Easton Stealth RS Stick

Recommended Posts

Nice pic!

As an aside, I wonder how Easton chose Cammalleri to be the 'first' pro to use the Stealth RS in-game? (I understand it was probably muled prior, but I mean first announced to be using it)

Doubtful, likelihood is this stick had been in the testing process painted as other sticks for a while now.

Really wish I could have one of these bad boys, they look gorgeous. Imagine if instead of the yellow, it was hunter green or Super Dark, or Super Light (no pun intended) Blue. Would be even meanier lookin.

The stick stands out even from the stands. Saw Elias using it for the past few games. Looks real good.

Wonder how much of that is you looking to see who is using the stick, versus actual stick design.

I think it's a beautiful stick, and perhaps it does stand out, but compared to some other designs out there, it seems very muted. That being said, you see that flash of yellow, and you pretty much know exactly what stick it is.

I'm not sure, I know when I first saw it I hadn't seen any good pictures yet. At the game it was more of an "Oooo, I want that" even though I don't even know what kind of tech the stick has, and the fact that I'm not a huge fan of any of the easton patterns lol.

The good thing about new sticks is there is usually a lot of pros trying it, and lots of pro return sticks end up for sale in decent patterns.

I saw this last night and thought "hmmmmmmmm, shaft + blade combo guy making the switch." Game, set and match for the Easton rep when he sniped in the shootout. Handzus has never shot a puck like that!

I wouldn't put too much stock in it just yet, Zus has been switching off all year between OPS S19's and U+CL's every 5-6 games all season he had the U+CL again just a couple games ago.

I wonder if it was the same thing for the One95 when it first came out, what with the color bar running along the...spine? of the stick

Similar idea. That little flash of colour will always catch your eye. Explains why we didn't see team colourway options early on. Probably will be the same with this.

I highly doubt that even half these guys are using the actual stick. Most likely just a graphic package.

Does anyone have any clues what kind of specs it will have?

Wouldnt be surprised it getzlafs was really an ST

If I recall correctly, he's been using repainted STs for a long time now.

I see more and more of this stick each day. Jiri Hudler was using it last night. But as you said. Are most guys really using this stick.

I think you guys are underestimating players' desire to try the latest and the greatest. A lot of them are just like us and are going to want to try this stick out. I'd be surprised if these were repaints.

I was thinking the same thing, because krejci has been using one and he's been a bauer guy for a while.
