Product: Easton Synergy Si-core grip Right Handed Iginla 100 flex. Background: 5'11 155 pounds. Blade- the blade ont he si core was stiff as hell.. i read a loto f posts when the si core came out that it had issues with durability but the one i had was a beast! after 3 months of hockey the blade was just as stiff as it was new and no cracks or fractures! Flex- i wanted a 85 flex but settled with a 100 cuz it was on sale for only 200 cdn at my LHS and i couldnt wait for a 85 to come in as the sale was going to end. Stickhandling/feel- the si core blade was totally diff than the reg synergies.. not only was te stick a tad heavier overall(whcih i liked for stickhandlgin0 but receiving passes was great! (10/10) Weight and Balance- the balance and weight was a little heavy compared to the yellow grip i used before but after using the si core i liked it being a bit heavier.. i noticed when i tried to use my yellow grip i tended to overstickhandle as the yellow was "too light" (9/10) Durabillity- like i said alot of ppl i know had problems with the si core but the one i had at least was a beast and i give it 10/10 for durability (for the one i got lol) shooting/performance- definitely noticed some lack of bounce off the blade when shooting.. kinda felt like a 2 peice in a way... when i shot with my yellow grip i noticed the puck def jumped off the blade more (8/10) Conclusion- for a synergy , i was very pleased. blade lasted the longest of all the synergies ive owned.. the sticks perf did not decrease at all since day one! i think i was lucky and got a good batch! overall 8.5/10 (does not reflect average pts out of 10, this is just my overall opinion)
