Vater VGS5AWVATER Gospel Series 5A Wood

American Hickory: The Gospel 5A is made from North American hickory wood. It is denser, harder and heavier than maple, while also being more elastic than oak. Hickory also absorbs some of the vibration energy generated during play. Dimensions: The stick is 16.5 inch / 41.91 cm long and has a diameter of 0.555 inch / 1.41 cm. This makes it slightly slimmer than a classic 5A while also being made longer. Gospel 5A: The combination of a slim design and additional length supports controlled playing at low to medium volumes. Ball tip: The wood tip has a ball shape. This tip shape allows a well-defined response and is suitable for the specified areas of use of the Gospel model. Construction: The extended version offers additional reach. The Gospel 5A thus combines its slimmer 5A design with the extended construction characteristic of the series.
