GP 274
« on: October 31, 2014, 05:27:09 PM »
I am waiting to board my flight back to the UK fresh from the B&S factory in SA with the fantastic news of a new bat to be launched along side the Assegai and Impi it will be the GP 274 B&S are doing this in partnership with the great Graham Pollock who has recently fallen on very harsh times financially and medically a certain portion of the sale price will be donated to the Graham Pollock trust to help pay for medical and living costs as soon as a shape and sticker design has been approved I will update the foroum there will only be 100 bats available and they will all be numbered and authenticated by the great man

Very sad news re GP. Finest left hander of all time. Will one or two of this limited run of bats be long blade by any chance (GP is 6ft 2!!)?

When will you be publishing details?  Had planned on ordering an Impi or two through Jake but, as a massive Pollock fan, wouldn't mind seeing this before I finalise the decision.

Any chance you can disclose how much of the sale price will be going the the GP fund. Also would the bats be available through the current stockists or directly from B&S UK?

Thanks Gary.

Will the bats be made to order to cater for weight and handle requirements? And I guess they will all be of a nice quality grade 1.

Here is an idea on the bat shape, obviously in unfinished form with no grip/stickers.
