It's hard to describe but I'd say a pingy blade vibrates and buzzes a lot. Graphite is super hard but light weight and that makes it really feel like a bouncy, buzzy mess. Putting foam or silicone in the blade helps dampen things. The harrow has foam to absorb the vibration and the thick walls and fiberglass help too.
Probably the worst sticks are cheap composites that have plastic feeling blades that vibrate plus shafts that don't have any kick. I never understand why people buy 50-70 dollar composites. They feel and shoot like crap and are heavy as wood.
My friend with the harrow rig has gotten pretty used to his, although he saidh prefers the dolomite shaft for shooting. My favorite shooting stick was a dolomite shaft and favorite blade was a Christian torch. I keep reading about how great Easton are for shooting and I've had synergy shads three times now. A goalie friend said I had my best shot with an Easton but they always felt off to me. I'm still tempted to try it again though.
