TL;DR, using the sticks is easier said than done.

Has anyone actually had to use them, and have the attempts been successful?
I had to use the stick that I had twice, but I never had a jam that involved more than two balls. Both times were during hybrid period, and I was able to un-jam the net with relative ease. It probably took me at most a couple of seconds to poke the balls free.
