Reviews around stick (5.00 of 5)

  • The cipín weighs in at 41 grams and I personally prefer my sticks to be at around 32-37g.
  • But the stick is thin, so my wrist is not hurt by too heavy a stick.
  • He recommends straight sticks with no knobs on the ends.

Reviews around head (5.00 of 5)

  • My partner prefers the lighter, rounded heads
  • I will caution that it is a lot heavier than some other tippers, and that the rounded, squared heads can make it easier than merely rounded headed tippers, but I like it

Reviews around grip (5.00 of 5)

  • It is balanced well, smooth on the ends and a little less so in the middle which provides better grip
  • I will probably put a bit of handlebar/hockey tape on my favorite gripping spots, as it is a bit thin at the grip.
  • I only wish it had a notch or bump in the middle for a better grip, but even still, it's definitely worth the money.
  • I added cut sheep skin to the ends and do miss a middle knobs for better grip

Reviews around edge (2.94 of 5)

  • and it not only stopped the straws from moving or rotating, it also smoothed their rough edges as well, preventing a slight scraping sound on the drum.
  • Not sure if the harder edges will wear my bodhran down more (hope not).
  • I like the rounded edges
  • Sharp edges and very hard material; thought it was made of wood but did not seem to be.
