I would be stuck between 4 and would not know which to chose, here they are in no particular order.
David Halloran Ipe
JLH Frogwood
Neal Herman's Dymondwood
Stuckey Tulipwood

I just started to use Perssimmon this year and am really liking those as well as Black Locust.

Probably a birch laminate that a friend made for me.  It works on about everything.
I have a Tulipwood that works on 90% of surfaces that I've tried it on.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

Of all of the ones that I have run, if I had to pick one it would be my Macassar ebony from Neal. I've yet to find a call that it doesn't make sound good.

Pete Peters dymond wood flared tip. I've used it for 20 years or so. It works on nearly any call surface. I left it in the woods once and drove 140 miles round trip to retrive it.

Just got one of JLH'S new "Bullfrog" strikers. It definitely talks turkey on every call I've ran it across so far! :z-winnersmiley:

Anything dymondwood.   Also, make it a thin striker.   Love the realism from the dense woods.

I'll take a hickory striker over most any.

I'm a pot call guy.  With that being said, I have plenty of different strikers from different call makers.  Since most have given HIGH praise for Jeff Harrison's Frogwood, I contacted Jeff a couple weeks ago and received one of his Emerald Isle Frogwood laminated birch strikers recently.  I put the striker through it's paces this week on slate, crystal, ceramic and aluminum and it performed flawlessly.  The sound was Great and the rollover was perfect, on all surfaces.  I called Jeff and talked turkey, golf and family for about 30 minutes on Wednesday night.  Great guy and GREAT striker.  I've found my new #1 striker.  So much so, another Frogwood is in the works.

I'm absolutely with you and that was the sole purpose of me posing the question: try to see what showed up more than any other with the hope being it was someone I didn't have. I didn't own any JLH strikers. I ordered one of his new bullfrog strikers and have been blown away by it. I'll be getting one of his regular frogwoods as well as one of his "dirty hickory" strikers.
