Mercian Fire CB 5 Hockey Stick

DescriptionDescription

Satisfying the Carbon demands of top players but keeping the necessary performance characteristics.
Players have become very focussed purely on the amount of Carbon in sticks.
The stiffness and power of a stick is as much to do with the quality of construction and the combination of materials than just the material content.
Mercian have used a 100% Carbon sleeve as the outside layer of all M-Tek sticks in order to give power and durability BUT, we retain Kevlar and Basalt to make what we consider to be high-performance sticks.
Basalt has been used in tennis rackets for the first time in the 2010 showing that a move away from a pure carbon solution is recognised as a performance solution in other high specification sports!
The Fire is the ultimate performance stick from Mercian - the top of the M-TEK range. It includes all the performance characteristics of the LAVA with an important and innovative improvement.
Some players want a stiff stick to feel stiff, however, some players want to protect themselves from the vibrations that can occur in a super-stiff stick.
The innovative material in the FIRE dampens the vibrations, making a stiff stick that gives maximum energy transfer but without the uncomfortable feeling of a rock-hard composite.
Patented by HEAD in tennis, Mercian have a patent pending on the PISO-ELECTRIC fibres located at the bottom of the grip, these fibres help prevent the vibrations created by hitting the ball from travelling up through the stick and into a player’s hands, avoiding discomfort.
How it Works:
The PISO-ELECTRIC fibres are made from a material which has active molecules.
The vibrations from hitting and receiving the ball move up the shaft until they hit the PISO-ELECTRIC fibres.
This causes the molecules to vibrate, changing the energy of the vibrations into electricity and in this case heat.
If a player was to hit a ball constantly for 24 hours, the area containing the PISO-ELECTRIC fibres would heat up, but the quantity of energy converted is so low it does not create any immediate noticeable effect.
If the material was connected to an electric circuit and there was a full shaft of PISO ELECTRIC fibres, a small bulb could be lit with the energy created!
Length: 36.5", 37.5"
Weight: Light / Medium
Construction: Carbon 75%, Fibreglass 10%, Basalt 10%, Kevlar 5%
