Custom Branches Wood

Custom Vic Wood

Easton Ultralite with Branches blades

Louisville XN10

CCM U+ CL. My current crop of pro returns, the flex and curve is perfect after I add an inch or so to get them to the perfect length.

Shafts(in no order):

1. R2XN10 - Amazing pop on that stick

2. Tapered one95 - great pop on those

3. Dolomite polarfibre - durable, great feel in the hands and decent performance...very consistent

4. Redlite CS2 with kevlar - beautiful stick that was durable as hell while maintaining light weight and decent performance. Sadly the only one on this list I don't still have.

5. Mission Flyweight - I've had several but only one I really liked, it feels great in the hands and shoots well

OPS(in no order):

1. One95 - great pop and puck feel

2. Dolomite - durable and decent performance and soo consistent

3. Synergy Elite - SL and SE were amazing sticks, soo much better than the Eastons of the next generations

4. CNT Stealth - This stick just shoots really well

5. TPS R8lite - Great stick, very light and shot well.

Honorable mention to the Miken Gary let me try out(think it was the ZL1), that stick kicked like a mule. Also honorable metion to the Warrior Dolomite Double-D, great stick at a great pricepoint.

I recently picked up an Easton "Stealth" Mako II that I pretty much picked up for the pattern but based on early impressions, it may be the Easton I've been waiting several years for.

what is interesting is that for the most part, peoples top 5 sticks do not seem to contain the newest latest models from the stick manufacturers. Maybe older models are better than todays sticks?

In my case, my top five are based when I was playing back in the day (25 years ago). I still haven't figured out how to flex the modern stick to my advantage. I am digging my Warrior Evo shaft, but somehow I still can't make it pop. My slap shot these days is embarassing...

"All Time" lists seldom include recent names/items/what-have-you.

[All Flash 49]

In no particular order.........

Easton Stealth CNT

Bauer Vapor XXX Lite

TPS R8 Lite

Easton S19/RS2 (pretty much the same stick to me but I guess the same can be said about the CNT and the SE16 )

Easton Synergy SE16

Honorable mention to the APX and the Widow

[EBondo 232]

That thing was a beast. Was the only standard shaft I ever REALLY liked. The AK-27 was nice, but didn't compare to the TFG. And the ONE90 blade was the perfect compliment to it. The balance was incredible.

Some that, some superstition, but mostly it's weight and I preferred shafts. I'm a grown man so I've never become fully engorged when companies come out with a stick that's lighter by some infinitesimal amount.

3: Sherwood 7000 wooooood

A stick has to promise and deliver an additional 25mph to my slap shot in order for me to get a stiffy over a new stick.

[aviery 11]

1. Bauer Vapor APX 2
2. Bauer Vapor APX LE
3. Bauer Vapor XX
4. Easton Synergy Grip - Yellow
5. Easton Synergy Si-Core

I think it still has a pro return wood blade. It would probably explode on the first shot.

Nostalgia goggles.

or whatever stick you played the highest level hockey or had the most goals with. old sticks aren't just for shooting pucks, they'll also remind you of times when you were younger, better looking and weighed 10lb less.
