Hey i think we've all wondered about this one.

Sherwood 5030...it costs like 30+ bucks to make a composite stick.

My R+ was well worth the 85.00 I payed for it on ebay....I love it and would get another in a heart beat (just dont want to spend 149.99) ;)

Where?

In the end, no OPS is worth the price. Out of all of the ones listed I leaned towards the XN10. You can pick them up on sale for quite cheap, and they are a great stick.

The M-1 is a good deal at it's current price. Good puck feel and durability from my past experiences.

I voted other but really wanted to vote NONE of the Above...

There isn't a stick on that list worth its retail price.

There are several reasons why they cost that much such as:

1. Gotta cover the warranty replacements for the poor durability of the products as a whole. (In effect, you pay for several sticks at that price, but only get one or two.)

2. People are willing to pay it.

The profit margins on each one of those things has got to be tremendous.

I think the point was worth the regular retail price. If not it should have been. Best value is the Powertek true OPS for around $150 at 385g (60"). I can't wait to try one for durability and feel.

At 1800faceoff.com you can buy one and get the second for $50. My vote has to go to the Response Plus - It's a beauty!!! :D

I voted for the Vector 110.

It's an incredible stick with great durability.

Hate to get off topic, but are those 300 flex T1's an intermediate stick, or are they a senior stick just in a whippy flex?

great performing AND a second blade

Most of the sticks in the survey are not worth it, but I do have to say (based on customer breakage reports) that the V110 is probably the most durable, therefore the best value. A light stick that lasts 31 days is not a value. It may be better performance, but certainly not a value.

I sell a no-name stick, called PARCROW. The company is owned by a long time (40 years) fella inthe hockey stick industry, George Crow. He has worked for CCM, Sherwood, Northland, and many other stick companies over the years. Hardly a no-name, he was instrumental in the orig design of the TUUK holder and ICM. He's not a no-name in hockey, but his sticks are not well known. I have to say they are the most durable OPS stick I have ever seen. The blade is solid core carbon, no foam fillers. These things just do not break (unless caught in zamboni door). I sell them for $85. Super value.

He also make just blades. I have never had one returned. I sell them for $35. Customers love them. You have to remember, stick companies generally do not want to make a durable stick because they will not sell many (e.g, aluminum shafts)

It's not a high performance stick, hence the durability. High weight and low tech materials shouldn't cost that much. Great website on the other stick too.

Is there a website to see this Parcrow product? What about the one you mentioned Chadd...Powertex I believe?

I did a google search on parcrow and found a couple of links.

Here is the other.

I don't think Parcrow has a website. I buy them from their local warehouse. Unfortunately, I think they will be discontinued, because most hockey players only want the name brands, it's a sad fact. They are not willing to try smaller companies. They all want the Easton crap.

Before they stop making them, I'm scoffing up all the blades I can, because they are awesome. I sell them so fast and they are priced well. A good value for sure and a nice performing blade. Comes in Modano and Shanahan
