Darkhorse-425 | 60" Carbon Composite Defensive Shaft | 3D Raised Checkered Grip | 2 Pack

Two shafts. Built to take punishment. Ready when one goes down. Most defensive shafts ask you to pick one: light enough to push transition, or thick enough to survive a season of slashes. The Darkhorse-425 picks durability. On purpose. At 425 grams, this is the heavier end of the Darkhorse defensive line — same carbon composite build, same Impact Shield™ construction, more material where it takes the hits. If you're a close defender who plays physical and has snapped more than one pole, this is the one. Built for Performance. Not Marketing. We stripped everything unnecessary out of the Darkhorse line. No oversized logos. No loud graphics. No added weight for looks. Just pure performance. A clean, carbon composite build designed to deliver consistency, control, and real durability. What You're Getting Two Darkhorse-425 Carbon Composite Defensive Shafts (60") 425g build — the heavier, more reinforced end of the Darkhorse defensive line Black, white, or one of each — graphic-free either way 3D Raised Checkered Grip Built for close defense and physical LSM play $107.49 per shaft — versus $154.99 for a single Performance Breakdown ✔ 425g — Weight Where It Counts More material than our 375g pole.

You file a warranty Or you buy another We skip all that. You get two from day one. Break one → grab the other → keep playing. 2-packs carry no separate warranty — the second shaft is the replacement, already in your bag. 425 or 375? Same build. Same Impact Shield™ construction. Same grip. Same colorways. The difference is weight — and it comes down to how you play. Darkhorse-425 — 425g. Close D, physical play, repeat breakers. More material where checks land. $214.99 for two ($107.49 each). Darkhorse-375 — 375g. LSM, transition, quick hands. Lighter in the clear. $189.99 for two ($94.99 each). Not sure? If you take wood, take the 425. If you push transition, take the 375. See the Darkhorse-375 2-Pack → Just need one?
