Performance Profile
What this tool is built to do.
Physical behavior changes with species, grain, finishing, and selected upgrades. Where a measured finished weight or balance point is recorded for this product, it appears below. Relative handling notes describe the established SSB profile rather than pretending every board behaves identically.
Why it behaves differently
The narrow 3/8-inch round section carries less mass and flexes more readily than the Consequence Cane. That produces faster handling, quicker recovery, and a more focused response.
Profile comparison
Compared with the Consequence Cane: lighter, faster, more flexible, and more sting-forward.

Product Record
Directive Cane Record
Lighter correction profile. Controlled bite. The Directive Cane is SSB's straight 36 × 3/8 inch round profile: lighter, faster, more flexible, and more sting-forward than the Consequence Cane.
Choose Ash, Maple, or Hickory. The standard Directive Cane remains clean and unengraved.
Build Standard
Each cane is cut, shaped, sanded, finished, and inspected by hand in New York. Product imagery shows SSB build references and material character. Natural grain, color, figure, finish absorption, and handmade details vary from piece to piece.
Ownership Standard
Adult discipline tool. Inspect before use. Handle only with consent, competence, and control. Store straight and dry, clean after use, and retire the cane from service if cracking, splitting, or other structural damage appears.
