Previous Feedback
Comments: I just ordered this stick a few weeks back and finally got to play some games with it this past weekend, it was great. The ability to absorb pucks was amazing, rebound control was great, it is a little bit on the heavy side for a composite stick but feels great in your hand. It is also very balanced compared to some of the Bauer sticks i have used in the past. Over all this stick is a great buy for the price and all you goalies out there should try it out.
