Anything that has material removed to decrease weight is going to be more fragile. YMMV. It could last days or could last months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a subjective opinion. Some might like it more than the current generation sticks, some might like it less. For example, look at how many NHL players are using stick builds that are 4+ years old and they seem to be doing just fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't care which one, my shot has significant more pop (confirmed by radar gun) using these compared to any other stick I have used / tested / still own (and that's all of the top of the line sticks from CCM / Warrior / Bauer/ True / Sherwood / STX over the last 4 years).

It could last days or could last months. As of now Id saw the adv and 1nxl and 2nproxl are the most popular stick builds for the guys using bauer over the last 5 years or so. Also has more to do with the carbon they are using and not removing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My last stick that I loved was the FT3 before trying different brands. I guess I should have stuck with CCM. I might try the newest Trigger though, I didn't quite like the first one so I went JetSpeed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
