After my last TPS Graphite stick cracked last week, I decided to go out and find a new stick. I found one on Saturday and placed the order. It should be here by the end of the week.
Its a very light carbon based stick instead of graphite. The nice thing is that its a composite. I hate wood sticks. These composites last me a long time in comparison to their wood counterparts. For $175, it was a great deal online as well. These sticks go for way over $220 each.
