Finally got around to doing this. Review of Animal's GK stick Quite similar in shape to my TK G1 keepers stick although the head is not quite as tight a hook as the TK. The kink in the shaft is about the right size. In my opion better than the Gryphon or Grays GK design. weight wise its actually marginally lighter than my TK but feels slightly heavier when playing with it as the weight is balanced more to the head end. this may suit keepers who prefer a heavier stick. only quibble I had was that I didnt like the grip. too sticky and not absorbant enough for the Singapore climate. but as Animal said that is quickly resolved. replaced it with a towelling grip overall a very good keepers stick. definitely an alternative to the mainstream sticks. (will add a couple more photos in my album)
Nice work! I have recently started using this stick coming from an OBO skinny thing, and I am getting along with it really well! It's definitely balanced slightly further to the head, but I like that as it does feel more 'solid' as a result which gives me more confidence with clearances. In the cooler climate of Melbourne, I actually really like the grip and have happily kept it on. The ball seems to come off this stick with much more power than my Skinny, and it doesn't vibrate as much up through the shaft when I strike the ball hard. I think I will stick with this 'Attacker Whacker' long term and retire the Skinny to the bag as my spare. Great work Animal! (Sent from a mobile device - please excuse any typos or autocorrects!)
