This was a purchase on Ebay of a Sub bat direct from Garrard & Flack.
I spotted the listing early doors so had the choice of all of them, 7 to choose from. They were £85 delivered.
Number 6 also caught my eye, it was more grainy albeit less straight and too light for me if I were to use it, the Sub aspect oddly wasn't specified so was a bit unsure because of this. Equally, it may have been the pin knots visible on the rear and someone has picked up a corker.
This one number 4 seemed to be better cosmetically (although both 4 and 6 listed as G2), it was Sub because of a rear pressing crack but at least I knew why and it was photographed clearly enough so no surprises.
So pulled the trigger and very pleased with what arrived, nicely finished, decent quality grip possibly the same grip supplier as for Salix. Mid middle, 2lb 10oz as listed and very decent edges at 38mm or so. 7 grains not quite evenly spaced, no heartwood, blemish-free face and just shy of a G1 I would say.
Some initial photos here, will look better with an application of oil and will post some more once that has taken effect.
