May be a dumb question, but what are they?

[Blackjack]

Sticks manufactured for professional and NCAA use.

Good discussion about them at the end of this thread.

they are sticks that are made for pros and have custom curves, flexes and what not. they arent going to match up to the retail stick patterns. they also dont have a warranty

[TBLfan]

A lot will match up to retail patterns, some will be tweaked, some just waaay different. They also have different options, a 95 and 120 flex are available. Z-Tac is still available(including non-Easton brands). Different graphics packages, custom length available. Even wall thickness of the shaft and blade thickness can vary. Fused wood blades are also available.

o and while we're on the subject of defining things, wat r ABS blades? wat does ABS stand for?

[TBLfan]

It's plastic. In some sticks the ABS is on the bottom of the blade to wear on outdoor surfaces without damaging the typically wood structure blade.
