i absolutely despise brine. their gloves are flimsy and for the price, so are their sticks.
i have a harrow D-pole with a warrior revo pro, its pretty sick, but the stick is way heavy.
for my shortstick (just to use in the backyard and shit) i have a stx crankshaft with a K18 head (a couple years old). its pretty sick, and i love the shape, i kinda want one in a d-pole.
sticks (from personal experience)
STX
pretty much any newschool type grip is sick, the more you want to spend the better i guess (ie: titanium, scandium, alloy, ect.)
GAIT
gait ice is definitely a sick choice, and the silencer is the same thing - the grip stuff
WARRIOR
pretty pricey, but anything like the krypto pro and above is god
BRINE+MAVERIK (only if you are heart set on buying one)
the mikey powell shafts for sure (swizzle. swizzbeat ect)
maverik = wonderboy
these two break easy, or at least i have seen countless brine+maverik shafts break.
other: harrow is sick, they are composite
