TPS Response Plus Whip Flex Tkachuk Backround: 5 8, 140 lbs, Forward Blade: Feels just like a Synergy to me, but has held up well. 8.5/10 Flex: Coming fron an 85 flex Synergy this feels alot better. The flex definatly added a lot more zip to my slap and wrist shots. 10/10 Stickhandling/receiving passes: Coming from a Shanahan it's alot different but I'm getting used to it. N/A Shooting: I like shooting with this flex and curve a lot better than any other stick I've tried, definatly adds zip to my shot. 10/10 Weight and balance: Feels 10 times lighter than my Synergy. Response plus says 455 Synergy says 450. Definatly better. 10/10 Durability: Holding up well so far, barely a scratch on it. 10/10 Intangibles: Nice graphics and shape to it. Conclusion: By far the best stick I've used, blade can be improved though. 9.5 out of 10
