I would just like to know stuff about them, anything you know, or if you have ever used them, personal opinions on them, thanks.

I used Regal Tip marching sticks in marching band quite a few years ago now, and they were absolutely tough as nails. Based on that, I bought a pair of Regal Tips for drum set use from Musicians Friend a couple of years ago and they were the crappiest pair of sticks I'd seen in a very long time. Make of that what you will. If I ever buy another pair, it will be because I tried them in person and liked them.

Regal Tip sticks are manufactured in Niagara Falls, NY by Calato. They invented the nylon tip drum stick in 1958.

I tried them a couple of times when i was at a friends,
cant say I liked them too much though as they seemed to have been coated in some kind of varnish or something, made it feel realy weird and kinda clamy.

Maybe it was just those types, maybe not.
