About this bat
The Gray Nicolls Imperia Gen 1.1 Players Edition is a bat built for players who dominate on the front foot — a massive low-mid blade, classic profile and exceptional power through the line, finished in the striking yellow colourway that makes the 1.1 a genuine statement bat. Players Edition grade means pristine willow with multiple straight grains: the finest cosmetics in the Imperia range.
The blade features a classic profile with a low-mid sweet spot, large edges matching the spine, and a Powercurve semi-rounded face for exceptional ping and precision. Despite the full profile and large hitting area, the mid-to-high balance point creates a feather-light pick-up — equally effective for powerful drives and crisp back-foot play. The semi-oval handle with TRACTION grip delivers responsive control throughout long innings.
The 1.1 yellow colourway distinguishes this bat from the red and black Imperia 1.0 — identical blade profile and specs, different aesthetic. Comes with an anti-scuff sheet. Requires knocking in before match use. Where our bat preparation service is enabled, we complete this fully before dispatch.
