Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Like the EC1 feel but want a firmer tip
- Want to feel the shaft load through the mid section
- Want a choice of weights from 48 to 79 g
- Play regular to tour x-stiff flex
Not the right fit if you...
- Want a softer tip: see the EC1 Blue
- Want an active, soft handle (see the AO2 Blue)
- Need senior or ladies flex
How It Plays
Aretera describes the EC1 section by section: firm in the handle, compliant yet stable in the mid, and firm and twist resistant in the tip. Its CONTROL CENTR layup is aimed at torsional stability and a smooth, fluid load.
Tip stiffness is the only difference between the EC1 Blue and EC1 Gray; Aretera made the Gray tip 7% stiffer.
Weights run 48 to 79 g, with torque from 4.7 (45 series, flex 3) down to 3.2 (75 series).
