Mercian M Tek Fire CB2 Composite Hockey StickFire is the ultimate 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 and yet has the associated touch and feel of a mid-specification composite. This results in a greater cushioning on receiving the ball.
Patented by HEAD in tennis, Mercian have a patent pending on the use of PISO-ELECTRIC fibres within a hockey stick. These fibres are an active molecule material. 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, in this case into heat. If a player were to hit a ball constantly for 24 hours, the area containing the fibres would heat up, but the quantity of energy converted is so low it does not create any immediate noticeable effect. If a stick was made with a full shaft of PISO-ELECTRIC fibre and connected to an electric circuit, a small bulb could be lit with the energy created from each hit.
This is a truely quality stick. Its great hitting ability combined with the great feel you gain whilst using it lives up to the high standards of mercians top of the range sticks. 100% worth every penny!
