The higher balance point creates a lighter feeling head for faster stick movement and high saves, while the kinked shape helps with reverse stick saves and sweeps. The underlying fibreglass lay-up and advanced resins enhance durability despite the lightweight pick-up, aiding skill execution. Nano polymer resin creates a flexible but stronger bond between composite layers, increasing stiffness and reducing the risk of de-lamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Quality Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e: Preferred carbon from Japan, Germany, Scotland, and South Africa provides stiffness but can be brittle.

These tiny rubber particles 'squash' on ball impact, providing a damping effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro (Low) Bend\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24mm bend at 230mm from the head.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eM-Gel Vibration Control\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silicon gel injected into the handle absorbs vibrations caused by power skills such as hitting and slapping, providing much more feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFibreglass Micro-Skeleton and Laminates\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forms a flexible base that absorbs energy, combined with carbon, Kevlar, and basalt for enhanced performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mercian","offers":[{"title":"32\" \/ Marine \/ Purple","offer_id":52423422443849,"sku":"HSGECF15GK2532","price":74.38,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"36.5\" \/ Marine \/ Purple","offer_id":52423422574921,"sku":"HSGECF15GK2536","price":73.38,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/8514\/2684\/files\/HSGECF15GK25_GENESIS_CF15_GK_FULL_REAR.jpg?v=1774272900","url":"https:\/\/shop.mercianhockey.eu\/products\/genesis-cf15-goalkeeping-stick-25","provider":"Mercian Hockey BV","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
