Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026
Chandler AJ99.2 is described as having a longer, larger barrel than the original AJ99. The spec lines give a flared knob, thick handle thickness, short barrel taper and extended barrel size, with a slightly end loaded feel.
| Model code | AJ99.2 |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Barrel Taper: Short; Barrel Size: Extended |
| Handle | Handle Thickness: ThickWhat this meansA handle near 1 in or more. It feels closer to a metal bat, takes sting out of mis-hits, and in wood it lasts longer. Makers recommend it for players moving from metal to wood. Tip: If your player is switching from metal to wood, start here. |
| Knob | FlaredWhat this meansThe handle widens into the knob like the bell of a trumpet. Players who choke up or want leverage like it; it also keeps the bottom hand from sliding off. Popular from high school up. |
| Balance | Slight end load |
