The Sherwood Rekker M80 Stickis an excellent score for players who are looking for elite-level performance at a much more approachable price. Built for the sniper who needs a dangerously quick shot release, the M80 boasts their DropKick Shaft Taper that requires little to no loading but results in an incredibly quick rate of release.
Sherwood was able to reduce the weight of the Rekker M80 to 450 grams (in senior) thanks to the 100% carbon fiber construction. This paired with their speared one-piece manufacturing, the M80 truly plays and feels like an elite-level stick. The new VRF.4 blade core lends a helping had too since its thin profile helps to raise the balance point without sacrificing strength or responsiveness.
