Mike Morrison Joined: N/A From: N/A Posts: N/A I find I get fewer blisters and callouses when using rattan shafts instead of birch. (Yes, I use rattan with Musser/Stevens grip.) This is probably both because of the increased flexibility and the smooth surface of rattan shafts. Also, Band-Aids come in a new style ("Sport Strip") which is a soft foam strip, very nice for cushioning those sore fingers. Lastly, gripping the sticks too tightly can make blisters get worse.
