So, it’s light, I’ll give it that. But I don’t see any major weight or construction differences compared to a HyperLight. At first inspection it appeared the elliptical taper started higher up the shaft but only slightly. Also the lower third to half of the shaft has no grip. Not sure it’s enough to justify the price hike, but I haven’t tried it yet. graphically Bauer knocked it out of the park, the stick looks great. Interested to see how it looks on TV, I’m sure that’ll be the real determining factor.

Saw them in stores last week. A weight chasing novelty with a $440 CAD sticker

JMO, before you start changing lacing patterns and looking for new skates, spend the $5 on some Howie's lightly waxed laces.
