The Lava represents another significant step for the technical specifications of MERCIAN composites. The CB2 shape is created from a fibreglass skeleton with Carbon, Kevlar and Basalt (LAVA) layers. The Basalt content has been increased to create an even greater strength and stiffness the CB2 shape offers great stick turnover and help with flicking. In addition to this, the super stiff construction gives fantastic hitting power. A further specific characteristic that is revolutionary, is the use of an impregnated resin.
Some composite materials are brittle in their natural form. To protect these and increase the durability of M-Tek sticks, the resins used have been mxed with POLYETHYLENE particles. This creates a rubberised resin. Whilst it cannot be felt, this rubberised top layer gives some impact protection to the materials within the stick. The impregnated resin also has a texture similar to a worn wooden stick. It creates a surface texture that reduces the spin of the ball caused by wet pitches (1). The texture allows water to be displaced, allowing direct contact between stick and ball on wet surfaces and thus more control.
