they had them at my lhs since january ,the shaft seems a little thinner than a jr synergy,but not that much of a difference...its seem to be a good stick,i would probally buy that for your son rather than an sl,its a good stick and alot of younger kids around here like them.

I just weighed the two sticks, the Easton is 2 oz lighter. However, the Easton is 2 inches shorter, overall length. So the weight dif between the two is not that much.

Those who have bough the 5k have liked it a lot. The Eastons are a bit pricy, for just a bit more you could get RBKs for the price of 1. Just a thought.

How a stick performs for your son could be way different than what others say, there are too many variables. The only real way to find out is to find a RBK that matches the pattern, flex and lie of a stick your son shoots well with now. Odds are that the RBK will be similar.

As long as there is not a huge price differential, I would stay as close to as whatever your son has now.

I have heard that the Rbk sticks is for College hockey etc and not for NHL and SR players, They will use the Vector..

jimmy...what do you weight?? a sr or jr stick??and what the total Weight of them...??( not the difference between these 2!)

And why would rbk would be only used for college??

[jimmy 194]

I weighed the jr sticks because that's what he was asking about.

FYI, the 5k Sr weighs aaprox 18oz, the jr weighs approx 15 oz.

Does anybody know how much the RBK 5K INT shaft weighs? I hate it when they don't put the weight on the shafts...

you could just compare it to another shaft, thats what I do and i usually get a pretty good idea
