The Black Diamond
Techra’s longest-lasting stick: a patented bio-based compound with carbon fiber, rated by Techra at more than ten times the life of hickory, with the same weight and a very similar rebound.
Balanced at the center and matched in pairs, with Techra’s Anti Vibration System: a long rubber end cap that keeps vibration from reaching your arm. The resin comes from a plant that keeps growing, and the stick is recyclable at the end of its life.
