Easton SyNergy ST (2010 version Non-grip 85 flex Zetterberg) 5'7 130 lbs Bantam AAA Time frame of use-About 3 months on ice 3-4 days a week Position-Primarily Defense but occasionally I play wing. Aesthetics: I really like the looks of this stick black with orange and gray lines placed on the shaft with a white Easton written down the shaft. 9/10 Weight and Balance: This stick is on the heavier side but thats ok with me because the stick is balanced quite nicely if anything a bit blade heavy. I'll sacrifice the weight for the added durability. 8/10 Blade: The best part of this stick in my opinion. This stick's blade is great. I would compare it to a ONE95 blade it stayed stiff the entire time I used it. The blade has a great feel although it is a bit thick. The paint on the blade chipped a bit on the toe but didnt affect the performance one bit. 9/10 Shaft/Flex: The shaft of the ST is very boxy and on the non-grip version the stick has a slick kevlar finish, I really liked the finish on this stick, easy to slide my hands down the shaft to my liking. This stick flexed as marked seemed close to an 85 maybe a bit whippier. 9/10 Stick Handling/Passing: stick handling with this stick seemed fine nothing out of the ordinary. Receiving passes was difficult at times with the puck bouncing off of the blade on some harder passes, and I also got some vibrations up the shaft. 8/10 Shooting: The first month I had this stick shooting was fine but after that it was downhill. The stick lost some of it's pop on slapshots and I felt a bit of a lag when I really leaned into a shot. My snappers and wristers seemed ok though. 6/10 Durability: In my opinion the biggest upside to this stick, it is a tank. I've taken many hacks and slashes and the stick is holding up pretty well. At the bottom of the shaft the paint has chipped a lot and even at the top of the shaft. 10/10 Final Thoughts: For $160 bucks this stick is a pretty good deal. It gives out great performance with one of the better blades easton makes. I really like this stick and I plan on picking one up in the future. 59/70
