The scorecard
Power
8/10
Eighty per cent carbon, little lost.
Reception
9/10
Flat face and real give. Forgiving.
Reverse
8/10
A 300mm apex is kind here.
Aerials
6/10
Least rake here. Overheads take work.
Feel
8/10
Around 510g. Taper Toe head helps.
The verdict
Eighty per cent carbon and a 300mm apex: a stick built to play in February. Enough stiffness to hit through a wet ball, enough give to receive one.
Buy it if
- You play defence or deep midfield
- You play through a wet winter
- You want control before power
Skip it if
- You take the drag flicks
- You want a low bow
- You play mostly on water
