Customer Rating: Summary: Review of Twisted Hickory Walking Stick Comment: I really like it. It is nicely finished and is an impressive staff of fine wood. It has a sturdy feel and enough heft that you know its there when you need it. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for walking with my dog Comment: This is my second purchase of this product. I gave one to my husband for his birtday, but he never used it. I began using it and decided to buy one that fit my height. Now we both use them when we walk our dog. They are comfortable and sturdy. Customer Rating: Summary: Just Received My Stick Comment: Just received my walking stick which is a perfect height for me. I haven't had a chance to hike with it yet because it is so hot but all of my hiking friends just raved about it. Came very well packaged. Will let you know when I can actually use it. Customer Rating: Summary: Great quality, even greater customer service Comment: Words aren't adequate to describe the customer service at Brazos. I ordered this stick, and, upon receiving it, decided that it was a bit heavy for me. A quick call to the manufacturer solved everything - they custom made a new stick to my specifications. I am so pleased and tickled to discover a company who extends themselves above and beyond! The stick is higher quality than I expected for this extremely reasonable price, as well. Great finish, VERY solid stick. It will be with me on my daily hikes from now on. Customer Rating: Summary: very happy customer Comment: I was very impressed with how product was wrapped and was sent in very timely manner. Thank you .
The Hickory tree is a 'Carya', related to the Pecan. Though baseball bats are now primarily made from ash, Babe Ruth used a 47 ounce hickory bat. Based on our experience the sizing chart shows suggested lengths of staffs corresponding to individuals's heights. These are only suggestions.
