Second-tier Halbertec (endorsed by Fu Haifeng): a stiff 6.8 mm shaft and balance around 301 mm for players who want control and a controlled smash. Expect a stiff, precise feel rather than free power.

  • T1100 shaft for crisp feedback
  • Balanced between attack and defence
  • Often discounted
  • Stiff shaft is unforgiving for slow swings
  • Older than the 9000
