January!!!

My kids experience with any bauer stick is... they seem to break at, or, just after the warranty period, whether it's the Vapor XXX, XXXX or One-90...they're great sticks but it's like planned obsolescence.
If they don't just snap just above the heel on the shaft, they delaminate lengthwise along the blade rendering them useless.
I'd like to know which one pc high performance stick last the longest and takes the most abuse? by bantam and HS players.

Go old school and get back to using wood sticks. My son made the jump back last summer and likes them much better than any compostites.

Think if masses started to switch back the price would retreat on the comp sticks??
At least bring them down to something reasonable?
Sherwood makes awesome wood sticks IMO...so lets put the pain back in the old 2 hander

these ultra lite sticks are like hittin with a fly swatter!

I am sure the speculators would say differently!!! just like the oil prices.

I like the stealth cnt no grip heatley curve but they stopped making them and the se and the s17 are a little pricey.
The way I see it is get what you like just cause your a high schooler doesn't exactly mean you have to have a 100 flex top of the line stick I mean you look at a lot of the pros they use 65 and 75 flex sticks that are considered mid line sticks

The Bauer sticks are the best and most dependable.
My son has used Reebok, Easton S17 and Bauer. He prefers the Bauer over the others. In our case they held up better. I think thats what counts the most.
I only wish I would've bought the Bauer's first. One thing important to note. Just like everything. The kids will want the latest and greatest. Ask the sports shop which one is the most dependable.
