Our longtime Axe fans have no reason to switch, but for anyone who has been skeptical of the Axe Handle in the past, getting their hands on this has been an eye-opening experience. We are confident that even these subtle Axe additions have a massive benefit over round knobs and we are eager to share them with anyone who hasn’t found their handle with us yet. This might just be the answer and we’re grateful for the honest critique and collaboration that’s made it possible for us to create it.

Each of these individual metrics are described below.

Each bat sold in the American bat market is required to pass certification testing at a third-party laboratory for its given regulatory stamp prior to production and sale of that bat design.
