Trevor Runyan used a Valor American Chopper to win the 2007 U.S. National Hardbat Championship. More recently Adoni Maropis won the 2011 U.S. National Hardbat Championship. Since then it has been used by other players to win national and major hardbat events such as Larry Hodges winning the 2010 Cary Cup Hardbat Championship. This modern design is sure to become a favorite with the player who likes a slightly over-sized defensive blade, and yet likes to counterattack. As with all of the Valor 3/16" thick woods, this blade possesses unsurpassed feel, control, and a "passing gear" when it comes to attack. WEIGHT 94.0gr, LENGTH 167.0mm, WIDTH 154.0mm, Handle 99.0mm. THICKNESS 3/16" (4.75mm) SPEED: Medium/defensive. Feel: Medium/Soft ("Springy") HANDLE: Straight, Flair.   Made in U.S.A.
