The Easton S7 hockey stick offers solid performance at a value price.
Easton has used a kevlar® wrapped to increase the feel and durability of the stick. The kevlar® material also helps absorb vibrations giving the stick a solid feel. The Stealth 7 hockey stick has an ultra thin taper that decreases weight and offers a great low-kick point. The low-kick point results in an explosive shot release. The Elliptical Profile™ improves torsional strength that helps increase shot accuracy.
