Made in Japan - Shokunin Craftsman Approved - SSK Z9 Professional Edge Youth Wood Bats are Made in Japan by our Japanese Bat Shokunin, or “Craftsman”, who is the most sought-after bat craftsman in Japan.
SSK Wood Bats are hand-crafted with North American Hard Maple which comes from the hardwood capital of the world.
Bat billets are traditionally dried for 1 week, but our Made in Japan bats are dried for 6 months before the bat making process begins. This extended drying process provides more flexibility in the bat, while ensuring ultimate hardness in the wood.
Our unique vacuum drying process allows the whole bat to be evenly and consistently dried. This means less stress on the wood and more pop on every hit.
