Be aware that if they ship UPS or Fedex ground you'll likely be hit with a hefty brokerage fee on top of any duty or taxes. With Fedex they often don't charge that on delivery, but send you a bill a few weeks later. If you can get them to ship USPS then you'll only be hit with any duty or taxes and maybe a small handling fee (in the $5-$8 range instead of the hefty $40+ brokerage fees UPS and Fedex charge). Apparently the express options of UPS and Fedex already include brokerage fees, but I still tend to avoid those options as I've never received a package from UPS or Fedex from out of the country that I didn't end up being charged unreasonable (in my opinion) brokerage fees for.

i hear that, I suppose you don't get to overtake the federal mail delivery system by doing things for free... the bastards.

now to wrest my girlfriends Credit Card from her white-knuckled grip...

I finally decided to pick up a couple of the letang pro stocks so I'll report back with length and stuff asap.

you can actually use the curve

[mik3 1]

I've been experimenting lately, it looked different enough for me to go after. Though if I actually enjoy it I'm going to have to just keep hunting down his sticks.

[K9 Unit 1]

awesome, i would actually use letangs curve before i use any heel curves haha, lemme know how you shoot with it :)

[NorrisContender 4]

My 90 flex Daley pro return showed up today.

The curve is not as open as it looks on HM.com. The blade is also pretty short.

The stick is LONG. About 61" from butt to heel. About 67" from butt to floor when the stick is flush against a wall. I need to cut about 4" off it. So much for 90 flex.

No Parabolic Taper, as expected. No grip, as expected.

Secondary graphics are green. Coincidently so is my beer league team.

Anyone know what the code under Daley's name might stand for:

CS

Norris - Definitely be interested to hear what you think of the stick when you get it on the ice.

Was it listed as grip? It's interesting, with these Mission Titaniums, I was told that there was variation in the same batch. Even though HM would have 'x' number of each players sticks, the players sticks could actually vary 'x' number of times within what they have. (if that makes any sense).

As for the length, the only time I ran into a jam was with a Gilbert TI model. It was ridiculously long, and when I cut it down, it felt like a piece of re-bar.

I've had really good luck with all the Titaniums I've ordered. I'm putting through another order at some point over the weekend.

To the poster above mentioning the Letang - PLEASE, let me know how that thing plays!! LOL! I also want to see pics of that curve!!

No, it was not listed grip on HM.com.

I planned on having to cut it some, but 4" scares me. Usually if I get an 85 it's not stiff enough when cut to my length. If I get a 100 it's too stiff at my length. I have a 90 flex PS Dolo HD that's just right. I was hoping this one would be the same. We'll see...

Letangs came in today. Retail length, about a 5.5-6 lie, I'd say it's closer to a 95 flex than the 85 it's listed at. Curve isn't as freaky in person as in pictures. Bottom half of the stick is yellow and black instead of more gray.

[K9 Unit 1]

titanium's are stiffer than rated for future references :)

[mik3 1]

I don't know, my 85 retail ones feel somewhat true, at least the same stiffness as my 85 flex mac daddys. This feels a little more stiff.

[K9 Unit 1]

i dunno about macdaddy's but aren't dolo's stiffer than rated too? maybe the macdaddy is too

my 75 titanium is definitely not 75 lol, prolly closer to 85

They soften up pretty quick though.

Mik - I want to see pics of that Letang curve when you get a chance - it looks nutty!!

As for the accent colors at the bottom of the sticks, they'll typically reflect which team the player is on.

I picked up a few more this past weekend.

Upon further review of the pictures, ok it is pretty crazy. Nameplate says

Letang 58

Thanks for posting pics Mik - that thing looks CRAZY!!!! You are a better man than I! :D

I want to hear some reviews after you get it on the ice.

[kovey10 0]

Let us know how shooting/passing and stickhandling go with that bad boy.

I just broke one of these the other night and was wondering what kind of replacement I would receive from Bauer since it is still under warranty?

Anyone else have any input on the subject? Found a couple 100 flexes marked WAY down.

[Scotty 8]

Holy cow, straightest blade I've ever seen. Let us know how it works out.

I think the stiffness is accurate. I had a couple 100 flexes and they played true to flex. Good stick, it just has a soft blade.

Thanks. Out of curiosity, did you cut them down at all and what impact did that have?
