    Easton S19 Grip

    Flex: 85 uncut

    Curve: Heatley

    Height:6'

    Weight:170

    Position: RW or Center

    Time Frame: around 20 games, playing 3 times a week

    Recent Sticks: Bauer x60, Bauer one95, Warrior dolo DD (dragon)

    Intro: I've only played ice twice with this stick, so this review is based on roller hockey on ice court. I loved my x60, but wanted to go back to a mid curve, which my lhs didn't have in stock. I saw the s19, like the way it felt, and sad "why not?". Ive loved the kick of it since day one.

    Looks: I think that Easton always does a good job with graphics, and this stick is not exception. I love the white highlights on this stick, and it isn't too flashy. Great design and very clean looking. 10/10

    Weight: Lightweight stick, although not as light as my x60. Im not a weight whore, I actually don't like overly light sticks, like the CCM Cl.The one thing that does matter to me, is balance. This stick has great balance, without feeling fragile or shaft heavy. Again, no complaints 10/10

    Blade Feel: This is where the stick is humbled. Although it isnt as bad as the s17, it is'nt anything worthwhile. It felt softer than my x60, but still fairly pingy. Although, the blade accepts passes fairly easily but still has alot of "pop" on shots. It seems to shoot true and this makes up for the bad feel for me. I tape my blade to the mid-heel, and it hasn't shown much wear. It has not started to chip yet, even though ive heard some complaints about the blade breaking. Overall, I think it deserves 8/10

    Shaft: It seems to be true to flex, but has gotten slightly whippier as it has broken in. Not great change in flex, just minor. Its probably closer to an 80 now. The shaft shape is great, and feels very comfortable in my gloves. 9.5/10 because of the slight change in flex

    Shooting: It kicks very hard on all shots. The mid-low kickpoint is great for all shots for me. I can really lean into my shots and feel the shaft kick. The release is quick, and my goalie has told me that my shots have gotten faster, especially my snapper. I take alot of shots, being the sniper I am,:laugh: and it has helped me gain confidence in my shot. Definitley the best aspect of the stick, so 10/10

    Passing/Stickhandling: As I said, the blade is very "poppy", but accepts passes fairly easily. Definitley better for accepting passes then my x60. On the giving end, passes come off the blade very true and easily. As all roller players, I like to stickhandle and do my fair share of moves. The balance and lightness of this stick helps, along with the lively feel of the blade. Again, gotta be a 10/10

    Durability: No chipping on the blade yet, which I am happy about. As I said, I tape my stick to the mid heel, exposing a bit of the blade to the rink. I expected to have more wear on the blade then I do by now. Not in any means a bad thing! The chrome graphics on the shaft died fairly quickly, the parts of the letters on the corners of the shaft wore off fairly qhickly and the whole letters are starting to peel away. No structural damage, but don't expect the graphics to last long. 9/10

    Conclusion: I would definitley buy another one, It is practically everything that I could ask for in a stick. The sticker shock is a very large obstacle, but Easton made a stick that is deserving of that price. Easton did not dissapoint with this stick! Overall: 9.75

    The good news: Me and my friends' team is 9-0 and if we win on saturday we will be the first undefeated team in years. The bad news: We are playing a team with one loss and 3 of the top 10 scorers, and we are missing our two best defensemen, one of which is our top scorer and is #2 in the league... I guess dreams dont come true.

    My lhs marked down their cnts to 165 if I remember correctly. Their one95s are 235 and they have a xxxx for around 190. They mark their stuff down to alittle less than the prices you see online originally after it just becomes outdated. Now that the cnts are a few years old they dropped them lower. They always sell the stuff so I guess the owners strategy works!
