* The AJK encapsulates our experience and our passion as batmakers. * It is our most modern shape, combining a sharper, targeted semi-flat pressed face with a languid, deep bow to create a dramatically profiled, flared edge, power-house of a bat. * This unique combination of modern profile with deep bow is achieved by multi-stage, tailored pressing. * The AJK shares the fluid, sculpted lines of the Pod but with our contemporary flatter face profile. * With the highest driving area in the range, it is designed and built to inspire confident, accomplished players with an instinctive game. * contemporary semi-flat pressed face * targeted multi-stage pressing, rerunning through the driving area * sculpted profile with minimal concave sanding for fullest back * concentration of wood in middle and edges * semi-flat face for intense power * dominant, flared edges * deep, long bow * mid to high driving area * smooth triangular toe * rounder oval handle * for accomplished, versatile players * new pared back labels in ‘engineered’ black on chrome, with copper accents * senior AJK: 2,9 to 2,14 in Finite, Players, Marque and Performance grades * junior AJK: Harrow to Four in Finite and Performance grades * highest level of English artisan batmaking: individually handmade by Salix * CNC free manufacturing, individual in-house pressing and processing from cleft to bat
