However, if you are willing to go a little lighter and about $30 over your price range, IMO the Vapor X40 is a great price point stick. Not a feather but pretty well balanced, a little blade heavy but not by much.

The problem I'm having is that the woods are lasting like 2-3 sessions and breaking. I just starting learning the slapshot this week and broke a wood on like the 5th try.
They just don't hold up too well, so unless I start buying the real cheapie woods at like $15/each it really is time to look at another option. Breaking a $45 wood every few games is just too much...
