Wood sticks .vs. composite shafts

[zanman187 0]

Ive been playing with wood sticks for about 6 years now, but im starting to break them to quickly and its getting expensive to buy a decent wood stick every 2 or 3 games. Im looking at buying the Easton Ultra Light Shaft and some wood blades. Compared to wood sticks will the performace be better/worse, and will the feel be affected?

Thanks

One isnt really "better" then the other. It all really personal preference. Some people like woodys over Composites and some dont. The stick combo you mentioned would probbly be a good way to start though, to see if you like composites.

I went from wood sticks to 100% composites and hated how much I had to sacrifice in puck feel.

I then compromised and use an Easton UltraLight shaft with a wood blade and it gives me the better of both worlds. Note I said better and not best as 100% composites are lighter and give more zing to your shots and 100% wood will give you best feel.

Good luck,

JJ

I have a very strong shot, puck feel aside which would give me the most perfromace on slapshots (wood or the Ultra Light)
