Mimizk 114 Report post Posted March 16, 2018 Easton was bought by Bauer. Soon after Bauer went bankrupt. There are few players in NHL who have still been using Easton stick. Has Easton been still providing their custom order sticks? I've ordered custom Easton sticks 3 times. All sticks were Elliptical Tapered stick. I really love them. If it's possible, I want to order my stick to Easton again. Has Easton completely gone? Or is there any shop or connection who can receive an order? If you know that, I really want to know.

Mimizk 114 Report post Posted March 16, 2018 So... few NHLers who have been still using Easton sticks for example Phil Kessel, their sticks are just their own stock which ordered before Easton gone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CigarScott 132 Report post Posted March 16, 2018 Bauer still may make them for the pros. You can find some on here for sale: https://www.prostockhockey.com/player-sticks/?&search_query=player-sticks&filter=Brand_fq:"Easton"&rows=20&start=0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimizk 114 Report post Posted March 16, 2018 Yes, I thought the same thing for this topic. I think Bauer still making Easton stick at least for pro. But I don't have any connection who can receive my order. All my 3 times orderi was through my local shop. But after Easton was bought by Bauer, Easton's distributor also changed to the same distributor as Bauer's. Easton's distributor lost their right to sell Easton's products. Bauer's distributor of my area don't receive custom order from no-pro. So the local shop have not been able to receive custom stick order of Easton. If my thought: Bauer still making Easton stick for limited person is correct, I've been finding some shops or personal connection who can receive an order of Easton custom stick...

JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted March 16, 2018 Highly doubtful you'll be able to get it done. As stated, they're still making sticks for NHL players. But, you're not a NHL player, so that option is not available for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adam14 182 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 that's a statement I wouldn't question. it's not uncommon for brands to have pro only options, just like why it's next to impossible to get custom Bauers unless you're pro. JR knows what he's talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 Easton’s tooling was moved to Asia after Bauer acquired them. Compression molding, mandrels, all that - but it’s available at pro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
