SSK Hardball Metal Bat - New Standard Compliant Skyflight NSR The successor to the Skybeat series, a staple in high school baseball. The Skyflight series, known for its comfortable feel and distance. Using the resilient metal "J2014," it's designed for players who like to "ride" the ball. Features a thick grip and an easy-to-swing, all-around balance design. Regarding the 2024 Bat Standards To ensure player safety, the standards aim to reduce the bat's rebound power, resulting in "non-flying bats." While maintaining a total weight of 900g or more, the maximum diameter of the hitting area has been changed from 67mm to 64mm. This requires a thicker design for the hitting area, and the reduction in flex suppresses rebound power. (A thinner hitting area allows for greater flex and distance.) Material: Super Duralumin (J2014) Balance: All-around balance (counter balance, most hand-centered balance) Product Specifications: Color: Yellow Gold x Black Maximum Diameter: φ64mm 83cm - 900g or more
