Hey Robyn.I have been playing Nylon tips for, well, let's just say a LONG time....I really like them because of the consistency- they are always bright on the ride and the Nylon tips never get mushy or out of round on you.It DOES change the sound of the ride for sure, so you may not like it for this reason, but I have always liked the consistency over time.Have fun out there!
Hi J!m, i actually have a cup'l pairs of sticks that are nylon tipped and like them very well, as matter of fact i perfer nylon, but also really liked the hornets john gave me. i liked the way they felt in my hands, easy to hold on to and ballanced very well. if they make the hornets with nylon tips i would definently pay the price for them and order two pairs but so far all i can find is wood tip. thank you for your tip and you are right...there is a different sound between wood and nylon especially on the ride.
