Comments: The best value out there for a solid wooden goal stick. Very durable. I play old-timers, stand-up style and like the heavier stick, which takes hard shots with less vibration.
From: Mark, NH
Comments: This stick is great! It's very durable and I've used it several times on driveway surface. It has held up pretty well. It;s also not too heavy, which is great. I'm 5'10" and it's just my size.
