What changes, what stays
If you already play a 5A, you'll feel no difference when your hand closes: diameter, medium taper and teardrop tip are identical. The gap is at the far end. The added half inch lengthens the lever arm, which Vic Firth translates into more power, leverage and reach. A four-pair pack also exists under another item code.
