Jason Harris 31 Report post Posted July 7, 2005 What's "affordable" then? I'd bet most hockey players would say that $200+ USD for a stick that will barely last a month isn't "affordable". Kosy,I understand what you're saying. I was just trying to make a point that the manufacturers themselves would like the prices to be lower -- while maintaining durability.

Megamandan 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 Once again, the shaft has to BREAK. You cannot have an unbreakable stick then go into the boards stick-first and have the stick survive. Not only that but why have an unbreakable stick? Company's would take a huge downfall. They'd patent it, sell it and then everyone would have an "unbreakable" stick and no one would need to buy more sticks. I'm not saying companies make sticks to break on purpose (even though it may seem that way) I'm just saying it'd be a really stupid idea to put yourself out of the business.

Kosy,I understand what you're saying. I was just trying to make a point that the manufacturers themselves would like the prices to be lower -- while maintaining durability. I'd just be curious to know how much they'd cost to manufacture, let alone retail for. Then again, its all a moot point, because like everyone has mentioned, its much better that they break.

It's a nice, dark understated colour that isn't too distracting unlike the colour of the Easton Octane which is loud, garrish and distracting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
