Okay, I've seen several how their made ball videos, but this was a little different. that laser etching the name in the ball was kind of neat.

The laser etching was pretty cool. How do the other companies do it?

I would assume it would have to be a similar process unless they are still doing it with a machine using a actual engraving template with a rotating tool. Like a much more automated version of what PSO's used to use to put your name on the ball if they even do that anymore. I noticed some companies got lazy and it's not even etched it's sorta painted on

Besides laser etching, some companies use a computer controlled engraver, which are the main two. Motiv has their NeoMark system where the logos are actually part of the ball.
