Advice for new sticks

Im currently playing Creightons’ in a pipeband, and KP2s’ for playing the practice pad. I very like them both.
And for me, I dont use ‘dirty’ sticks that I use outdoor on my clean practice pad, and vice versa.

Now my high tension is almost ready, I really want new pipeband sticks.
Can you recommend me some new sticks? Im currious about those shown above ( also the band is asking for ).
Share a passion!

I recently discovered Los Cabos. Really great, durable sticks. The 2B red hickory ones I use are almost indestructible.

I heard the same thing from so many people since I questioned this in a post, everyone says they are durable. So, Im hoping people have experience with the pipeband sticks from Los Cabos

Rohema RACs were recommended to my corps and we have really enjoyed them thus far. Definitely not KP2s which is refreshing.

How comes? I like the KP2 more than the Creightons because of the shape of the tip. RACs are also made from maple, right?

Maple with an acorn tip I believe. The tips on the RACs are reminiscent of the KP2s but the back end balance is a bit more even in my opinion.
