The 10% Kevlar increases durability, stiffness, and laminate bonding. The DSH bend features a 4mm scooped face and low-bow profile (23mm @ 270mm) for enhanced ball control and 3D skills. Nano polymer resin creates a flexible but stronger bond between composite layers, increasing stiffness and reducing the risk of de-lamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Quality Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e: Preferred carbon from Japan, Germany, Scotland, and South Africa provides stiffness but can be brittle.
