Comments: This stick is not featherlight (I've been using the T90 undercover, very light) but has the look and feel of a composite stick that I love( really clean nice looking sticks). I thought the weight would hinder how well I could play the puck but I actually think I have more umpf on getting the puck up the boards and the extra weight seems to help dampen the shots ( has a good feel with very little if any vibration).I'm surprisingly very impressed with this bargain priced stick! Picked up both the white and black versions for less than the price of one T90 UC. I'm changing back from composite mainly for durability reasons(mine keep cracking). So if you are looking for a stick that has that cool composite look without the price, and durability (really just guessing on durability, only used for 1 week) I would HIGHLY recommend this stick.

Comments: Awesome stick for the price!! I loved the Sher-wood 5030 Wood stick with the Coffey P77 curve but recently began playing at a rink that doesn't allow wood blades. So I bought this stick with the P77 curve and couldn't be happier it feels and shoots just like the classic 5030 but it's lighter and has better kick. For it's price this stick is a great deal!
