Lower end stick for cheap

[flyers10 57]

I am looking to pickup a lower end OPS for fairly cheap....$45 or less. I saw a Bauer XII for $45, and they have a ONE55 for $60. I was leaning to the XII since it is the curve(Malkin) and lie(5) I want plus it is a 77 flex and I was thinking of going down from an 85 to see if it helps my wristers. Any recommendations/suggesstions?

I have an XII and its been a very good stick. Obviously not as good as the high end sticks, but its $40. Its been very durable. I would recommend it if you dont want to spend a lot of money. Also, its Flyers colors ;)

Do you know what curve or flex you like? For $45 you can buy a pretty nice wood stick. It'll feel alot more balanced and will have higher performance than a cheap composite in the same price point.

The Malkin curve and I was looking at the one cheap composite since it was a 77 flex. I wanted to compare that to my 85 flex.
