Comments: The best stick ever. I play once a week, and has satisfied my game. I have blocked shots with it, and gotten slammed into the boards with it, and has stayed up very very well. There are a few marks in the blade region of wear and tear, but nothing that it effects its performance. I was also amazed when I bought this that for the price it had, it was super light. I have gotten some great goals with this stick, and I will never change. I got one with 70 flex, Kopitar curve, and I have gotten some really powerful slapshots, that got my goalie crazed. Also, it is really easy to control, so during shootouts, I have no problem getting past the goalie. This is the best stick ever, and I would recommend this stick to anyone.

Comments: This is a great stick for the intermediate to advanced player. This stick has a great price, and offers a great level of play. I love the grip coating on the stick . This stick has survived every single deflected shot, and looks brand new. This stick is amazing for the price. Warrior provides you with a wide variety of curves so you can decide what is best for you. This is a very good stick that will surely bury you some goals and provide you with great passing and handling. This stick is very light so you won't feel like you are lugging a huge piece of wood. This one piece stick has a low kick flex point for that great quick shot. If you decide to purchase the Warrior Vandal X Grip stick, you will surely get a great level of play and as many seasons out of this indestructible wonder I would rate this hockey stick a 4.5 out of 5! Great quality!
