I tried the black dipped, shorter, I believe hickory 7a from Zildjian and it was my 1st pair with ball tips. I have been experimenting with different sticks, mostly 7a, and really dug the ball wood tips. Lo and behold , I stumbled upon the Maple green dip Zildjian long 7a’s with wood ball tips. I’ve been switching between the heavier , shorter black dip, and these long , lighter green dips. Love em both. The ball tip is great for playing top of hats and ride, as well as snare and Tom’s. If you play 5 a or b, you need to play some 7a’s. Perfect for jazzier playing . Zildjian is making great sticks right now and all drummers owe it to themselves to try them. A+++!
