Most durable OPS?

[Megamandan 0]

I've had bad durability issues over the last year, just want to see what has worked for others.

I have two 02 silver synergys that, although they aren't used as often now, are still holding up. They were purchased about 2 years ago.

R+

Without a doubt the Vector 110 or 120.

I have had my Response+ since last March and it is still holding strong. It has a crack where the Hosel is, but hopefully it will stick around for a little longer. If I were to choose any I would have to say the Response+.

Ive had my vector v90 stick for a year and a half, no huge dents or splits anywhere and the blade is still solid. I play defense in high school hockey so I think i could say that the early vectors are tanks. Another kid on my team had a v120 and it broke in just over a month

my vote goes to the vector 110 judging from around here, where a couple have had theirs for 2-3 years and still going

Not a lot of experience with other sticks, but my '02 Synergy is still going strong (play 3-4 times a week during the winter, about once a week the rest of the year)

Response + is still going strong

Honourable mention to the 02 Synergy

this is for real.....i hated my vector and purposely tried to break it by trying to kill the ice whenever i did slapshots.....i did this about 100 times....either im weak or the vector 120c is a beast because there was absolutely no damage done to my stick after the pounding

That red and silver Tri-Flex was a tank, I've ever only seen a few people break one.

i have not yet seen a vector v110 break, my friend has 2 one peices and the blade/shaft went soft before it broke, so he just threw them out

V110 mine broke after about one and half years but just because I smacked it over the boards :D

I want to add a bit of interesting information....

I cut down all of my sticks, I ended up keeping all of the 2" peices cut from the top of the sticks.

I then take a hammer and bash the peice as many times as it takes to break. I've done this with peices from a V110, V100, V120 and recently my V130. It's evident from the amount of punishment the peices took from repeated hammer shots that these sticks are pretty durable!

Try that with a Synergy! ;)

Inno's are tanks!

vectors are strong but weighs a ton i only tried 100 and 110 but i think the 120 and 130 are lighter iam i rite

[Overtime 0]

sorry i forgot i mean much lighter like 10-30 grams

The Busch sticks were left out - damned near everyone knows those are durable like the pope is catholic.....

That red and silver Tri-Flex was a tank, I've ever only seen a few people break one.

I bought one of those when they FIRST came out (they were the first OPS I saw in stores), I used it for about 3 months and couldn't get used to the flex or curve on it (I assumed a lindros graphite would be like the 3030s I loved). Long story short, I sold it ages ago, and the guy I sold it to STILL uses it to this day.

The original Vapor XX with out (stick - um) GRIP was a Tank, i had 2 that lasted me a whole season and are still in fair shape, i use em for inline now and they still hold up well against the boards-slashes-hits etc...

Busch Laser - left out..it's one of the most durable stick..

but I would say...synergy

[joshy207 15]

LOL, "durable OPS"... that's an oxymoron, like "jumbo shrimp" and "military intelligence"...

(No offense meant toward the military, I heard that line in a comedy skit some time ago)

I think its about "which OPS is more durable"

(which evidently is the Vector) ;)

Yeah, but remember that study done at Windsor a while back? Those red/silver tri flexes registered an even lower (automated slapshot) speed than the unnamed wood stick.

I do think that the Busch stick is likely the more durable than the Vector (although, some have suggested that the Laser is a little more fragile than it's Balance or Carbone predescesors. The gold is likely (albeit it heavier) more durable than the Laser, but I digress....)

Inno's are tanks!

Not the blade on my 1100
