Easton Stealth RS Stick

[ibeck 38]

Yes, mid or low kickpoint stick?

[goaliemanshark 6]

To be honest I've wondered that myself. Does the stealth series have a higher kickpoint or does the synergy (eq)? Because Easton literature says they are both low kickpoints.

[Scotty 8]

They are indeed both low kickpoints. Last year, the S19s was a bit higher due to the elliptical hosel running up higher.

[Krev 86]

I was basically going to say what Scotty said. The S17 was low kickpoint. The S19 was a little bit higher, more of a mid-low kickpoint. I've been under the impression that the RS will be somewhat inbetween the S17 and S19. But to sum it up, the S17, S19, and RS are low kickpoint sticks.

I was under the impression that the additional kevlar layers of the S19 was what shifted that kickpoint up a bit; IIRC it was Tyson at IW that presented that.

The ST is technically a low-kick stick too, according to Easton

what he said. The s17 didn't feel that low to me.

Original Stealth and CNT were definitely low.

used mine last night. i dont know why i even try the stealths anymore. they are too light and the taper twists on me. gave it to my buddy, hopefully he will like it.

twists? I thought they corrected this? Im lookiing forward to this stick but i shoot hard and I hate when i feel like the blade gives

[Krev 86]

My guess is too light a flex.

[adam14 182]

Did any of you move up from what you normally use as a flex rating? Beyond tempted to buy one of these.

just how i felt it. it was a 100 flex. some people im sure will love it but i dont. ill stick to the se 16's

[bubaloo 6]

100 flex I will be buying too. what curve were you using?

Sakic. i pass really heavy and i could feel the twisting/blade giving.

dang what I would use. may try a shorter blade and see.

I don't know if I would change your whole set up because one guy said he didn't like the stick. I have a pro stock true RS and I haven't experienced that. The blade is very thin on my stick too.

Just something to consider.

That's odd, because I had to really lay into shots to get much flex out of the one I used.

[Jordan 13]

My son got one last night..he liked it FWIW.

It is easily the lightest stick that I have ever held.

this whole topic is for the RS, i was just posting my opinion for people who read through this. some people actually do think a 200+ dollar stick will make them better, im saying it made my passes worse. just something for people to think about. but the graphics on the stick are awesome. im going to try and find a repainted se16.

I know man. I totally understand. My post wasn't a bash or anything. I was just stating that I haven't noticed that problem. I basically just meant to say one opinion shouldn't make you completely overlook a stick.

yah good point. I like to really lean into shots and take snaps and one timers. I was excited when i read the blade stayed closed as I notice some sticks I use definetly open up when I shoot. I was hoping this was one of the features.

I will reserve judgement on saturday. I preordered from my local hockey shop and I pick up and go straight to the rink for 2 straight games. I should have a good review by then

[AIREAYE 248]

The blade staying closed is not a 'feature' per say. It has more to do with the quality of the blade/hosel (carbon) and its construction. I believe composition of the internal foams also play a part

it could of been the one i had...out of the thousands they produce. but good luck to you, and if it doesnt work out, im certain someone will take it off your hands.

The elliptical taper is supposed to prevent torquing of the blade

The S7 has the elliptical 'feature', as does the S5 and it's not like those guys have the best blades either
