I've had pairs that lasted a while, and just recently had a stick break on me in literally 20 seconds of playing. I hit fairly hard, but not THAT hard. Stick broke clean through, hadn't even started chipping yet, thats a faulty stick in my opinion.
I also had significant weight differences with the pairs I ordered. I ordered 6 pairs. I'd say 2 or 3 of them were good or ok. 2 had one stick that was probably 25-35% heavier than the other, I had to mix and match pairs to make them work. That should not happen. I also had pairs that where both sticks were way heavier than other pairs. And noticeably so. I typically buy vater because they have tons of options, but I was pretty dissapoitned with my last order of these.
