The higher balance point creates a lighter feeling head for faster stick movement and high saves, while the kinked shape helps with reverse stick saves and sweeps. The underlying fibreglass lay-up and advanced resins enhance durability despite the lightweight pick-up, aiding skill execution. 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\u003ch2\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h2\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.
