I get where you're coming from. That said every single stick on their website had just a bunch of reviews complaining about the stick breaking. The volume of those reviews was tied to the popularity of the stick, not the durability. It was impossible to decipher any value from the reviews. I think you have to go look in other areas to learn about real durability issues.

I assume any good review is a paid spam post from the company, and the negative review is someone whining that their $400 stick broke in 31 days, or their $115 stick is heavy and sucks. The general public is (I am trying to find a polite way to say idiots)…. something. I don’t trust any equipment reviews from Reddit for the same reason. People with no background or knowledge holding forth like experts. Read/watch reviews from hockeyreviews.ca , and discuss equipment on here. This is literally far and away the best hockey equipment discussion place on the Internet. There’s no reason to read what some Karen who has never played hockey has to say about her 13 year old’s stick.

-CCM Ultra Tacks (incredibly smooth and consistent mid-kick) -Bauer Nexus 1000 (personally what I think is the last good Bauer stick made) and agreed about weight. I think sticks are getting way too light. I personally don't like playing with a sub 400g stick; the feel just is off.

Personally, I've never read/used the reviews on any of the sites like Pure Hockey, Hockey Monkey, Ice Warehouse, etc. I'll watch new gear breakdown videos some of them put out but if I want reviews I'll use google and read them on sites like MSH, S2K, or Reddit because, let's face it, the ones who are capable of giving a meaningful review aren't posting on the store websites, they're posting on sites like this one (and Reddit is a mixed bag, you have to weed through a lot of nonsense but sometimes you get some decent reviews).
