Questions frequently asked

What wood is used for the handle?

Does the tapered handle help reduce fatigue?
Thanks to its tapered profile, the handle promotes overall balance. This design helps reduce fatigue during extended sessions. Rebound control is also enhanced by the combination of hickory and the felt head.
