hey do you guys have a game stick that you only use for games, and a practice stick that you use to practice with and throw with friends and stuff?

Most people have a Game stick they use every day, games and practices, and a back-up. if you continuously switch sticks, it can throw off your consistency in passes. especially if the sticks are strung differently.

i have a game stick a wet stick and a backup. but all strung the same so the throwing wont be different. all the sticks are exactly the same expect a minor change for the wet stick. you can do it that way if you want but it doesnt make much sence

i could switch between 2 if i wanted...both of my sticks are strung teh same way and throw and perform alomst identically. it doesnt make much sense to switch, get used to whats working for you for the long haul.

I have a nemesis as my main stick, and an abyss as a backup. They are strung the same, I only do this because the abyss stands up better in cold weather than the nemesis does. I have already broke on nemi in cold weather.

Yeah... I practice with my backup middie stick and my bro uses my good stick until I buy my Nemi. We shoot on my shed which is like two times bigger and the middie stick is like 1/4 of the size of the goalie stick so I guess I'll be good with a goalie stick lol.

i say stick with one backup and a good one you use everyday practices and games and only use your backup if something happens to your good one

who here uses an attack shaft instead of a goalie shaft.I do and it's increased my performance majorly.

Oke, now on topic:
I have 2 sticks, strung exactly the same way. The difference with my game stick is that my practice stick is weighted.
