i always make my handles first. if it doesn't feel right in my hand, it doesn't matter how clever the bevels and angles on the playing area are - it's going to sit in the bottom of my dive bag until all the others that colour are broken/lost/pilfered.

OK i will write about 2handed sticks.There are different views/visions all around the world.

But the comment was more to the material bit on his story.
He split hard and soft wood but not polyurethane and polyuratheen.

Polyurethane= Tilburg sticks and the wonder sticks from the US
Polyuretheen= Dorsal/brithbat/slovenian sticks

And the differents between them.
Like he did by hard and soft wood.

great. how about you do the dorsal material too?

it's certainly the most widely-used plastic stick.

off cource.
Iff the story that benson wrote became more complet people can learn more about sticks in every way.

I try to write that i think tommorow. But without my personal vision about the material but only like benson also did try the facts.(because i really dont like playing with a dorsal, but that has nothing to do with the material)
There are as much differents between polyurethane and polyuretheen as between soft and hard wood. But making sticks with those sorts material is compleet different.
