Needless to say, it felt a bit weird. I can see why people like using it though. Cupping the puck, toe drags are a lot easier. Saucer passes are a lot easier to do. Can get up a high shot really quick.

I haven't fully adapted to doing backhanders with this twig yet, but it definitely feels a lot harder to roof a backhander with this than my Cammy stick.
Exact same here.
I've been using a pm9(Malkin, Zetterberg) for about 2 years, but a got a Boedker pro-stock APX with a Drury-like crurve.

Love everyting about it, but I can't keep my slappers down, and can get a backhand up.
