Should I use a new stick more...?

[hapamatt122 0]

This may be sort of a stupid question.. I'm one of those people that has a few sticks in rotation that I usually use, adn I just got a brand new Vapor XXX on sale at hockeygiant.. and it just occured to me that I should use this more than my other sticks because if its going to break, it should break while still on warranty? after the warranty period, I can set it back into rotation with my other sticks (I usually choose the one that feels lucky at the time)..

Thats the only sensible thing to do right?

What you suggests makes sense, but don't be a putz and purposely break it on day 29 of the warranty.

[hapamatt122 0]

well of course.. I hope it doesn't break at all, I've never actually broken a stick during its warranty period.

If you feel its goin to break, just break it !!!

Which is part of the reason as to why sticks cost as much as they do.

I mentioned IF I mean if you see cracks on the shaft are you just gonna say its just cosmetic stuff?

i've had cracks on my R2 shaft as early as the 10th day since i've used it. 14months later its still intact.

At that point you contact the company and explain your situation. They will tell you what to do if it's "broken" in thier eyes. If not deal with it, there is no reason to intentionally break any stick.

How freaking lazy are you? He said Hockey giant and Vapor XXX, it doesn't tkae a rocket surgeon to figure it out.

Think about it this way - how often do you play?

It's hard to justify buying an OPS if you skate once a week...that's four sessions...

[hapamatt122 0]

yeah.. good point all.. anyways, I used it tonight, fantastic stick, warranty or not, this ones a keeper! got it for $109 over the weekend, looks like they're still on sale.. they must be trying to clear them out or something.

JR I play 3 times a week, justified or not, I like this stick and I'm glad I bought it.

Im pretty sure sale items do not come with a warranty. Someone correct me if im wrong.

I'm sure all sticks have a manufacturer warranty. Some hockey sites state that clearance items are final sale only, however the vapor xxx is not clearance on HG, it's a weekly special. Still waiting for mine to come in on May 1st :-\
