We spent the time to develop our XGT™ technology. XGT™ stands for Extreme Gradual Taper, that means that the stick is seriously tapered to the ends. In the center, where the stem clamps, we use a larger wall thickness, but at the end it drastically reduces to minimal wall thickness requirements! This allows the energy to dissipate over a consistent and gradual tapering within the inner core. What’s the result? Much more strength, but also much better dampening of hard hits. That means more control and less pain!
