Kendall Longenberger
School: Boiling Springs High School
Stick of Choice: Grays DB10
Why did you choose this stick? I use the Grays DB 10 stick. I chose this stick because I liked how it was light, but not too light. I also enjoy how easy it is to hit and sweep with it because in the position I play, I tend to sweep/hit a lot. I also like the power I get from it and how controlled my first touch is when receiving.
