Sticks

[purepowerfit 0]

Ive read a bunch of reviews on different sticks and im planning on tossing $100 at a new stick. Does anyone have a recomendation for what I should stay away from? Currenty looking at the easton synergy cs6, or something made by bauer. ( one 70 or XXX light) I havent been that impressed with bauer sticks in the past, but I still hear they are one of the best. Any help? Thanks

last year's top of the line stick will always be better than this year's second tier stick. I'd recommend the XXX-lite over those two because it is simply a better stick and good deals can be found.

Thanks for the feedback, ive researched tons of sticks in the last week, Its hard to find the xxx lite with the curve and flex I need, kinda sucks, that being said the one 70 seems like a solid stick, not that heavy and the vapor XVI seems solid as well. Any difference between the two? Also is the synergy SC6 a cheap version of the elite?

Yeah there are differences between them. The difference is mostly in the taper. The supreme oneXX sticks have a shorter taper and therefore a higher kickpoint, while the vapors have a long and narrower taper for a lower kickpoint.

I really don't know about the sc6, but you're probably right, it's just lower in the synergy line

btw, where have you looked for the XXX-lites, and what are you looking for? they are definitely stil around.

xxxlite shaft with a blade isnt a bad choice and decently cheap if you like wooden blades

well i guess its the xxxx shaft these days

I have been looking for a 87 flex xxxlite with the closest thing I can find to the lindros curve, it seems to be hard to find both of those. Eastwesthockey didnt have that setup, what other sites should I be on?

I emailed them for stock and price but no reply. I then called today but when I got through they were sold out. Thanks for the help. What is the major difference with kick points? I see that some have a high kickpont and some have a low kick point, what should I look for?

depends what you want in your shot. lower kickpoints are better for quick snapshots, and getting your shots higher. higher kickpoint is better for slappers, and lower, harder shots.
