The Carbon Fiber barrel uses the same technology used in Formula One race cars. Carbon Fiber is used to give racers the edge because it is an extremely lightweight, yet strong, material. You can now use that same edge to your advantage on the field. We added a special coating to the inside of the barrel which allows you to recover 90% accuracy in as little as three shots after a ball break. The 32 Degrees Carbon Fiber has earned a place in our top 10 favorites of all time. You can choose between an aluminum and a stainless steel (SS) base. Fits new-style 98 threads.
