Technology
Signal
KonneticHD Technology brings together an optimized graphite-to-resin ratio and a higher density (HD) graphite fiber composite for blanks that are lighter and stronger than previous generations of graphite technology (Konnetic). SIGNAL harnesses that lightweight strength into control and accuracy, tighter loops hitting farther targets, improved recovery and smoother all-around energy transfer.
-
Lighter, Stronger
Lightweight strength leads to multi-application aptitude, providing quick recovery and seamless energy transfer.
-
Flats Accuracy
Whether it's wind or warry saltwater targets, harness heightened casting control and dead-on accuracy by way of improved recovery speed and energy delivery.
-
Intuitive Operative
KonneticHD brings situational awareness to the forefront, generating the line speed and loop control you need to pivot and prevail.
