i only have 2 sticks that i use and only play once a week, maybe thats why my sticks can last longer

I have 2 sticks, but my backup is never used unless my primary breaks.

HA! I wish it was that easy for goalies.

I'm on my 5th of the year....SINCE MARCH....T^T

^ are you slamming your goal stick over the crossbar or something, lol

Lol, I've been using the same goal stick since I've started playing in net. It's a cheapy Itech too..

I'm a dedicated Easton fan, I've tried the CCM's, the Total Ones, etc. Nothing feels as whippy and precise as an Easton. I prefer to take quick snap shots than slap shots, I currently have a few MAKO 110 flex and they're perfect. I agree that the durability is pretty bad as I go through about 3-4 sticks in a season, I'm on the ice with practice and games about 3-5 times a week. I just buy prostock sticks and cut them to my length to save $$, no real noticeable difference from retail sticks.

pro stock easton is still shitty durability as retail? lol. i remember when the Rs first came out and seeing Edler go through 3 in a game was brutal haha.

I don't know about the other Easton sticks, but when I broke my RS on a slapper less than 30 days after buying it and then breaking the replacement stick on it's first game, I vowed never to buy another Easton stick again.

I remember 2 or 3 years ago, watching the Canucks play, I would see 5 - 6 broken sticks a game and Don Taylor would make his usual remarks about how they didn't go to Cyclone Taylors to buy their sticks. :troll:

started playing again. Leg feels much better without screws. Now to shake off 6 months of rust

I'll tell Gil to call you out this weekend. :fullofwin:

Ya the first model R's were brutal for durability, snapped two in one year. Current models seem to last longer.

Had a X60 stick but broke it in half during a game last season :QQ: now got me a 20K prostock and loving it!

Anyone looking for a fishbowl from bauer? got one sitting on top of a cabinet collecting dusk

u probly shouldnt use 110 flex lol

Sounds like he knows what he is doing.

Haha I wish....I just play a lot (3-6 games a week).

I'm pretty rough with my sticks due to the style I play. I had my first Sher-Wood SL825 break on a poke check play, I had someone fall on and break my Simmons 9970. A shot shattered my composite Bauer TotalOne 4 games in, slap shot broke my last Sher-Wood SL825 at the handle, a foot below top of the knob.

Now I'm on a 27" RBK 8K composite, with a Sher-Wood P9950 foam core as a backup.

I'm going poor from all the sticks =(

NOW, Got shot in the throat back on monday. So I got this:

Lots of heat buildup, but feel safer instead.

do they offer 30 day warranties on composite goal sticks?

Fuck 2 games back into hockey and some fat Fuck Noob falls on top of my stick and snaps it hahahha

what stick?

My one.9 lol
Guess I gotta use that custom rs2 now. Although I did score 2 goals the next 2 shifts with the backup total one p08
Posted via RS Mobile

still have the p08 eh? I couldn't get used to that thing lol....

I dont know why I'm still buying easton.. break quite often. But sportchek had that stealth 85s for 100 bucks so I grabbed one of those. Hopefully it breaks in 30 days, or lasts a while lol

Easton def has great marketing and performance. Great if you are a kid or in the pros lol. Not very economical. If I was a pro, I would probably use Easton, TBH

hmmm haven't really noticed their marketing to be honest. Really don't follow or watch hockey. Just what a grew up using them so I stuck with it. The few times I ventured to RBK and Bauer I couldn't shoot worth a damn and didn't want to re-learn.

If anyone doesn't like Easton, I have a couple Total ones available. :pokerface:
