Do you use Dorsall sticks or slovenian sticks?

There are some differents between wood or plastick

Wooden sticks most time are not well painted so they dont need any more gripp
Or are not as smoot before painiting and therefore dont need more grip in the beginning.


The Dorsal sticks and slovenian sticks are made from polyuretheen and need to have some more for grip
Not by sawing groves in it. That make the sticks only more easy to break. And indeed dont give any more grip.
Try to grasp with a very fine sawblade sideways over the sticks. (that gives very fine lines)
That is the only teksture you need with polyuretheen sticks.
And the polyurethaan made sticks like the Tilburg sticks and the Wonder sticks.
(sometimes it good enof to only sand them. You dont see groves or teksture you only feel it then)
But for longer gripp we do grasp sideways with a very fine sawblade over it.
It gives gripp and gripp you need for controll the puck
(Most wooden sticks have more teksture)

But never by wood or plastick saw groves in it.

@ Belle
Do you have cut out the palm from the new glove? :shock:
That we did not have tested by that type glove.
But indeed sometimes it is nessesairy to feel the stick beter.
Some glove are to thick on the handpalm side so you dont have grip and feelling.
