I don't weigh my sticks, so I couldn't say how much lighter, but anyone who's been playing a while will definitely notice the nimble feel.

All in all, a really nice feeling set of hickory sticks

I like the feel and weight of these sticks

Great sticks great feel

I was a bit apprehensive about the coating on the stick thinking it might give it an unnatural feel

Nice feel and they work really well

I love the feel and idea of these sticks - however, the tip flew off about 5 songs into a rehearsal

Overall this is a solid pair of drumsticks with a nice feel to them and my son enjoys playing with them.

Good ballance, good feel.

Did not use got them and did not like the feel

I enjoy the feel and sound produced from these sticks when playing.

These are nice feeling drumsticks, and they do act as advertised and get a little tacky when they get warm and moist

I really enjoy the balance and feel of these sticks

I tried different solutions including rosin and racquetball gloves, but they're either too sticky or totally destroy the feel of the stick

Great feel

and I really like the feel of these

He loves the feel of these sticks, and likes the fact that they're lighter than his old ones.

They tell me they are way better than the ones which came with the game, and they really like the feel of the grips.

the feel and flow of my drumming was so much better and I had a lot more control

The ActiveGrip technology does what it says, giving a somewhat tacky feel, but it is far from "sticky" and didn't notice it getting any different as I played.

So it's a nice feeling to not have them fly out of my hands, which was happening way too much before I got these.
