Hawk have a contract with Adidas to make their top range bats I believe @Churchy1989

Assumed they had an Addidas work shop, but i assume most of their stuff is from India....

So it is actually cheaper to get one from Hawk Direct, which will be the same quality as the top make.

Their manufacturing is out-sourced. SS are currently thought to make their bats.

Got my first ever bat from Bernie, visited his workshop in Buckden.

He was brilliant at pressing the middle out of bats...

I thought that might be the case. But he did help get the brand established and is an interesting link in the pod-shaving family tree, is he not?
