Flare tip or straight tip?

[ScottS]

What types of strikers do you guys/gals prefer and what are the pros/cons of each?

[Gooserbat]

Straight with a well rounded bevel.

I use the regular tips, I just don't see where you get any more contact with a flair tip unless the segment and arc are sub stanchably different on the tip.

I use both. Whichever one sounds the best on a call that's what I run on that call.

[Gamblinman]

I like a flair tip, but use whatever works.

Most of mine are flair tipped. I have two straight tipped

[VA_Birdhunter]

Straight Tip for me!

Straight.  The flared gives too flat a sound for my taste, too much contact with the surface for proper inflection.
