I'd say get the aluminum MBs with rubber handles, but I'll report back on those after I've tried them out. Really - have you ever seen a sexier stick than the rubber handled extreme?
Heh heh, you wait till my Prototype Titanium handsticks come out...
I got them for free as an early birthday gift from Arjan Thank you Arjan!
I bought the Xtreme sticks with transparant handle at the EJC. I payed € 13,50. I put them on, and they came off really easy. So I returned to the shop. I had to wait in the back. Priam, Diabolumberto, Tom, and a few others were there as well. Enjoying the nice weather, trying the new stuff of MB, and helping people with problems - like me . Daniel said to me that the silicon/rubber handles are made for the deco underneath it. Without tape or deco, the handles come of. So I decided to put some tape on it. It worked for me. <clip>At that time I really liked the sticks. I heard about the grip and tops problems before on this forum, so I wasn't worried. Then something really stupid happened. Before my show with Arjan, I was practising backstage with my Xtreme sticks. I tried a infinite suicide without a wrap (the fast one ). After a few rounds I wanted to stop it, I failed, had a look at my sticks, and suddenly one of the grips wasn't there anymore! The grips were taped to the sticks, but still, I lost one of the grips backstage. Anyway, I couldn't find the handle backstage, so I went back to MB (for the 3rd time), and they were really friendly, taped my sticks - really nice - and I got a new handle for free.
I didn't realise there was a plastic threaded insert that the tips screwed onto
I thought they screwed directly into the tubing.
