The top of our ladder. A 95% carbon mega-bow for elite attackers who want maximum lift and the stiffest possible hit. It asks for good hands and rewards them — the textured face holds the ball through aerials and 3D work most sticks let slide.

03 — Why we picked it

Why it earns a place on the ladder.

This is the sharpest stick we stock, and we are honest about who it is for. Ninety-five percent carbon and a 25mm mega-bow give you the most lift and the stiffest hit on the ladder — there is almost nothing between your hands and the ball, which is exactly what an elite attacker wants and exactly what a developing player is not ready for.

The textured face is the detail that justifies the top price. Aerials and 3D pulls that skid off a smooth stick stay glued here, so the hardest skills become repeatable. It demands clean hands and gives everything back when you have them. If you are still deciding, start one rung lower — this one has no forgiveness to spare.

Questions

Before you commit.

Who is a 95% carbon mega-bow actually for?

Elite attackers, and we mean it. This is the top rung — a stick built for a player who already trusts their first touch and wants maximum lift and the stiffest hit on offer. If you are still developing your hands, the extreme bow and stiffness will punish you more than they help. Start a rung lower and move up when your technique is asking for it, not before.

What does 95% carbon change about the feel & will it last?

Carbon that high means very little flex, so almost nothing sits between your hands and the ball — the hit is stiff and fast, and the feedback is immediate. That stiffness is the point, not a fault. Durability is not a trade-off either: the aerospace layup is built for elite loads, and every stick carries a 2-year manufacturer shaft warranty. Treat it as a match stick, not a wet-Thursday spare.

How do I know which length to order?

Stand the stick beside you and it should reach roughly to your hip bone. 37.5″ suits most adult attackers and is what we ship by default; size down to 36.5″ if you are under 5'8″, up to 38.5″ if you are tall or drag-flick from a longer lever. Every stick ships with a free size fitting, so if the length feels wrong we swap it inside fourteen days.

Is the extreme bow even legal, and is it worth it?

Yes — the 25mm mega-bow sits inside the 25mm maximum the rules allow, so it is match-legal everywhere the standard applies. Worth it depends entirely on your hands: the deep bow loads aerials and 3D drags that a shallower stick simply cannot, and the textured face holds the ball through those skills. For an elite attacker that is a real edge. For everyone else it is more bow than you can use.

“Elite is the honest word for it. The lift is unreal and the textured face makes my 3D skills genuinely repeatable. Not a first stick — do not start here.”
Naomi F. · National league Verified buyer
★★★★★
“Stiffest hit I’ve owned, and the grip on the ball through an aerial is a real edge. Worth every dollar if your hands are ready for it.”

“Mega bow is a lot of stick. Took me a fortnight to tame the lift, but once it clicked my flicks and 3D both jumped a level.”
