Butt & Joint Protector: $825
Full Purple Heart core; beech forearm and butt sleeve, handle is oak. In fact looking close at the handle, I’m not sure if that’s a winged angel or a woman with veins popping in her eyes.
Up to you if you finish the name of the stick with “Bout a sharp dressed man,” or just leave it as is, a full and complete statement. For indeed, Every Girl’s Crazy.
But to be clear I suppose every man is too. Doesn’t change anything.
The pics are of the butt right after its first turn on the taper shaper. I applied a coat of CA to show the final colors. Patterns will change as the diameter reduces over the next 6 months.
With a full purple heart core, expect a firm hit and a very balanced, solid feel to the butt. Pair with a purple heart, Osage orange, or hickory shaft for a break monster. Or add a carbon fiber or BurcHowdy shaft for your best low deflection everyday statement shooter.
Want to add the best wood shaft on the planet to your order? I’m on a quest to build the best low deflection wood shaft on planet earth.
