Best "Bang for Your Buck" OPS?

[lancerplayer 0]

What is the best "bang for your buck" OPS? I'm looking for something under $100 that will give me a good feel for the puck while still having some durability. Obviously I'm talking about last year and before model sticks. Brand is not important to me just as long as they offer a Forsberg clone pattern.

How bout one piece OPS for us 30 yr olds that are partial to the Coffey/Bourque/Messier type patterns?

Bauer Endure can be had for well under $100 most places.

Sick-kick is well over $100

As many will testify, your best bet would be to buy last year or the year before's high end models, rather than this year's middle or low-end models.

In addition to Michael9's list, check out TPS Adrenalines, NBH Endure (not Endure 2), and CCM V130's - most of these can be generally found at discount prices.

I snapped my OPS over the summer and didn't have enough to replace it so I picked up an Apollo from hockey giant for $40 its nice I would recomend it to anyone looking for a cheep OPS. Also the "supreme one 40" is just a one 40 and its a woodie unless they changed that from the summer. The One 50 is a OPS stick though from NBH.

My best bang is any top of the line on EBAY, I've bought Sickicks, One90, Stealths, V.10 $90-120,.

I quess though best bang for the puck is performance and durability, so I say One90 or ST.

synergy 300. it's got a softer blade face and nice flex.

sher-wood rm7 is nice in the coffey pattern.

almost bought one of those, $75 at my lhs

Pro stock anything > broom stick > synergy 300

[Jarick 5]

Only sub-$100 I would pick up would be the Endure (original) and maybe the RM9.

I actually picked up a woodie as I keep breaking blade/shaft combos and nothing interests me under $100.

Shoguns are nice, and in the realm of $100

they may not be around 100 but the synergy ST will give you the best bang for your buck.

are you serious I just went to national yesterday and saw the shogun for 170$!! I was about to get that but ended up witht he rbk 7k sick kick because it was on sale for only 140$!

[Buzz_LightBeer 974]

Backed. I have 2 Endure shafts and I like, eventhough my UltraLite is my gamer.

one70 is one of the best sticks for its price

Same. I've seen it for $125 here.

It's meant to be a price point stick. If someone is charging $170 they're just gouging unsuspecting fools on the Warrior name.
