Grip it and rip it. The Platinum grade construction is twice as strong as the standard aluminum alloy shaft. The Platinum series of handles are the next step for beginners who are looking to take their game to the next level. The Zonal grip is raised in key areas. The grip fades out towards the top of the shaft for faster hand speed on dodges. The Warrior Platinum Tactical Shaft is ideal for those looking for extra grip and not extra tape.
