I also like the ralphies

I have found that the Ralph Hardimons vary in weight a lot. I like the ScoJo's, but those are just as beefy. Would the Ralphie Jr. be too small for your line?

i wouldnt use ralphie jr. they just seem to small. Get the real deal teach those kids to control there sticks.

scott johnsons all da way

My favorite sticks are the Aungst outdors. That's just because there heavier, and make you work to play the music.

you got to go with the Aungst's, indoor or outdoor

Hardimon indoor sticks are great, I also felt a great pair of McNutt sticks recently.
The Queen solo stick is really fun to play with.
The Stevens tenor stick from Pro-Mark feels great.
My favorite IP stick is the Rennick.
I usually just go through everything at the store until I find a pair that feels great.

hardimons! (nylon tip)

It is possible to get a bad pair. Sticks are VERY inconsistant because wood is inconsistant.
We all have wasted our money on a pair of sticks because they are warped, mismatched, light, or funny sounding. You can't blame the type of stick though, it's probably just that pair.
