Re: Is there a thinner hickory stick than a 7A?
I like the VF AJ1 stick, as well, Larry. It has a larger diameter at the butt than 7A, but has an extremely long taper down to a small acorn tip, giving it a lighter shank than most 7As. The overall weight of the stick is very light, and the thin shank gives it a very light touch.
My hands don't like an extremely small diameter stick, so this one has worked well for me when I need something light.
