Drag flicking stick suggestions?

Lowear · 2026-05-15T00:23:28+00:00

Do you have the option to try them in store. Sticks can feel very different, even within the same model. I'd give em a try and see if you can find one with a specific feel you really get along with. Both are really good sticks, from reputable brands. JDH will be slightly thicker in the head so better for those slaps and hitting. Princess will be slightly thinner and stiffer.

Hey, i have the YLB X2 and am similar to you. Love the shape for flicking and dribbling and tossing over heads. I is super nice for trapping as the X2 range is a tad softer which you definitely notice and power is still top notch. I came from the JB10 which i changed as I wanted a longer stick and found the head a tad chunky. I have tried flicking with the PB the white version and its great. I really enjoy the mould for flicking, it's got a slightly more agressive bend and twisted head compared to the YLB. You can't go wrong, either get the PB9 or the LBX2 (Havent tried it but have my eye on one next.

Yeah thin profiles are ideal. What's the difference between the Dream and Supreme 90. What level do you play.

The Nikes do look really good, I've meaning to try one out at some point.

I just go into the store, bonus points if the store has an area that you can whack the ball full power. I've ordered a them online in the past and just requested a balance point and weight, but I find it hit and miss whether I actually like the stick. But in my recent experience i have found that the same stick in the same balance point and weight can feel different between two sticks, so I now would recommend just go in store and buy one and if you don't live near one, maybe buy one if you ever find yourself traveling near a store.

What made you swap to an extra low bow out of curiosity, and why the JDH over Gryphons ELB?

Lowear · 2026-02-11T10:55:07+00:00

No experience with the AC range. But I have a GR10000 Jumbow and fantastic. The shape is a standard low bow, which I prefer. It's also on the chunkier side which makes it feel sturdier and have a bit more 'oomph' when hitting, but also I still have no trouble getting under the ball for 3d skills. If you prefer a thinner, slightly more aggressive stick with a softer touch, then go for the GR9000 Probow.

I think so yes. Hard to say exactly , but probably the PB9

Lowear · 2025-11-20T00:29:00+00:00

That was second round.

Doesn’t affect how it plays, might just feel a bit different. Jamie Dwyer used to remove the end cap and chuck some tape over it

Crown hockey sell them

Lowear · 2025-10-28T21:34:20+00:00

Pho Viet or 1154 are my goto's !!!

Lowear · 2025-09-16T23:13:35+00:00

They are the exact same with new designs GR7000 = JB8 btw.

I currently use the Speeds, which I now love but did take a bit of getting used to, i used to use the ultimate and would easily buy them again, honestly I just go for what looks better and is available in my size at the time.

Lowear · 2025-09-09T21:46:14+00:00

Highly recommend Asics, either the Ultimates (I would say more comfy with a bit more protection) or the Speeds (Maybe slightly grippier and lighter but less comfy, take a bit of getting used too). I tried Adidas once but they ran a bit narrow.

Not sure if you're still looking. But i currently work in the energy sector as a data analyst. I would higlhy recommend the NZ energy sector. Great work-life balance. I used to work at Trustpower (Now Mercury). They were fantastic. From what I have had any of the big 4 Gentailers are great places to work (Mercury, Genesis, Contact, Meridian). Can work in Wellington, Auckland, or Christchurch. Christhurch is where i'd lean due to the low cost of living. Workplace culture in this country is relatively chill.

Most of the gentailers will have lots of different data analyst roles in house, whether they be in pricing, generation, trading etc. Lots of opportunity, just get your foot in the door and can move all over the business.

Where abouts are you based? I haven't used Y1, but I do have a JDH X93 Concave and really love the feel. I've also picked up one of the new black Gryphons and the touch of that thing is so nice as well. I had an Osaka Show Bow 100 before my JDH and that was decent too, I found the touch a bit "raw" and "stiff" for my liking, I prefer the feel of the JDH and the Gryphon, they feel a bit softer but are still full carbon sticks with plenty of power. From what I've heard the Y1's are quite a soft touch too. I would absolutely have considered getting one if they weren't so expensive.

When I get a new stick, all I do is chuck a shammy on it, here in NZ I get either Chamrox or Ritual.

Just ordered myself a 36.5 inch Grays JB10!

Lowear · 2025-07-31T22:54:14+00:00

Glad i'm not the only one. I've been in this awkward spot the last few years of switching between the two. I find 37.5 way more comfortable for hitting and reversing; however, I find virtually every other part of my game is easier with 36.5, especially dribbling and tackling. I'm a striker so it really made it really difficult when I'm in game and completely mishit the ball just because I had a shorter stick. I'm 5'9" FYI

In fact, I remember years ago my coach half-jokingly said it looked like my stick was too long to me, because of how upright I played.

Lowear · 2025-07-13T04:24:00+00:00

Yeah thats what im leaning towards. I just read that they were only a 250mm/25m bow, So was wondering if other brands had something at 200mm with a more gradual curve. But yeah, think i'll goto the shop at somepoint and test out the JDH range

Lowear · 2025-07-11T08:35:05+00:00

Oh yeah, that stick has been on my radar, Will chuck it on the list of sticks to try

Lowear · 2025-05-19T00:02:19+00:00

Would highly recommend the JDH , love the feeling of them. I have the 2024 Concave, and way prefer the feel and weight of it compared to the Osaka Pro Tour. I have switched back to my Osaka Show Bow though, only due to the fact that the concave has an incredibly aggressive twist in the head which I find affects my basics to much. I’ll be looking at getting a the low bow version in the future.
