Lighter sticks are normally with a solid low density wooden core made from a light hardwood such as aspen or ramin and reinforced with fiberglass. But wood sticks, unless you are a manufacturer with paid engineers, are almost impossible to gauge what the flex will be. Also most woodens sticks have a fiberglass core or coating. Wood sticks also splinter, fracture, and crack each time they are flexed which will inevitably lead to them breaking. Composite sticks are lighter, more predictable, and will last longer.
