Water Breathing
Who it's for
Water Breathing is an OGKILS control frame — placement and a steady, precise feel. Its balance point sits at 296–299mm, making it even-balanced (a middle-ground feel), on a medium shaft. It comes in 3U · 4U. If you're not sure it fits how you play, the finder can match it against how you actually swing.
How it plays
Built from toray m46j, high modulus carbon fiber, the Water Breathing pairs a fuller shaft that stays stable through powerful hits (6.8mm) with a 76 slanted hole frame. The medium shaft loads and springs back to add repulsion, which is more forgiving of imperfect timing. It can be strung up to 30 lbs — a ceiling rather than a recommendation, so string comfortably below it for durability and cleaner control. You'll find it in G5 and G6 grips, on a 207mm handle, at a total length of 673mm. Use the spec guide if any of these numbers are unfamiliar, or line it up against another frame in the comparison tool to see the differences that matter for your game.
Frame
- Classification
- Control
- Balance ? BalanceHead-Heavy, Even, or Head-Light — a plain-language reading of where the weight sits. The measured balance point is the precise version.
- Even Balance
- Stiffness ? Shaft stiffnessHow much the shaft flexes on contact — stiffer shafts reward fast, clean swings; softer shafts add repulsion and forgiveness.
- 7.9–8.2 Medium
- Shaft diameter ? Shaft diameterHow thick the shaft is in mm — thinner shafts cut through the air faster; thicker shafts are more stable on hard hits.
- 6.8mm
- Frame holes ? Grommet holesHow many string holes the frame has — more holes can mean a denser, more controlled string bed; the pattern also affects feel.
- 76 Slanted Hole
- Frame area ? Frame areaThe area of the string face in cm² — a larger face is more forgiving on off-centre hits; a smaller face can feel more precise.
- 363cm²
- Grip length ? Grip sizeHow thick the handle is — G6 is smaller (thinner), G5 is larger (thicker). Grip your natural finger wrap prefers.
