CCM Vector 10.0 Composite stick w/ ABS blade

Anybody ever used these? My all composite stick is cracking on the bottom of the blade after about 25 games. Found one of these for a good price and it seems like best of both worlds for inline hockey. I play on a concrete indoor rink. I know these have been out for a few years, but found some new ones still floating around.

Can't speak personally, but a guy on my team just picked one up and he is pretty happy with it. It is still a bit heavier than even your lower end composite sticks, but for the price, and the fact that it'll last you a while, it might be a good buy.

I recently started putting a small strip of Gorilla tape at the bottom of my blade, then doing a standard tape job over it. By the end of a game, the tape on the bottom of the blade is chewed up, but it never gets to the blade. It's a pretty inexpensive and efficient way to keep my expensive composite sticks going game after game... and I play on coated concrete.
