History of the Easton Synergy

Super interesting interview with one of the creators.  This guys channel is pretty awesome too. He does quick and to the point reviews of old shafts and sticks. From what I can tell he's a former pro and he has seemingly an encyclopedic knowledge and a HUGE collection.

Good listen. Interesting Holmes takes credit for creating the Sakic pattern. Sakic says he made it.

I noticed that too.  Maybe Sakic just made some general suggestions and Holmes used those to actually shape the blade?  Kinda like how Jordan might've had general concepts or requests for his shoes but Tinker Hatfield was the actual designer?

If I remember it, Holmes says it was his custom pattern with Sher-Wood; Sakic says his was a weekend where they flew the big name players in and had them make their own patterns for fun, and he made that one.

I could see Sakic thinking he made something they used, when in reality it came from somewhere else. Holmes would have that insider angle but looking at the legal situation surrounding his transition over to Warrior, it might be worth seasoning his statements with an appropriate amount of skepticism.
