What is Inner Fiber construction?\u003c\/dt\u003e\u003cdd\u003eA. It's a construction that places a special material such as carbon toward the inside of the blade, closer to the center, rather than near the surface. This blade has 2 layers of Super Arylate Carbon placed inside a 5-ply wood blade.\u003c\/dd\u003e\u003cdt\u003eQ. Which grip should I choose?\u003c\/dt\u003e\u003cdd\u003eA. FL (Flared) widens toward the end, while ST (Straight) is straight and easy to re-grip. Grip size is 100×25×34 mm for FL and 100×23×28 mm for ST.
