What are the advantages/disadvantages to using a composite stick?
Composite sticks offer several advantages over wood but also have several drawbacks associated with them as well. In general, composite sticks are thought to have greater striking power when hitting the ball. They also have a maxi toe construction which allows for greater lift when executing long flicks. However, most composite sticks do not have as nice of a touch as a wooden stick offers. Generally, wood has better ball control properties. Again, it is important to determine what your personal strengths and weaknesses are when choosing the stick that is right for you.
