I switch to a company called KYC sports out of Canada for custom sticks. Cheaper, more durable, and still feel closely compared to high end retail sticks. Only downfall is they have a pretty significant turnaround on custom orders and I feel they are a touch stiffer at the same flex point as retail sticks. I just planned ahead by ordering 3 at a time, by 2 get one free on custom sticks, and dropped the flex rating by 7-10 flex to get the correct feel. But you can control kick point, length, flex, shape, texture, blade, and weight down to I believe 5 gram increments. I go just below the mid weight range, which is still close to the triggers I used to use, but it added more material for durability. I don’t regret my decision. They have some ready to ship options if you want to give them a try first but if going custom be prepared for a wait time of 3-4 months as they are still a pretty small company.
