When to choose it

Use the VHP5AN when a 16-inch Fusion Nylon gives you the grip you like but leaves a cymbal just beyond reach. The Power 5A Nylon keeps a published 0.580-inch diameter and adds half an inch of length. Try the added reach at your usual grip position before comparing a thicker shaft.

The Power 5A and Fusion share a diameter. Their tip designs and shaft profiles can still change the contact and balance. Choose the exact VHP5AN code for hickory and nylon if you are replacing a pair that already works for you.
