TPS Response Plus/ Flex:regular/ Pattern: Nash Background: 225 lbs, 6'3, Left Wing. Blade: So far this blades' durablity has been the same as my xn10's. No chips, No marks, and no dings or fractures. 10/10 Flex: I was at first a bit hesitant about buying a regular flex, because of my size and how i wasnt really used to using a flexier stick than 100 or 110 flex in Easton's scale, but i loved it when i took my first shot. It seemed as if when i wound up for a slapper and shot the puck, the shaft just seemed to load the puck. great flex for shooting IMO. 10/10 Shooting: This stick was by far the greatest stick shot-wise, that i've EVER used. When i first decided to purchase it i wasnt too sure about how my shot would be, due to the fact that my shot totally sucked with my xn10. But when i first stepped onto the ice and took a slapshot, it just seemed as the puck had been shot out off the blade. i had great accuracy, and great snapshots/wristhots also.GREAT for shooting. 10/10 Stickhandling: This stick provides the best feel for a composite that i have ever used. The blade gives off a very ''controlable'' feel, much more than a si core or even a wood in that matter. Was able to toe drag and stick handle very smoothly and easily. 10/10 Durability: so far no cracks or marks on the shaft or blade. 10/10 Conclusion: This is by far the best stick I own or use at the time, i have pretty much every OPS on the market and would totally say that this is a great buy. At first i was afraid of dissapointment due to my bad experiences with my response rubber, response, and my xn10. Great improvement on the TPS response for this season. Overall, i love this stick and iam hoping to buy another in the future. MY SCORE: 10/10
