We wanted the pivot point to be high because we initially wanted to be able to bring it all the way over to help trap the ball and keep possession while moving at high speeds, and yes, the carbon is wrapped around 1/16 aluminum. This makes the bars wrapped with carbon lighter while retaining the strength of 1/8 inch thick aluminum used by most teams.
