The bat making art of kashur(kashmiri) batmakers is quite reminiscent of biblical times......man they still use the age old techniques and tools.....

Their primary target is QUANTITY rather than QUALITY...............................

btw great work CD

JazakAllah Khair Ummer Bhai!

Since you're from Kashmir do you know anything about this factory?

i don`t know the inside out of these places but yes i know where exactly these are,these bat manufacturing units are located about 30-40 kms from my city.......

as i mentioned in my earlier posts in other thread that the quality of the willow is not actually that bad as it is made out to be.....the main problem with these guys is the lack of basic funding and hence their techniques lack research and the tools are not up to date(rather they are primitive).....

pressing on the bats is almost non-existent and the ACHILLES seems to be the handles,which i must admit are horrible

thanks uzair bhai finally got to see them and are they all kashmir willow
