Has anyone ever experienced this?
I don't think it's a technique issue. It started about a month or so ago when I switched to VF SD4 maple sticks. I started experiencing a slight soreness in my right wrist.
I injured this wrist a few years ago but I haven't had any real issues with it, since I let it heal properly; no rushing back into playing, heavy lifting, etc.
I have heard that maple sticks don't absorb shock like hickory does, and I felt that, especially when playing a cross stick. I felt a jarring in my knuckles that I never had before.
I have tried many, many sticks over the years and thought I had finally found my stick but the wrist issue became too much. I switched back to the VF 7A and within a couple days, there is hardly any issue at all. However, now the 7A feels heavy and sluggish compared to the SD4. The search is on again for my stick.
I just played the Vater 7As and really liked them. They are my first pair of Vaters and they seem really nice. They are definitely weighted differently than VFs. Not band, just different. I found them to be much better than the VF 7A.
