Easton Stealth sticks (looking for good review)

[jayswin]

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good site that reviews hockey sticks? I just picked up an Easton Stealth as I've heard some good things about them. The price of $300 was holding me back, however sports swap now has them on sale for $229.99.

Has anyone on here used them?

[Iggy Snipe]

Yah that is all I use. They are unreal, and have been very durable for me. I have an Iginla curve and it works wonders. Love them .

[jayswin]

cool thanks, I bought the Iginla 100 flex.

Try these two sites, www.epuck.com and www.modsquadhockey.com. If you go to the stick section on epuck there are some reviews.

If you are open to another brand, both the MacDaddy and Dolemite from Warrior Hockey are actually getting better overall reviews, for both performance and durability. Gaining good reputation even in the NHL as a lot of guys are using them now.

Though part of the reason they use them, is Warriors turn around time on new sticks is quicker than Easton. I have a Macdaddy and its the best stick i ever have had. They are all bout the same price as a Stealth.

If (when) you break it, will you go back to the bench and cry?

I know I would.

The day I spend more than $40 bucks on a stick...well lets just say the Leafs are more likely to win a cup.

^^ I agree. However, I did buy a $70 Easton Synergy in spring of last year because it was on clearance and it is amazing. I would have definitely gone through three wood sticks by now and that stick is still working great for me.

If I cried every time I broke an expensive hockey stick at a rec game, I'd officially be a girl, lol. Seriously though, I just love the improved stickhandling ability and more hard/accurate shot you get with the higher end sticks. In fact this year alone I've gine through about 8 or 9 of them at about $150 per stick. I know that's upwards of $1400 a year, but it's like an addiction for me - I break one, I go out the next day and by a new one - it's like clockwork. .......... I have a problem...

I love one piece sticks. When the blade chips and breaks I can just saw it off and toss on a wooden blade.

I actually prefer wood blade on a carbon shaft over one piece anyway.

Unless you're being paid to play, $229 is entirely too much to be paying for a stick.

Personally I stick with the $50 composite sticks and they work just fine. I honestly prefer wood, but they don't last nearly as long, so the composites are actually cheaper in the long run.

I have both a Synergy and a Stealth, and they are far and above the best sticks I've ever used.

You spent $140 on your last stick Flashpoint. Don't be a ######.

Professional Skate Service has those Easton Stealths marked at $314.95. What's with that place and their inflated prices?

Cyclone Taylor has them at $212.65 including tax and shipping.

Damn, I should check if Sport Swap still has some, be nice to have at least one really nice stick.

Sports swap in Midnapore still has a few, so does the one on elbow and southland. Although, the elbow location doesn't have a sign saying they're on sale, but I'm sure they'd match the sale of their other store.
