Hey, im looking into an easton synergy SL i was wondering what there durability is like and if i should go with the modano/forsberg blade or iginla. Does the thickness of Iginla make it feel wierd. Finally is the stick worth the price if not give me suggestions ops or shafts thanks.

I am curently using an easton z-bubble grip and vap. xx

Thanks again in advance

well the durability isnt the greatest. i had one last for almost 2 months and the next last for almost 3 weeks. a kid on my team has now gone through 6 of them in less than 2 months. for the blade its all personal preferance. the inginla however is not any thicker than the other blades. i would suggest getting a vapor xxx if your going to spend the money and get a high end stick. mine has held up very nice since i got it. its only been a month but theres no signs of breakage.

I had 2 sl a couple months ago broke both in month--One on a one timer and the other on a slap shot. Fought with easton becase they said a one timer was misuse--No Lie! But on the team I play on alot of guys love the stick but they say they havent had one more than 6 months...if thats good? :o

on another note there are a few guys that use stealth and one of those guys is still using a 04 stealth---now I know thats good. :D

I don't think it is any thinner but maybe longer or shorter the forsberg curve is what I use it is a great curve for a D man Easy to keep my shots low.

i dont think sertain blades are any thicker or thinner than others. only shorter, longer, some are open and others are closed or in between the two.

What you are paying for with the XXX,Stealth is very light flex and feel. I have found for example the Stealth to be a very light great feel and a great flex point. the one I used I bought for 50 bucks of a guy it was a year old I had it for 3 months. So I would spend the extra 20 bucks and get a stealth or the XXX. The sl Did'nt (to Me) nothing like the stealth.

I now use the Z Bubble because of $$$ and I would use that shaft with aZ carbon Before the SL. JMO

maybe wait for the synergy II's

If you are going to use this stick for more than a month, don't get a Stealth. Amazing stick until the blade breaks off, which isn't long enough for it to be worth it.

Alright, I'll be the one to say it:

Search through the topics. Practically every stick under the sun has already been discussed at length here. Check out the stick reviews as some even have formal reviews posted.

If you want to go with a XXX try out this - blue stick - It's a Vapor XXX without the grpahics on it. For only $100, it's a good deal. If you want to go with a shaft, the Synthesis/Synergy II would be an excellent choice.
