This is a completely Made in Japan stick. "PROSPEX" Designed and manufactured in Japan. We use high-strength, high-quality carbon made in Japan (Toray). There are two types: LOW KICK and MID KICK. The LOW KICK has its center of gravity set closer to the blade, enabling quick shots and wrist shots. The MID KICK allows the entire shaft to flex smoothly, enabling slap shots with extension. The blade uses a 6-axis design that is resistant to torsional impact and employs a highly durable core material, resulting in a thin yet strong blade. FLEX options are 58, 66, 70, and 76. There are also 4 blade patterns available. Curve patterns are shown in the photos. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments. If you live in Okinawa or remote islands, please consult with us before purchasing due to shipping costs.
