Mercian Genesis W1 (2021)
2021 legacy model. The Genesis W1 remains a valid Mercian choice where the player's physical fit, Standard shape and preference for a softer response match. It is previous-generation stock: price and remaining availability are purchase trade-offs, not reasons for suitability.
How it fits the Mercian choice system
- Fit: 22-inch to 36-inch lengths.
- Bend: Standard — a traditional 22mm bend suited to straightforward all-round skill development.
- Response: Softer — forgiving touch and feel rather than a stiff, highly direct response.
Construction and feel
Wooden core with fibreglass reinforcement. The construction prioritises soft touch, manageable feel and durability. Construction type is not a player-level score.
Trade-off: choose the W1 where fit, Standard shape and softer feel suit the player, then compare legacy price and remaining stock with the current W1. This is a 2021 legacy model, not the current range.
