Fun Facts:
What stick do you use and why do you choose it?
I use the TK U1+ Extreme late bow, and I love the light feel to send nice big aerials down the field. I love the ball control it gives me to make decisions out of the backfield or midfield.

I love the TK Chamois grip; it gives me extra cushion and dries my hands when it's hot out.
