These sticks handle superbly and have an excellent finish. However, I'm in two minds about the dip coating.
At first, it seems like the dip would be ideal for those who suffer from sweaty hands, but it only works up to a point. I find that when the hands have properly built up a sweat, I'm better off with a plain wood stick.
However, if you don't have an issue with sweathy hands, then the dip does mean you can use a really light grip, enhancing control and dynamics.
