Bucky Jacobsen - SEA |
Bucky is Seattle's most promising slugger and absolute fan favorite!
When he's not crushing 500 foot home runs with Akadema's Tacktion Maple
bat, he's going to bat for the American Cancer Society |
With the introduction of the Tacktion Grip bat (patent pending), Akadema,
the manufacturer accelerating the evolution of baseball equipment, has
found a use for all those sunflower shells littering dugouts throughout
the country. This brand new bat incorporates a proprietary mix of ground
sunflower shells, walnut shells and sand affixed to the handle of the bat
to provide extra grip. This slurry mixture is painstakingly applied onto
the handle of each bat to provide a pretreated grip. No more messy pine
tar, no more tape, the Akadema Tacktion Bat is ready for
immediate use.

Amish build
Akadema’s Wood Bats
in the Pennsylvania Dutch Tradition. The Amish have been considered the best
wood craftsmen since their emigration to America in 1737. Their legendary
expertise in fine wood products and craftsmanship continues in Akadema’s
Amish Wood Bats.
The Akadema Wood Bat
starts its journey in the heart of the Catskill Forest where the hardest,
healthiness, straightest Northern Ash and Rock Maple is found. Lumberjacks
from the region select each split of ash and maple. The wood is then sent to
a mill where it is inspected, turned into billet and dried to
specifications. The billet is then hand selected by Akadema’s VP of Wood
Production and sent to our Amish wood shop. Without any electrical power the
bats are turned similar to the process used two centuries ago in a turn of
the century barn.
