I bought a Hespeler Patriot shaft off of EBay, it was a 1 piece that was used in a thrashers game and broken...

Anyway, I put a Synthesis Hybrid blade in the tapered side and use it as my main stick, actually, over my CCM V80 OPS ( I know, not much to out do, still...) -- it's a bit flexy, the flex isn't labeled, but it's pretty light and has a concave in that I like the feel of.

I had a pro return Patriot in 260 Flex Drury Clone and it broke the 2nd time I used it. This was the first and only time I ever broke a OPS in Half. I still have the top half of it, and I took a pic to show you how weird the break was. This one was also one of the worst feeling sticks I've ever used and I remember the barcode sticker on the inside said INNO 1100. I dont know if the retail was different or I just got a bad stick. Luckily I only paid $50 for it Brand New.

my friend was stuck using one for about a season, he hated it, no puck feel, and shooting was all over the place. He only uses it for road hockey now..

I had one when they first came out and I loved it. Great puck feel, soft composite blade but it only came in the Weight (fugly) and Guerin (yp). I used mine for a few months before I gave it to a buddy who used it for another year or more.
