PK q5 compared to bab PSgt

[TroutSc]

I have the q5(295) and the pure storm gt for demo right now.
I play comparable with each of them. It would take a long demo to really know which fits better but figured I get some others input in comparing these two sticks. I play often and picked these as demos due to the softness of the bab, i like other babs (apd) but my elbow doesnt. from what I have read the pure storm has a reputation as being soft/arm friendly. The pk is stiff (63 on the bab vs 66 on the pk) but the pk has the whole kinetic thing going for it.
I play singles and doubles, topspin focused style, and will be sticking with hybrid string job on either one. Currently playing with a volkl pb7, but like the 98/100s better. I liked the pk and the ps both, want to keep my elbow happy since I try to play everyday. Can anyone compare these 2 sticks? pros/cons, attributes, etc?

also demo'd the formula 100, liked it alot too...but the 69 stiffness rating scares me a bit when thinking long term. thoughts?

No one ?? Come on guys, I've got racquet fever and just need a nudge.

The Pure Storm is solid. If it's any consolidation, at my Div1 University, our number 1 player uses it bone stock, and he's facing a ball way huger then what most of us do! :razz:

(Plus, I'm a sucker for the red and white Paintjobs! Hence my love of the Tours and LTD's!)

I have not hit with the Storm but own the Q5. Looking at the specs and reviews of the Storm I would go with the Q5 based on just arm comfort. The Q5 is lighter and slightly more flexible but you can add weight if needed? I am a hard hitter in my 40's and have played with most of the popular sticks over the years and really like the Q5 for its abilities and arm friendliness.
