2005 Easton Sticks now available

[Fletch 219]

BTM doesn't have anything left at their main store in the way of regular SL's, so it looks like I'll be sticking with my L-2.

And Great Skate sucks. They advertise the new Easton line like it's in stock. But when I called them they told me the sticks wouldn't be in until April. <_<

AZ to the east coast is about 7 days. i ordered on the 4th and the UPS says they will be here this friday (11th)

from the pictures it looks like the ST.

ST probably slightly. Guys, the Peoria store still has plenty of regular SLs... just not in certain curves/flexes

By looking at the Easton 2004 catalogue, you would think the Stealth, SL and ST were all the same handle shape and size.

This statement could not be further from the truth. I put a butt-end that was flush against the shaft walls of an '04 Synergy in my Stealth, and the wood sides stuck out so far on all four sides. It was a crying Hazard on the Ice.

hey, just wondering but do the SLs come with composite end plugs like the stealth? ive been getting mixed answers around the rink. thanks

[Fletch 219]

You'd think Easton would make the composite end plugs standard in all of their OPS's for 2005 but I don't think that's going to be the case.

If that doesn't happen, I really hope Easton starts selling them individually at a price that's reasonable.

I still don't get the point of a composite end plug. Wouldn't you want a weighted end plug to balance out the blade?

[Eazy_b97 1]

but if the stick is already balanced, then a heavier wood butt end would throw it off. I can see them selling well, especially if they come in longer lengths, say upto 8".

Yes, the Stealth and SL sticks come with the composite end plug. The ST's and the ONE sticks do NOT. Only the stealth and SLs from what we have in the shop. Most of the ST's have black wood plugs.

my dad has a stealth brand new (still in the box) and he says if he could add money and get the stealth grip....

I doubt it, but it couldn't hurt to call up and ask...I'm guessing you bought that stealth from BTM?
