What is Outer Fiber construction?\u003c\/dt\u003e\u003cdd\u003eA. It's a construction that places a special material such as carbon toward the outside of the blade, closer to the surface. This blade has 2 layers of ZL Carbon placed toward the outside of a 5-ply wood blade. The manufacturer positions it as an intermediate-level model with relatively restrained bounce for this type of construction.\u003c\/dd\u003e\u003cdt\u003eQ. Which grip should I choose?\u003c\/dt\u003e\u003cdd\u003eA. FL (Flared) widens toward the end, ST (Straight) is straight, and AN (Anatomic) is contoured with a bulge in the middle. Grip size is 100×25×34 mm for FL and AN, and 100×23×28 mm for ST. As a general rule, choose whichever shape feels most natural in your hand.\u003c\/dd\u003e\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul class=\"kidspo-notes\"\u003e\u003cli\u003eThis item is ordered from our supplier after you place your order, then shipped from Japan.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIf it is out of stock at the manufacturer or supplier, delivery may take longer.
