About the wood, the tip and the maker
OakMaterial
The heaviest and hardest of the big three. A go-to for power and durability, often Japanese white oak (shira-kashi), and a wood Japanese makers are known for. Harder on the hands.
RoundTip shape
A ball tip with a small contact patch. The striking surface is the same at any angle, so the tone stays consistent and ride patterns come out bright and clearly defined.
