Durability of composites.

[Blueandgold26 1]

In the outdoor game tomorrow do you think the composites will become more brittle due to the low temperatures?

Also i have a dolomite (with the green graphics) and it has great feel, will the feel ever weaken?

Doesn't pretty much everything (wood included) become more brittle in the cold?

Once your blade starts to lose stiffness it will.

i have used 3 warrior dolomites and all of them tend to juss die, in about less then a month nd a couple of weeks. Hard to explain but like the shot losses its hardness. There is no more "pop" off the blade on your shot...its like playing with a wet noodle. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have had that happen to all the stealth CNTs ive had which is too bad cuz i really liked them. The dolomite i used i didnt like so i sold it before before it lost its pop but is there any sticks that dont lose their pop so quickly because it kinda sucks ahaving a $200+ stick that isnt that great.

TPS makes excellent sticks for durability. It literally takes a couple thousand shots just to break them in. Look at the R6 and R2, they're both tanks.

surprising about the CNT i had mine for over a year and it still had its pop, but then it broke on a 1 timer lol...Most durable stick i still think is those Tour Bemmers, now those are tanks

Everything gets brittle at a certain point.. only thing is that your body will get brittle before that graphite carbon will.

Wood will break down if water get in and freezes.

been using RLxn10 for well over an year and its still maintaining its original pop

gonna really cry when i break it cuz they've been discontinued

i really love it

I was wondering the same thing. If the extreme would be a factor on the sticks? Now the only questions is injuries from the weather.

I've played many, many times with composites outdoors and there's never been a noticeable difference in durability for me. Hands may get more sensitive to any vibration but that's not the stick's doing at all.

I saw one stick break right in half today on a shot, and I think it actually went further than the puck :D
