I don't think you would be seeing them all over. If that were the case, far more people would be using Base 2 and 1 piece sticks. I'm in a huge hockey market, and people always ask me what my "Base" stick is.
The fact of the matter is, almost all hockey players out there are fine with the retail curves out there (even though it totally sucks the options are dwindling). We are niche group here, and an extremely small (but awesome) part of the hockey playing community. Most players don't break down all the minutia of a stick. Its "give me my P88 in 85 flex, and I'm good to go". We are a different breed.
STX is seemingly taking the right steps to do what they feel is the right thing to maximize profit and market properly.
Base is basically the only viable retailer doing this. While I like their products (I own numerous shafts and blades), there are downsides. The fit and finish of the final product leaves something to be desired at times, as does the turnaround time. I still support them, and love what they provide. I'm just being honest about a couple small annoyances.
Looking forward to my RX3 too. It arrives Monday.
