Mazon's Black Magic Fusion Limited Edition GK. Way too long a name.

Warning: This stick has a very heavy head, putting the centre of balance closer to the head than normal. I've gotten used to it but it can put you off for a while.

I voted Mercian Znake but actually in the pre-season friendlies I've gone back to my old Wasp Z10 so I should really have voted for that.

The blue TK Keepa is perfection, IMO.

Second for me is the Dita, then the Fatboy, G500, and GX5000

Last season I used the TK Keepa. This season I've tended to favour a clunky old Dita something-or-other outfielder stick. I just prefer the extra weight.


Edit: So I voted 'outfield outdoor', rather than TK

Weird you should say that - I was clearing out my basement, and I found a Mercian Manta indoor stick as well.. I think I should try it out when I get into the indoor season!

I use a GX5000 stick but I just realized it REALLY hurts when you get a hard shot off the stick. Bad vibrations...other than that...i LOVE the stick.

Yea one of the keepers in school uses the GX5000. He complained quite a lot about the vibrations after he stopped a drag flick during training.

I use a kookaburra resist. I love it. Very different to the tk. But I take both with me just incase i feel one has let me down (read snaps). I think the head on my tk is gona go. O well.

Yeah I thought my hand was going to come off after the bullet shot. It nearly put me off the stick completely, but it has done such great things for me so I can't exactly part with it. Love it too much.

My Slazenger Demon. Would really like to get me the GX4000 SAVE. Tried it out one time and it was awesome! Only problems are:
1) Don't know where to buy it.
2) Haven't got nearly enough cash. Maybe I should ask Santa Goalie for one for Christmas! Lol

I was thinking of buying one field GX4000 indoor for the indoor season and probably next year I'll get something heavier/stiffer for outdoors if I don't decide to play only indoor.. :D

Have been using the Mercian Viper for years now, like the chunky grip and I'm able to get plenty of zip of a clearance with it!

Mercian interceptor. Works fine, medium weight really. Not chunky, not too  thin. I find this great because it is in the middle really, with enough weight to mess around with the ball on the ground, and it is light enough to make some of those spectacular, diving, mid-air saves with it!

A very good stick if you want something in the middle!
