Previous Feedback
Comments: This is the best composite stick I've played with. Reasonable cost and you can actually "feel" the puck. Stick has held up well over two seasons of hockey with lots of hacks and stick lifts.

Comments: I purchased this stick since it was on sale and I had very good luck with the previous version (the gray and red graphics). This particular stick came with an unusual vibration right out of the box and only got worse after one game. Unless you can put your hands on this stick at a retail store first be aware of this issue. Thank goodness for the warranty. Easton reps will help you when you call for a return.

Comments: Love this stick. Been using it for ball and ice hockey and it's low kick point has been amazing at getting shots off quickly. Durable too. Haven't had any issues like I used to with some of the stealths and durability.
