Why it earns a place on the ladder.
This is the stick people reach for when the basics have stopped being the hard part. Half carbon is a deliberate number — enough stiffness to put pace on a hit, not so much that a mis-trap punishes you. The aramid keeps the vibration civil.
The low bow and slim profile are built for hands that have started to do 3D work: lifting into a drag, dying the ball on the reverse, pulling it flat around a defender. Even balance means it does not lead you anywhere; it goes where your wrists send it. A stick to consolidate on before you commit to a specialist bow.
Kit it out in one go.
Before you commit.
Who is this stick actually for?
The player who has stopped thinking about the basics. If your trap holds, your hit goes roughly where you aim, and you have started reaching for reverse and drag skills, this is the move up from a glass beginner stick. If you are still learning to receive cleanly, stay a rung lower for another season — the extra bite here rewards hands you have not quite built yet.
What do “50% carbon” and “low bow” actually change for me?
Half carbon is a deliberate middle. It stiffens the shaft enough to put real pace on a hit, but leaves enough give — with the aramid damping the rest — that an off-centre trap does not sting your hands. The low bow shifts the curve down the shaft, which is what makes lifting into a drag, dragging flat around a defender, and 3D work feel natural instead of forced.
Which length should I order?
Stand the stick beside you: it should reach roughly to your hip bone. 36.5″ suits most adult players; size down to 35.5″ if you are under 5'6″ and up to 37.5″ if you are over six foot. Every stick ships with a free size fitting, so if it feels wrong in the hand we swap it inside fourteen days.
Is this too much stick for a club player?
No. The 50% blend is chosen precisely so it does not punish. A full-carbon stick is stiff and unforgiving — it asks for a technique most club players are still building. This one gives you the pace and control you are ready for without scolding you for a mis-hit. It is a stick to consolidate on, not one you have to be a county player to justify.
