What is you favorite tip style.
Full mushroom, round, flat, flared?
I usually like mine rounded, got a hold of one made by Wendell "Lights Out Calls" that is mushroom. Due to its small size its perfect.
Round.......but that's because it is all I've ever used. I don't know any different.
I prefer a straight, rounded tipped striker.
I have some of all the types and it doesnt matter as much as wood type to me it seems.
Rounded flare tip.
My striker tips are actually flared with a rounded tip. I have some from another maker that I would consider mushroom tipped... literally over 1/2" wide at the tip. The 2 that I have of his strikers sound great on almost any call I have run them on.
depends but I really like the flared
I prefer a rounded tip striker but very slightly flared is okay... I feel you can do alittle more with a rounded tip striker

Sorry Wendell, a flared tip with rounded end would best decribe this striker, I did say it was small. Runs good.

I really like Wendell's laminate strikers. What color is yours? I like it. Wendell's is the only flared tip I have used that I like. I think it's due to it's small size, otherwise I like straight round tips.

Not sure what he calls this pattern. You could pm him and ask. It looks similar to the Santos Zebra. It is a wood tone, grey and black.

I believe thats Turoise or Santos Zebra. I have a Dakota dymondwood that is very nice also.
I find the mushroomed tip easier to play and more forgiving, as you have more meat to play with, but I prefer straight tipped strikers. The point here is style, old fashioned...... but as far as them producing a better sound or not, I would believe it is determined by the material used, not the shape of the tip.
