Bauer Total One Flex:87 Curve: P88 Time-frame of use: 6+months Aesthetics: Really loved the non-grip version of this stick :) 9/10 Weight and balance: Such a light stick! Not as light as my RS but still well balanced. 8.5/10 Blade: Blade was very nice to get used to. I like catching passes with one hand and they just stick to the blade. I also love the feel! Great to feel the puck in traffic. 9.5/10 Shaft/Flex: The shaft is nice, but a bit to thick in my opinion. I like the thin shaft of the RS a little better. The shaft is good but the tac spiral comes off very often. This leads to having to candy cane my shaft. My first TO broke in the shaft though so it was not so great on durability. 8/10 Stickhandling & Passing: I am more of a dangler and sniper. I dangle a lot in the offensive zone, so this stick helps for my stickhandling. I can also put the puck wherever it needs to go when passing. I can get it through 3-4 players to my player for the breakaway. So this stick is very good for both 10/10 Shooting: Shooting with this stick is very one sided. My one timers (a common shot I take) is amazing! I can nail them up to 94 mph with the total one. The only downside with this stick is I feel my snap shot and wrist shot are affected by the TotalOne. I cant aim as well with a mid kick as i can with a low kick. Also my shot seems harder and a faster release with my low kick RS. Great stick to use though for my powerplays. 8/10 Durability: I play the highest level of hockey here in Germany and my sticks take a lot of beating. I train probably 7 times a week and my first TO lasted for about 1.5 months. This is about normal with my sticks, due to a lot of training and games. It could of lasted longer but it was good while it lasted. My first broke in the shaft where the kickpoint is and my second broke in the blade. 7/10 Conclusion: This stick is a great stick for the person who dangles and does alot of onetimers. For the player that likes snapshots and wristshots like me, i think you should go with something else. The looks are great and really look good from the crowd. The durability is decent but not great. I would recommend it to people who liked the One95 and to D men. Overall i would purchase this stick as a back up and use it mostly for powerplays :) 8.5/10
