I got a VanCise  white oak slate over copper that almost plays itself. Very easy to talk turkey on this pot. I haven't conditioned it at all since I got it. It hasn't needed it.

hard To pick one I luv my Cody's, parks gobbler slate, a Mabry and a real old 3" sneed I have from years  ago. Have a Dawkins in plastic that's good too.

Cody world class , Cody spec 1 , Eddie Wynn's persimmon and zebra wood . I have piles of pot Calls and these 4 sound best to me. I also forgot a Platz cherry that has fooled quiet a few birds.

Spring Allure is the best slate in my vest.  Dave Tyree, Lonnie Mabry, and an ancient HS Strut Pocket Series small slate are next

Own a pile of pot calls, lots of slates included. My two favorites are my Tim Sandford inlayed Myrtle Slate over Aluminum, and a Ricky Padgett (ccleroy on here) Leopard Wood Slate over Glass.
Calls are subjective to each person playing them, but these are my favorites at least. They both play soft and sweet just as easily as they can be screamed on, both really versatile.

Paul Durham Osage green slate/glass is outstanding

BottomLand54

Everyone's different but I'd say a red slate over glass in a blue mahoe pot with a 1 piece Osage striker or a 1 piece ironwood striker.

Or a purple slate over glass in a persimmon pot with a 1 piece diamonwood striker

Or a red slate over glass in a persimmon pot with an Osage or ironwood striker.

Each there own.

I am not call biased

I like mike yingling

Jody Harrison(preacherman) red slates

And I love Jim Shelly persimmon Hill cAlls class calls

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.
