Don't know, I've only used Lou's SS. Worth the money, I wouldn't put anything else in now.

I've heard alotta good about the UMI one. I have the Lou's, but I'm about to order LCA's, a PHB, and SFCs from UMI and plan on picking up their short-stick just for kicks.

A piece of aluminum mine's made of steel
Get the UMI, it's great and some people have complained that the LSS is a bit too short. I couldn't be happier with my UMI, in price, quality, and performance.

Sorry but you are wrong. The UMI stick IS steel. I am a machinist and I know without a doubt what type of material it's made of. Not trying to argue or be a dick, but I know I am right.

Silly me... everytime I think about a UMI stick, I always think about that stupid Mustang one. You'd think as many times I have that thing in my hand I'd know wtf I'm talking about!
