Gray-Nicolls Imperia 1.1 Adult Cricket Bat - Black/Yellow

The Imperia 1.1 is Gray-Nicolls' classic-shaped bat, and this GN330+ short-handle model brings that profile to adult club cricketers. An even-low bow and a large hitting area with a low-mid blade sweet spot make it a natural fit for players who value timing and placement as much as raw power.

Key Features

• Even - Low bow — a classic, low bow that keeps the hands over the ball on the front foot.
• Classic profile — a large hitting area with a low-mid blade sweet spot.
• Powercurve semi-rounded face — increased profile for optimum ping.
• Mid to high balance point — creates a feather-light pick-up.
• Large edges to match the spine — volume where it counts, without an unwieldy feel.
• Semi round toe and semi oval handle — a traditional, comfortable set-up.
• TRACTION grip — Gray-Nicolls' lightweight, high-performance grip.

Performance Overview

The low-mid sweet spot and even-low bow reward the classical strokes: the drive, the punch off the back foot, and anything played along the ground. Large edges matched to the spine keep the blade responsive across the face, while the mid-to-high balance point means the bat feels lighter in the hands than its volume suggests — useful over a long innings.

Benefits

A traditionally shaped adult bat from a range Gray-Nicolls built around timing and control, with enough edge volume to punish the loose ball. It suits a top-order batter who scores through the V.
