When to choose it

Choose the VHFW if you want the 0.580-inch Fusion grip with wood contact. It sits between the published widths of Vater’s Los Angeles 5A and 5B. The Fusion stays 16 inches long, so you can compare the width with either model without adding length.

Vater specifies a small round wood tip. If you already use the VHFN nylon Fusion, compare the same ride pattern with the wood version. The published length and grip match, so the tip material is the most direct change to judge. Use VHFW to keep the wood-tip hickory variant.
