The 25% fibreglass skeleton and integrated fibreglass laminates provide great touch and feel, while the 10% Kevlar increases durability, stiffness, and laminate bonding. This model is available in the Pro (low) bend (23.5mm @ 230mm), suitable for multiple skill sets and abilities. Nano polymer resin creates a flexible but stronger bond between composite layers, increasing stiffness and reducing the risk of de-lamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Quality Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e: Preferred carbon from Japan, Germany, Scotland, and South Africa provides stiffness but can be brittle.

These tiny rubber particles 'squash' on ball impact, providing a damping effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro (Low) Bend\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24mm bend at 230mm from the head.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eM-Gel Vibration Control\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silicon gel injected into the handle absorbs vibrations caused by power skills such as hitting and slapping, providing much more feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKevlar (Aramid) Durability\u003c\/strong\u003e: Enhances the strength and durability of the stick.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFibreglass Micro-Skeleton and Laminates\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forms a flexible base that absorbs energy, combined with carbon, Kevlar, and basalt for enhanced performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Process Vibration Control\u003c\/strong\u003e: Piezo-electric fibres convert vibrations into heat for efficient dampening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCold Touch Lacquer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Provides a cool feel to the stick's surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mercian","offers":[{"title":"36.5 Inch","offer_id":58003479789893,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"37.5 Inch","offer_id":58003479822661,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/2107\/6805\/files\/CKF65ProBendImage1.jpg?v=1779131755","url":"https:\/\/hockey-farm.com\/products\/mercian-evolution-ckf65-pro-bend-hockey-stick-advanced-composite-stick","provider":"The Hockey-farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
