Bat billets are traditionally dried for 1 week, but at SSK, our billets 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. At SSK we use a unique vacuum drying process which allows the whole bat to evenly and consistently dried. This means more pop.

SSK offers a 30-day warranty on all SSK Z9 Youth Wood Baseball Bats starting the day of purchase. Every SSK Z9 Youth Baseball Bat is handcrafted to exact specifications to ensure the highest quality product. SSK Z9 Professional Edge Wood bats are handcrafted in Japan with the highest quality wood coming from North America.
