I`d have to agree with the FS 2 by Innovative, I have been playing on a gum rubber pad with some Pro Mark DC-17`s and just noticed they are very warped. Maybe I got a bad pair but if a few more try them out and find the same thing I would suggest not getting them.

I just started using the Tim Fairbanks sticks by Innovative. They're a new model from last year I think. I picked up a pair at WGI last year. Not only do they feel great, but they sound amazing. They have a very distinct dark sound that makes it near impossible to sound like you aren't playing with enough velocity. By far, my favorite sticks ever.
