Someone please share a picture on here for those of us not on Twitter!
There's listings on their website with no pictures. From the description however this doesn't sound like a Purist...

Quote
At Romida, we are delighted to welcome the return of one of GM's greatest ever bats - the Purist. With heritage graphics and one of the best ever GM shapes the Purist, exclusive to Romida, will be a huge hit

- TRADITIONAL L555 BLADE LENGTH
- HANDLE LENGTH 295mm
- SUBSTANTIAL CONTOURED EDGES
- BIG SWELL
- EXTENDED SWEETSPOT
- CONCAVED BACK PROFILE
- MADE IN ENGLAND FROM PRIME ENGLISH WILLOW

The Purist we all know and loved didn't have a "concaved back profile", it was a thin edged full profiled thing of beauty!

It doesn't look like the Purist we know and love. But it looks like a nice profile and those stickers are to die for.

Why didnt GM do this?!?!

There not the purist we knew

Similar shape to the noir apparently So a shape we all love now with stickers that are classic and modern

Perfect!

It's the Mogul shape from a couple of years ago. Which was a lovely shape iirc, but not very Puristy.

Looks better than any of the GM ranges in last year or this year. Should have really been a mainstream bat this year..

Ordered a dozen of the new Hex Grips from GM. When they first arrived I thought I was going to hate them. When I put the first one on and held it without gloves I hated them. However, when I tried them with gloves they were a complete revelation. They feel not dissimilar from an octopus grip, but far grippier. They don’t seem to be any more abrasive on the gloves either. Having struggled with a slightly too strong bottom hand lately, it’s great to feel a grip that you know you can grip loosely, but can be absolutely certain that it won’t slip.

All in all, a great grip (once it’s on!). They’re on all of my bats now.

Been waiting for a review of these as no cricket shops near me stocking any of the latest GM products. They sound good. Where did you order the dozen from @SouthpawMark
