Vater Hickory Fusion Nylon Tip
When to choose it
If a 0.570-inch stick feels a little narrow but a 0.605-inch Vater 5B feels too full, the Fusion’s 0.580-inch grip gives you an intermediate size. Both the Fusion and Vater 5B Nylon are 16 inches long, so your reach stays comparable while the handle changes.
The Fusion uses a small round nylon tip. Try a repeated ride pattern to compare its contact with a larger tip, and keep the playing spot the same. Choose the VHFN code for hickory. The similarly named VSMFN uses maple, which changes the shaft wood even though the names are close.
