i bought a vapor XXX last week and it broke at the blade yesterday...after a practice and a game. 2 weeks prior to that, i had broken a vapor XX stick'um, which i had for 3 months. funny thing is that i had never broken a stick before these past 2 weeks, where i have broken 2 Bauer's.
right now im using a si-core and 2003 synergy(which is still in great shape
i have a TPS r2xn10 shaft with a iginla synthesis blade and a easton si core synergy in a modano. i dont like the synergy at all so i may buy another shaft and blade combo in the next few months. the other day i also bought a bauer tru flex for 10 bucks on clearance. its heavy but should work well for beating up outdoors.
I've got two christian goal sticks(100s) one with a Khabibulin curve and one with a Brodeur. I also have a CCM(H6) with a Brodeur curve.
For roller hockey I have a Bauer 3000 with a St. Louis curve. I really really like this curve, I almost got a Lindros curve and then I saw the St Louis. Not only is St. Louis one of my favorite players but his curve is soo wonderful for my playing style. I definitely recommend trying it out(It looks like an inbetween for a Forsberg and Lindros).
I use two Inno Novius shafts, both with Jokinen/P106 pattern blades.
-Pro-stock (1100 paint job), 300 flex, standard, Bauer 1000 blade
-Retail, 380 flex, tapered, Bauer XV blade
Recently, I picked up a Mission Hex-1 (Elias, 75 flex) on a whim, I like it so far, but haven't put a lot of time on it.
