After trying out a ton of different blade and shaft combos, the analysis pinpointed the spot where I always pickup and/or release the puck, and I ended up with a stick that has a custom lie (different lie for each half of the blade), which has made a notable difference in my shot.

$150-175 is a lot to shell out for a stick, but it's worth it if you have anything "peculiar" about you - physically or playing style
It would be in the mid/high-end of what you would pay for a random stick.

But if you look at only the high-end pure graphite sticks, I think it would be fairly cost-effective. The fact that it is 'custom' for you is just gravy.

Totally agree that it is worth it if you are taller than the normal range of sticks.
