I dont now? i never had the experiance to play with a brithbat. I think i must believe in you for this.

2. Thumb notches are bad for your thumb (check out my dad's thumb for evidence of this). My sticks have a fat enough handle to take impact on the pad at the base of the thumb.

i dont agree. i almost did break my thump playing with a stick without o notches for the thump.
On this time i can only play without hurting myself, and without to much flicking with a stick with a thump notches like my own models stick sometimes have. maybe because the handle is also made for holding and gripp. And the bump for the thump protect my thump against puck and sticks

3. index finger notches are a bad idea. Even the bat holding (ie non-extended) index finger is great for swerves


4. String is GOLD, only when attached on either side of the hand (not hanging off the wrist). I once broke a lanyard in a game and quickly realised that I don't actually hold onto my stick when i play.

I hate ropes for holding the stick attached to my hand. it is personly how you play.

5. Short sticks rule.

I agree.


6. For some reason, possibly purely a psychological reason, I need a bit of stick sticking out the back of my hand. I've made the exact same sticks without it and they just felt pissweak.
