yeah belle meant to give better grip on the stick there lewis, lots of people prefer to have their palm contacting the wood.

um, mate, personally i think you should make some decent wooden sticks or get someone to make em for you. if you like the shape of the dorsals then use them as a template for some wooden sticks, but if you are wanting your skills and pass etc to go a long way you may as well shoot yourself in the head now if you are going to use dorsals.

can i just repeat here again, the guys who use dorsals and get results, like in the freestyle video, use MODIFIED dorsals. they are thinned down and tapered and work far better than the basic design which is fat and chunky and yuck, good for schoolkids and beginners.

if you are prepared to go to a lot of trouble thinning down the dorsals after you buy them then fine, otherwise make wood sticks @ 16mm or so thick and you'll be a lot better off in the long run.

i think dorsals are great for farming out to lots of kids and beginners, dont get me wrong, but you have to realise when its time to move on to something more effective.
