just ordered yet another stick from base.. matte grip all black ops.. p88 clone with snakeskin coating. cant wait! I've owned 4 sticks from base in the past 2 years. None have broke, just sold em due to being fickle with blade patterns. But I must say the p88 is going to be a keeper.

I'm unhappy with my stick from Base. It was a cool experience to do the whole custom stick thing but I will not be buying another stick from them. Your the first person ive heard that is happy with the product.

I have owned a lot of sticks, and they perform very well, and super durable.
Explain why you are so unhappy?

Feels cheap, every slap shot the stick feels like its going to snap. Wrist shots have no snap. Im pretty particular about the stick i use.

So far, what stick are you happy with?

Nothing to expensive an Easton Stealth or EQ with a 85 Flex they range from $99-$150.
My worst experience is with an Easton last year though i cant remember what type but it was $250 at sportschek and i had a $100 gift card there so i thought why not. The stick was a piece of crap, it broke after about 15 games.

I broke my first one on a slapper with under a month of use and the warrenty stick broke during its first game from a slash.

Easton's are probably the worst for durability. My favourite retail stick was the one95. it was solid. Then again, Bauer makes a pretty solid stick ever since the one95. I just like my base because I can get it in a 75 flex, and it performs as well as the one95 did for me, if no better. And you can't beat the price.

I still search online for one95's, no luck.
No matter what anyone says, nothing compares to it, and yes I've tried a ton of sticks.
I'm still really happy with my Dolomites

So far I have been using my Nexus for over 6 months, playing 3-4 times a week, and the stick is still going strong.

The blades were losing their stiffness and shots were turning into knucklers.

But deffinately the blades lose that "stiffness" over time. I notice my sticks just don't feel right. Even making a pass and I can feel it isn't right but the blades look fine. No cracks what so ever on the heel.
Happened to 3 Macdaddy's, 2 One95's and 1 Totalone so far.

My blade toes will chip from mucking and digging in the corners.
I really like my Base stick as well, but I'm not too particular about sticks personally.

All the old sticks I either threw them out or gave them away to some beginner friends.
