Technology
- Optimum kick point technology has been designed to guarantee you greater precision, with a flexpoint higher up the shaft.
- Refine the precision of each of your strokes. The unique flexibility of the shaft makes it more supple when setting up your shots to gain precision and hit winners.
- Check out the aerodynamic frame design, made with scalable sections to offer you the perfect compromise between power and manoeuvrability.
- The bottom of the shaft has been given increased stiffness to move the flexpoint higher. This specific position of the flexpoint increases the shaft’s stiffness and aids precision.
