Fun guessing game about sticks

Posts: 22 Threads: 5

Pictured here are three hickory 7a sticks from three different manufacturers. They are different lengths by a few mms. I'm only showing the top halves to keep the branding obscure intentionally. What you see are the sticks laid out after I tapped all the butts level. Can you name the maker of each from bottom to top? Whoever answers correctly first will receive a cheap carnival prize, or my latest recording...

Also, has anyone else noticed this disparity in actual sizes named the same between stick makers? These three examples are not only different lengths, but they have slightly different weights and thicknesses...

Played VF for so many years, never even noticed the others (I'm so narrow-minded).

How about:

1. Pro Mark

2. Vic Firth

3. Vater

...that bottom one doesn't look like a 7a at all!

Everyone is a winner, when it comes to guessing Vic Firth!

So the answer is from bottom to top in ascending order:

1.Vater

2.Vic Firth

3.Pro Mark

If you misread, the original post, and named them in descending order, then congrats to BigE, and jimr_drumr for knowing their sticks.
