Why R-sticks? I'm happy to support a Czech company whose technology allows for real custom design - i.e. design and manufacture the stick from the required weight, through the balance, to the shape of the tip, the type of surface and the final visual. Add quality, durability and superior service and you have a little miracle in your hands.
