Explorers 2B Wood Tip

I have always used VF American Classics. I play high energy rock and would break 1-3 sticks per show. I purchased these on price point alone and played a show that night. Balance was great, Broke 1. For half the price of VF, I will buy more. Great stick. Caveat; Pick thu them and make sure there are only slight or no grain issues, as the one that broke had a heave dark grain line along which it broke.
