Adirondack Big Stick JAX44 is pounded in a way that only a true power hitter could accomplish. My goodness, is it ever blasted! You can actually "feel" the dents in the barrel, and the wood grain is so punished that it has started to separate. Ultra-bold white paint pen inscription reads, "My friend for life, To Chris, Reggie Jackson, Aug. 13, 86." We've never seen better use on a Reggie bat than this one.
