Non-Newtonian material reacts to the kind of forces applied to it: the higher the forces, the more resistance the material gives. This means that ReaFlex is especially efficient at dampening micro-vibrations.The variable diameter taper profile with more material on the outer edge, where more contact is made, reduces hand pressure and enhances further dampening. Soft, flexible ribs around the thumb and forefinger area improve grip and prevent slipping. The half-waffle and triangular tread blocks provide extra finger traction and control. The grip interface is soft, promising a good balance between tactile feel and durability.
