  • Profile: Mid-to-low sweet spot with a slightly traditional spine for controlled power and exceptional feel

Care and maintenance

  • Lightly oil the face with raw linseed oil before first use (one thin coat), allow to dry 24–48 hours.

  • Knock-in gently with a mallet for 200–400 softer hits, then move to softer throwdowns before hard match use.

  • Store in a cool, dry place; avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture.

  • Re-apply a light coat of oil every 3–4 months of heavy use and repair surface scuffs promptly to protect the willow.
