Typically, a wood stick is heavier than a composite stick, but it's also considered (by some) to be more sturdy as well as give the player a better feel for the puck (hollow composite shaft vs. a solid wood shaft). Wood sticks also have a mid kick-point (where the shaft bends when a shot is taken) whereas a composite stick has a low kick-point. The difference being that the lower the kick-point, the quicker the release and the harder and more accurate the shot.
