| stanesq's Full Review: Easton Stealth One Piece Hockey Stick |
First off, let me say this. This stick is the lightest I have ever used, bar none. Thats both good and bad in different ways. While a forward will be able to easily manuever the stick while forechecking and carrying the puck, there is something to be said for having a more solid feel when receiving a pass. Forwards will also find they can get a wrist shot off quicker and will appreciate the lighter weight especially when trying to cut the corner to the net. Defensemen will find this stick somewhat annoying though as you will get through your slapshot much too quickly, especially if you have a hard shot already. My tendency is to pull the puck to the left using this stick because it is almost too light for a defenseman. (I am using a midcurve closed toe blade in case you are wondering.) To get the puck on net I really have to take my time and adjust my shot which I dont like. This is especially true if you play in higher level leagues where you play by instinct and have to make quick decisions.
