VATER Hitmaker Wood

American Hickory: The Hitmaker is made from North American hickory wood. It is denser, harder and heavier than maple, while also being more elastic than oak. Dimensions: The stick is 16.25 inch / 41.27 cm long and has a diameter of 0.570 inch / 1.45 cm. According to the product data, the dimensions correspond to a 5A-oriented version. Profile: According to the product data, the Hitmaker is designed like a 5A but has a stronger taper. This makes the profile different from the classic 5A stick. Wood tip: The model has an acorn-shaped wood tip. This tip design is part of the specific Hitmaker version. Manufacturing: Vater turns the sticks by computer control and sands them precisely. Weight, tone colour and balance are then analysed and matching pairs are put together.
