Product: Easton Synergy SL / Forsberg (P4) / 85 Flex (Senior) / Left-Handed Background: 5"8, Been playing hockey for 13 years, play 6x a week. played/playing at HS and AAA level Other Products Used: 5 other SL's, Easton Z-bubble with Montreal blade, 85 flex fors. Stealth, 85 flex fors. ST Blade - Very nice touch when I first bought the stick, but after some use Ive had problems with the inside CNT material chipping out of the bottom of the blade. 9/10 Flex -Good flex, Can really feel the quick snap when shooting. Over time it becomes somewhat dampening and looses some flex, but this lightly affects overall performace. 9/10 Stickhandling/receiving passes -Again, very nice touch, with saucer passes becoming easier, and a nice feel with the puck. Loses some consistancy with time, but is only noticable on touch passes. 8/10 Shooting - The SL thrives on this aspect to me. Consistancy is key and thats why I keep coming back to this stick. Very nice, quick, snaps, and great touch 10/10 Weight and balance - Extremely light and is very much like the Stealth. I love the overall balance of this stick 10/10 Durability - This is the category that the SL severely lacks in. Ive gone through 6 SL's and the longest lasting just under 2 months. 4 out of 6 of the SL's break right where the blade curves to meet the shaft. 5/10 Conclusion - The SL is one of the finest one-peice sticks that I have used so far and is extremely consistent. Durability is an issue but I cant stay away from this stick. 9/10 Overall Grade - 9/10
