[Easton Stealth S19]

Easton Stealth S19

Curve: Iginla (non-grip)

Hall (non-grip)

Time-frame of use: First one (iginla) : Since January 2011 ; Second one (Hall) : Since November 2011

Previously used sticks (6 months) : Bauer One95, Easton SE16 , S19's

Aesthetics: The look of the stick is awesome. It is so different from the other stick I simply love it. (10/10)

Weight and Balance: The S19 is not one of the lightest stick's on the market but still, it is very light. (9/10)

Blade: The blade is very stiff and durable, the feel is simply incredible (10/10)

Shaft/Flex: The shaft feels like an 85 flex wich is good because I previously bought sticks that were a lot stiffer then what they were supposed to. If I had to describe it quickly, I would say : Quick release. It is increadible how fast the stick releases after flexing. You are able to load a lot of power in you shot. (10/10)

Stickhandling and Passing: It is very easy to recieve passes and the feel for the puck is excellent wich helps for the stick handling. (10/10)

Shooting: I have never shot so hard with a stick. The elleptical profil really helps with the accuracy. (10/10)

Durability: My first S19 (the iginla) is still in really good condition and I have had it for 11 months! My second S19 broke after only two weeks of use. I guess there was a manufacturing damage with this one. (6/10)

Conclusion: This is my favorite stick of all time. I have never been more confident when I'm on the ice, I just love how the stick feels in my hands. (9.5/10)

The toe of the blade is dammaged, I fixed it with epoxy. (7/10)
