lesterhenson 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 Is this due to a bunch of sticks from a bad batch or is this something that should really be considered when buying one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy_Wolf 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 I have had 3 XX's before, all lasted me over a month to 2 months each. But they did all break in the lower shaft. Feeling of the stick was great though. I'm 6'2", 215 lbs, and I now play with the Endure since late spring. It's probable the most durable stick I ever had. A bit heavier, but I find it gives me more balance/power when I shoot the puck.I think my XX broke mainly because of the numerous slashes I get. The Endure has this aluminium-like mesh on the part where I get slashed. So far it seems like it's been working good enough.Anyone tried it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lesterhenson 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 Hmm... Well I'm in a situation where I have to buy two sticks in november and will not have a chance to buy any more until June. Do you guys think it would be a good idea to get two xx's or to get something else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BNH wouldn't let him have another stick, even though the 2nd stick was broken within it's warantee, and even the 1st warantee. He's not the kind of guy who would never buuy from BNH again thoughbtw, is it NBH now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lesterhenson 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2005 Compared to a 100 flex SL grip, how would you guys consider the xx's durablitlty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miike 1 Report post Posted October 21, 2005 My 100 flex SL's non grip, the durability is awful. Broke both of them in the SAME place. Defiantly not my next choice of sticks. I was thinking maybe an ST or XX, but after reading this thread im not to sure. I really like the sounds of the Endure aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
