The Chronic’s solid build and great all-around performance made it popular among testers. We could pick it for the fire-breathing dragon graphic alone, but underneath that is a solid maple and aspen core with a thick and durable base, and edges that taper off toward the tip and tail to reduce swing weight. One tester commented that the “waist width makes it very stable while the slight early rise adds to the ease of butters.” Others reaffirmed that it has great pop and buttery tendencies.
