Appearance / Grain Structure
Every stick I supply is made with wood superior to most/all other wood sticks in the marketplace in regards to hardness, durability, and whip, which are key to success on the playing field.
Because of this, part of the decision process in choosing one of my sticks over the others may have to do more with its appearance than slight differences in functionality.
Let's face it, every player on the field wants to let out his inner lax bro a bit. What's cooler and more intimidating than walking on the field with the exotic grain structure of a Belizean hardwood shaft?
“Granadillo” is known to be quality hardwood that provides exceptional character, color and tonality.
It is prized for its reddish brown coloring that routinely includes blacks, violets and oranges mixed in.
It has proven itself time and again as a premiere choice for both musical instruments and furniture alike due to its hardness and its tonality, which stems from its smooth, consistent grain that minimizes weak spots on a shaft.
Granadillo's smooth "marbled" grain is what sets it apart as a beautiful exotic wood.
It is known to have straight grain patterns that vary for each shaft, and is also known to have frequent figuring, which tightens the grains (strengthening the shaft) and creates beautiful, "wavey" patterns that shine under the polyurethane.
As with all Platymiscium species, the heartwood is also extremely resistant to fungi and termite attack, which is due to its content of secondary metabolites, which attests to its hardness and strength.
