For those questioning the claim that it's a genuine players bat, I agree it can seem questionable and somewhat easy to fake.

Have a look at this though - www.facebook.com/Kingsgrovesportscentre/photos/pb.168231813250789.-2207520000.1402475809./418731838200784/?type=3&theater. These were meant to be bats SS sent to Kingsgrove to prepare for Sangakkara in their last Australian tour. The name was also misspelt.

Moral of the story?

Make sure the name is spelt wrong! :D

I tell you what, lets find out from the SS guys and find out if they always write the name of the players at the Toe with name misspelt ;)

I think names are written by someone in the factory who is more into production side (i.e. making the bats or supervising them), they would just hear the names of players for whom the bats are made and write the name on the best effort basis (whatever sounds right to them), their educational qualifications as expected would not be great.

Additionally it may be a secret code to differentiate actual "Player's" bat, the ones where names are spelled correctly might be fakes  ;)

I am troubled by the difference in profile. The SS looks more concaved than I would expect and I had heard Pollard uses a relatively light bat before grips are applied, more in the 2'9-10 range. I might be wrong though but these bats look too different to me, unless he isn't fussy on profiles.

When I spoke with a guy at CA, he said the actual "pro ones" are without toe guard.

God knows!

I got a custom made SS bat direct from SS factory. Told them to make a virat kohli spec bat. And their best quality willow and best bat. I have done review on the Sareen Sports page on this forum.
And my bat also is 1 inch longer then all other bats. Your bat is thicker as it's weight is much more. I wanted a light weight bat and they made me a 2.9 but the balance and pick up is really great that it feels exactly like one of my 2.7 weight bat. Also it's got just minimum concaving just like yours.

Got to say looks a usual cracker from sareen indeed.

Great shape looks imposing indeed and great profile.

Agree both this and the kholi shape ones are stunning
