Stealth S11 Stick/S15 Shaft

[kovalchuk71 212]

Trying to decide between the S15 shaft with an S15 blade or the S11. What would be the better option? I would assume the s15 shaft/blade combo correct?

It depends on which feels better in your hands and works better for you. Some folks love the S15 (Z Bubble) and some folks hate it.

I've used an s11 a few times...shoots well and has decent feel for a price point stick. Didn't use it long enough to comment on durability. Never used the s15 shaft so I can't comment on that, though the s15 is not tapered so you'll have a slightly different feel when you shoot.

I started using the S15 shaft about 2 months ago. I first tried it with the S15 blade and absolutely hated it, it felt very very very weird. Switched to a standard one95 blade in it and have loved it since.

though it flares out (bubbles) to accept standard blades, the S15/Z-bubble is more similar to a tapered shaft.

I know what the z-bubble is, I was just wondering how the s15 compares to it.

I thought they were the same thing? Unless you meant S11...

[kovalchuk71 212]

They are, but the shaft shape is different.

Personally, I would definitely consider the S15 shaft superior to the S11. The S15 with a blade is going to be more expensive though.

The s11 is not a very good stick if you ask me, really really really Hated it. Is that enough reallys?

I can comment on the durability of the S11. It has held up really well for me, has done around 15-20 games and maybe 4 practices and is still spot on, maybe a bit softer than it was initially. I also take a lot of slapshots, and am 6'4 and 200+ pounds. Having said that though, I'm not really a stick breaker as some people are so it could vary from person to person and stick to stick, but I've been surprised at how well it's holding up.

I rip really hard on my s11 4 nights a week, and ive been using it since october/november i guess, and i still love it. Durability is great imo.

S11 should be more durable since it is a price point stick, whereas the S15/ Z Bubble is a top of the line shaft for better performance but may sacrifice some durability
