Answer 5

Wooden sticks are easier to recieve the ball with (more give), but are difficult to come by - and are never consistant. I would recommend a composite or fiberglass stick, as you get the same stick every time, and they are more durable - less likely to break in half. It is more difficult to recieve the ball tight, but you are going to get more power on your hit with a composite stick. I would recommend purchasing through Longstreth.com, as they are excellent to work with, and guarantee most of their equipment. Hope it helps - this is an excellent sport, and I wish you luck & success.

Answer 6

Fiberglass is much better because it can be made to flex a certain amount according to your strength. They are also lighter.
