Overview
The Alkali CA9 RPD hockey sticks are a great choice for top-notch sticks for roller hockey, especially since these were specifically designed for the roller player. The Vibration Dampening Coating used throughout the CA9 RPD stick helps to reduce puck vibration in the shaft and blade while also increasing puck feel on the blade. Since Alkali incorporated this material in the shaft and blade, the slightly rubber grip eliminates the necessity to tape the blade and gives a shaft a calm grip texture. Another material seen throughout the stick is the 3k carbon fiber weave that runs top to bottom, providing a consistent shaft and blade that is balanced and featherlight. The Alkali CA9 RPD stick is going to have a low-kick point, allowing the shooter to quickly load up the stick giving them a fast response perfect for tight situations.

Comments: Not A bad stick, used prostock before so it does seem alittle heavy however after a few games it felt like any other high end stick. Overall 7 or 8 out of 10 would buy another but I still have the original haha

Comments: For the price point this is the best stick available. It performs like an upper end stick and is built like a tank.
