I have never broken sticks, not even wooden chopsticks, I use Vic Firth 5B and since I bought them just to try, I'm convinced!

They are very well balanced, they look solid but as I never breaks sticks, I have yet to test!

I prfere the attack they have on the cymbals, are more prcis so that after a few weeks, the olive wood chopsticks taient completely used and no longer attack the cymbals, ...

In short, for me, that's good!
