Louisville TPS Response XN10/right handed nash curve/ regular flex About the user: 5'7 155 lbs skates everyday, high school hockey, center previous sticks: Easton synergy, Easton Si-core(2), easton synthesis. Blade- i found the blade to be the stiffest ive ever used, especially coming from a sicore, which i thought was the sofest blade ever...Everyone on the site is right when the say the shots rip off the blade. i was amazed after i took my first couple of slapshots. the blade i also found to be long lasting, because my shaft broke after about 2 months. Flex: Being that this is my first stick from TPS after using easton since 1st year peewee, i figured flex's would be equal with eastons 85,100, and 110. I think TPS's flexs are off, the whip is like an intermediate, and the regular is like a 110. theres no "100" flex like easton. this is the only thing i have wrong with the stick. Stickhandling: i thought the stick handled really well for such a stiff blade. my personal preference must be stiffer blades, because i liked the feel alot. weight and balance: unbelievable...the balance is perfect, along with the weight of the stick is equal with the stealth, and RBK 7k sharing the title as the lightest stick on the market. durability: A normal stick that has finally outlasted its warrantee. after using pro stock sicores, which lasted me about 2-3 months each. my synergies would break with 1 month, and the xn10 lasted over 2 months. it broke right around where the shaft starts to taper in. which is unusual for me because i usually break where the blade meets the shaft. Pros- weight and balance is amazing the stiffness of the blade durability Cons- while there is nothing really wrong with the stick, theres just a few things tps could do, like a better range of flexs, and maybe a form of grip, because the xn10 can get slippery when wet.
