Quality Reno
Our production method, which has remained virtually unchanged since 1946, involves the combination of two different types of wood : ash wood from the north of Europe - which is used to make the paddle, due to its elasticity which allows its to bend - and beechwood - which is used to make the handle, since it has a very clean, knot-free and highly durable grain.
The process of making a Reno stick begins in special coal-fired boilers, where the ash wood undergoes a water vapour bath , which allows you to bend it and shape it like a paddle.

After curving it, the paddle is made by joining two pieces of wood together and placing a vulcanised fibre core on the inside, which works to buffer any impact while playing. Once constructed, it is joined to the handle and the ensemble is mechanised using a numerical control machine and a manual polishing process to obtain the stick.
The stick is finished off with a treatment to seal any porosities in the wood, and a graphic image is applied, either using silk-screen printing or digital printing.
The process of hand-crafting each Reno stick aims to bring out the wood’s extraordinary qualities: channelling the feel of the game better than any other material.
