Performance
The all-wood construction features five laminates of basswood and maple, used for their high strength-to-weight ratios. Available in five lengths between 51 and 63 inches, the Loon’s 6.75-by-20-inch blade blends power with a light swing weight, while the oval shaft and palm-grip felt at home in our hands. Size it right: Place the grip between your legs while seated; the shaft/blade intersection should be at your forehead.
$75; 22 oz.
