The 35% carbon provides stiffness, while the fibreglass offers touch, feel, and durability. The lightweight construction and higher balance point make skill execution easier for juniors, while the full-size head enhances hitting and slapping power. 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\u003ch1\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h1\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.
