Types of wood for your sticks

what kind of wood do you use in your sticks ?

I experimented a bit with some different types of wood but no "best type" came out, I either suffice with some simple wood for garden applications from the do-it-yourself store that is fairly cheap and easy to work with. On the other hand, I am now waiting for plastic sticks from Sven

I use marine plywood (in dutch its called betonplex)
Its moisture resistant and it is very strong and it doens't wear off quick. Playing with them now for about a year and their still great!

i found iroko/kambala to be the best for me. it's a lighter/softer wood, very moisture resistand, but wears out in a season or two.

I have just switched from wood to these NZ bats!
No painting, no chipping, no sharp edges!
The bats for me are fantastic!

the NZ bats are nice but i recon they don't give you a lot of feel for the puck

i'm pretty sure my bats are pine; it's been so long since i've had new ones i've forgotten

belle I have nz bats , but there´s a big difference between right handers and left handers , the left handers are made of " old " right handers so they dont come out so good .

thanks todd. and did you make it or ask some place to do it for you ?

I belive that Mahagonny works best. It tends to peel of nicely, as you play with it and its not too heavy. Its very compact, so it lasts long enough. Teak is also good, but expancive and hard to shape.

Torto - the bats are made by my old man
