Hi all,I have an Ollie Pope Hypernova bat. This was part of the first release that GN did. I believe this initial set of 12 bats were made in England. The bat has a shoulder stamp marked 'B' and a number on the handle under the grip that says 91 on top and 25303-42 at the bottom. Any ideas? Thanks.
I must be behind the times here, It’s a Pope copy bat but he must visit the factory here to get his bats custom made.If it’s a Pope edition should it not be the same situation?I’ve clearly missed something here.
Pretty sure a huge number of pros have never been near a batmaker.
Surprised to hear that certainly for the Uk internationals. I’ve just always thought they would visit in person as they may be fussy or even want to choose clefts.We live and learn
Anyone still interested in Pope's shape. The Tempesta 1.1 is the short blade/ long handle replica.https://www.gray-nicolls.co.uk/collections/cricket-bats/products/tempesta-gen-1-1-players-cricket-bat
