Well, I've rounded out a group of a few grey skates that I'm very happy with. Looking to add a few new strikers that will excel on grey slate pots and thought I'd seek the sage advice of you folks. So if you could only have a couple strikers for grey slate what would you be carrying?

Cheers, Pete

Ipe and hickory come to mind right off. Oh and maybe persimmon.

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

JLH just made me several strikers for my gray slates which I am extremely pleased with. I would suggest contacting Jeff.

David Halloran's one piece persimmon is by far my favorite for grey slate but I also really like Halloran's one piece bloodwood too.

My Ipe is one of his one piece strikers, man I love that thing.

Thanks for the thoughts everyone, really appreciate it!

Id have to ask what do you want your grey slate to sound like?
There are a bunch of options to get the sound youre looking to get out of that call.
