Wow, I hadn't heard any of that. Easton's always been a found nostalgia memory for me. Their aluminum/composite two pieces owned by the kids with wealthier parents were always a source of envy for the rest of us.
The Wayne Gretzky style silver aluminum being the Ferrari of eastons.
Then as an adult I fell in love with the original Stealth composite. It was the pinnacle of hockey stick progression, imo. Just perfect weight and thickness, every stick I've tried since is too thin, including later versions of the Stealth.
The squared dimension of the shaft compared to the rounded ones made it way more natural to hold as well, it just sat in your gloves better as opposed to rolling on you a little with the more common rounded models.
This baby here.
