I've been using this stick for about nine years now. A great all rounder, comfortable to play, articulate and a good, medium weight. Although a bit more durable than the Hickory or Maple counterpart, I still find the wood tips are prone to denting relatively easily- sometimes frustrating when the rest of the stick still has plenty of life in it!
For lighter music I find the stick is sometimes a tad too heavy, in these situations I plump for a thinner model such as the Pro-Mark Oak Jazz model.
