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?
The Ziricote lax shafts have a one of a kind, webbed, marbled grain that is often compared to rolling clouds or waves.
The wood shines beautifully with its natural luster, which speaks to why the wood is used primarily for fine art.
But don't let that fool you, Ziricote is also prized for its incredible strength and extreme flexibility, making some of the best archery bows in the world.
It is in the same ballpark as Granadillo and Mayan Cherry for durability when considering the combination of high flex and shock absorption with a good bending strength.
