The blanks Aoki demands must be aggressive. By combining carbon materials with different elasticity rates and the latest materials, the optimal taper design for each model has been achieved.

A grooved "Grooved Center Grip" has been adopted, which prevents finger slippage and maintains a moderate hold.

The guides use titanium SIC. The EXTREME SPEC uses TORZITE guides.

Some spinning models feature a short cork grip that Aoki is particular about, allowing for more delicate handling.

The foregrip design eliminates all unnecessary elements, improving operability and reducing weight.

A compact EVA rear grip is adopted, with the model name engraved on the end plate.
