Me: I'm either 5 foot 9 or 5 foot 10, weigh 133 lbs, I play competitive Hockey, I've used this stick for the second best division in Bantam Majors of Little Caesars this past year. Now I'm on to U16 and its survived tryouts. I use the Iginla curve, and I have no grip on the shaft. BLADE: The blade on this stick is very hard/stiff, which allows me for hard, and acurate shots/passes but when I receive a pass it seems to bounce off the blade of the stick. A plus of this stick though is that the feel when I stick handle is amazing. 8/10 Shaft/Flex: I love the shaft on this stick, the clear grip is amazing and the shaft isn't to big and bulky, so it's easier to Stickhandle, and take wrist/snapshots. The flex doesn't seem to whippy though the stick is starting to lose some of its power on slapshots. 9/10 Stickhandling/Receiving Passes: I find this stick very easy to stick handle with its very light and well balanced in order to give me some pretty dirty dangles if you know what I mean. For some reason though, I find it very hard to catch passes on this stick, this is the first time I've never been able to catch a pass with a stick so that's a big down factor of this stick. 6/10 Shooting: This is the best thing about the stick, all my shots are hard and acurate, and my slap shot is always a bomb and its on target. I love shooting with this stick its soooo easy to nip top shelf with this on goalies. Shooting with this stick is amazing. 10/10 Weight/Balance: This stick is super duper light, and its very well balanced, I love it. 10/10 Durablility: Well I'm one of those people that couldn't break a stick if they tried to, but I've had this since Christmas 2012 and its still fine, there's a few chips and scratches on it but it doesn't effect the performance of it at all. As I mentioned I play a high level of hockey so this stick has held up very well. 10/10 Intangibles: The non grip version is a huge plus, and I love the graphics of this stick black and yellow, nothing better than that. Plus I got it for like 140$ when it was 170$ everywhere else. 10/10 Conclusion: This is a great stick, probably one of the best I've ever used, and it shoots very well. While there is a downside to it, there is an even bigger upside to this stick. If I was you I would get this. Once the RSII goes on sale I'll probably get that as well. GET IT. OVERALL SCORE: 62/70 or 8.8/10 p.s. sorry if my math was off on the total I did it all in my head.
