I NEVER use a push stick, they scare me to death. I always apply
downward pressure, typically I use a Gripper or a home made hold down
devise with a hook on the rear.

Ditto ... not enough "control", as far as I'm concerned.

I prefer the old "shoe" style "push" stick with a long "sole" that keeps
downward pressure on the work piece, as well as against the fence if need
be, way past the blade.
