Different citizen prefer separate weight. Get a "feel" for the stick or try the stick first. From my palpate Mazon and Mercian sticks are quite heavy on the head. Generally forwards player prefers lighter stick for a perfect ball dribbling and defends all the time use a heavy stick for a marvelous shot. Approximate weight use by types of player

Defense: 22 to 24 ounces

Midfielders: 21 ounces

Forwards: 19 to 20 ounces.
