new stick help

[pmr149 0]

This is my first post so correct me if I do something wrong.

I have been using easton sticks since they came out with the synergy but I think it might be time to switch. I have been using Sl's but they break left and right. I am currently using my back up stick (ST) which is very durable and steardy but does not have the feel/pop I would like. I am looking for something durable with some feel to it, not necessarily extremely light. I hear the dolomite ops is good but please give me some suggestions

-thanks

I've had good luck with ccm ops. The seem to be durable, and the feels not to bad.

Blade and shaft combo perhaps? That way you just change the blade for more pop!

If you must go the OPS route, Warrior is a good company (formerly Innovative), and I have loved my Bauer Vapor VI.

the Synergy II is supposedly just like an SL, easton claims it to be SL technology in a 2 piece. but when you break the blade you buy another for $55 instead of $170 for a whole new stick. this only works, however, if you don't kill shafts.

I have a dolomite and it's fantabulous. so far it's a tank. the blade has been stepped on at least 3 times and it's still as stiff as it was the day I bought it. (not quite as pretty anymore though).

And I have to pop in and say that the added bonus of 2 pc systems is the ability to experiment with curves.

I've thought about going the 2 piece route again but I like the true one piece sticks more (bauer xxx, mac daddy, stealth, etc) then fused sticks. The kick they have is great. Although I've never actually tried a synergy II.

If you have a local lhs that will let you demo sticks, I think that would be your best option. If not, ask a teammate or friend if you could borrow a stick and experiment with a few sticks and then make a choice. Just about every stick has people that love it and hate it it's all pp.

Try the XXX, it will have a feel close to what you had in the SL.
