Graphite sticks, are they a real improvement or is the slight advantage ruined ...?

Question

... by the fact that they break way too often.

Answer 1

They don't break way too often if you buy a decent stick. Easton synergys are great and they'll last forever if you buy an appropriate flex- but that's the key. If you buy a flex that's too light they will snap, sure. you can only put so much force on any stick.

they're light, the help you shoot faster (not harder, that's a mis perception, but the release is much faster)

And actually, I would not recommends graphite. Those are cheaper and heavier. Try te carbon fiber- idfferent molecular structure for the matereial- tha's what the high end sticks are made out of, like the synergy, the one 90, the vector... Stuff like the Easton octane is graphite. those are cheaper though.

Answer 2

The difference is huge. I switched to a one-peice graphite stick last year, and my hands are much quicker, my shot is quicker, and it is easier to catch a pass. Very, Very, worth it.
