I did try a search on this and came up with nothing so i decided to ask you guys...

which stick do you think feels the nicest when controlling, stopping, hitting, etc.

Im expecting malik to be popular with their "Soft Touch Feel" (that i love)

the only stick i've ever noticed (i've only ever really used composites) to have a real 'feel' for the ball was a grays 700i, i only got to mess around with it for a few minutes as it was a friends, but you just knew where the ball was and what it was doing all the time, although felt like it was going to snap into when you hit it (didn't hurt just seemed to flex) even though the ball absolutely shot off it.  Very nice stick.

Slazenger Demon. When I bought it the guy said it was composite, i couldn't believe it that compostite could have a feel like that. Turns out it was wood, wasn't angry though.

The Karachi King Carbo Hook that  came out in 1993/4 - prior to that, the Karachi King Kevlar was my fave Grays stick.

Good choice John!!  Wink

well i would go with and malik and kookaburra stick.reason being the handles are thin and the base are either sharp or heavy.if you have a strong arm bashing and flicking wont be a problem.strokes etc.
