  • What modulus are the blanks?
    • Through years of research, we have found that blank building and design that utilizes multiple modulus types allows us to make a strong, light weight, durable and extremely sensitive blank without any of the compromises. The industry standard is to use the term “high modulus” without telling you that it’s not a 100% high modulus carbon fiber construction. That is why we don’t mention modulus in any of our descriptions, since blank design is more important than carbon fiber modulus. We use a combination of high quality American Made carbon fiber with technology that utilizes a carbon fiber scrim with unidirectional and bi-directional fibers to create the lightest, most durable blanks available.
