I tried a stick style dampner when I first started riding, thought it was pretty much worthless. Didn't feel much if any benefit, just seemed to make the steering stiffer. If someone gave me one for free I wouldn't run it. There are very few things that I regret buying over the years for my quads, a stick dampner is one of them. Felt it was a waste of money.
I would save your money and buy a rotary style dampner. In my opinion, they are the way to go. Never tried a CCP, but I have heard good things about them. Personally, I will always run a Precision, they have worked great for me.
