Old Synergy for an SL or ST?

chadd, since we are talking about durability i have a question for you as a retailer. this last season my brother broke a vector 110, tps xn-10, tps rubber response, two stealths, and one regular synergy. he got warranty replacements on all of them and all of them except one of the replacement stealths broke with in 3 games. all of the replacements broke about 12 inches up from the blade. its not his shooting or anything because when they originally broke it was not there. does something sound wrong here?

Breaking 12 sticks in one season is excessive breakage, unless you're playing at a pro level or 80 games and 80+ practices.

The fact the replacements all broke in the same place regardless of brand, is a prime indicator that it is your brother.

do you think a change in lie could help?

Is the tape wear uneven?

i dont know, i'll ask him, his ultra lites with vector blades hold up ok, p.s. he played midget aaa then high school this year, so it ended up being pretty close to 50 games, 60+ practices

Yea, its definetely a hot stick. I couldnt care less about if the paint comes off or not. I don't know how Chadd has seen that many break, all the ones i've seen around here are tankshows.

Anyone playing at a decent level around here has gone through Stealths, SLs and XXX very rapidly. I have yet to see one last more than 30 days.

I play anywhere from 7-9 times a week and I play AAA hockey, it's not like I am in bush league.

Evidently you got all the great ones and I got all the bad ones in my area.

I'm late on this but...

I'm not just making this up you know, everything about this stick has been great to me and I just want to help justify a solid answer to the question at hand.
