Design:
-It has the classical design of the Dita sticks in black and white( you can have it in blue and white too), the black is a matte black, it means without shine.The lamination can flake off after training to expose the shiny paint underneath. I suggest adding some stick tape to the shaft if you don't mind blocking out the design.

Hitting:
-The stick, for having such a soft feel, hits amazingly. It has a really big sweet spot, and if you catch that the power is more than you need anywhere in the game.However, this is not to say that the raw power of the stick is on equal terms with the monstrous Gryphon Tour - the stick isn't designed for the "artillery" side of the game, but it still delivers in this respect. The bow doesn't really make a huge difference in hits - it's mostly about your technique. However, having said that, the ball is very easy to lift. Same goes with slap hits.

Dribbling:
-Let's face it, they have to make something pretty special if they're gonna make claims like that. For what it's worth, it really doesn't let you down, the reverse side of the head is amazing - great feel and response. The head's shape is really nice for doing spins in the hook of the stick, cradling the ball perfectly and allowing yourself to do the skills with all the speed and precision that you need (after you get the technique right yourself). 3D Skills are made really simple with the thin head and low-ish bow - the stick is perfect for subtle, controlled flicks on the run.

Pushing:
-As one would expect, the bow placement helps pushing in terms of speed and of course deception  but it´s simply not as astounding as Kookaburra Ultralite Low Bow. The slightly more weighted feel and lack of concave playing surface make the stick suitable for this area of play, yet not really as intense as the dribbling.


Flicking:
-The stick is actually really nice for flicks - this is where you really notice the change a low bow makes to your game. Drag flicking is powerful due to the great sling shot effect and high balance point of the stick as well as having a reasonably slim shaft, but there are no doubt some sticks out there better suited to this area (the extreme low bows). Aerials are made a lot easier with this stick, with the 24,5mm bend, you can throw them very far and high.


Tomahawks:
-One of the things Dita paid attention to when making this stick was the reinforced inside edge: which really paid off. The low bow isn't too extreme so if you're used to using a mid bow, you shouldn't have to adjust very much. The power on the reverse hits is amazing, you can always feel it when you've hit one cleanly - the edge feels really strong and solid without being chunky or heavy. The shape and thickness of the blade is perfect for powerful shots - with practice, it is your choice whether you hit one flat or into the top corner - both are performed with ease. The edge itself is really solid and gives a great response.
