I'm a low kick fan and right now my go to stick is the Trigger 4 but I recently purchased a retail FT2 on sideline swap to just play around with it and compare. I liked what I felt from it. CCM did a good job on the hybrid kick point as I feel the stick performed pretty well in all categories. The quick release wasn't as good as the Trigger but it was definitely manageable. Heavy wrist shots and slap shots come off really nice. Light weight, great blade feel, good balance, I was impressed and are keeping it as a backup twig.
