Getting a new stick soon (broke one last year and my only one feels a bit cracked on the blade).
Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a ~6’0”, 185-pound 17-year-old? I take almost exclusively snapshots, and do a lot of battling and protecting the puck rather than dangling.
For the record I see this as in investment, in a way. I’m buying one stick, probably a high-end one and keeping it until it breaks. Currently I have a 1X Lite (P88, 87 flex) and previously have had an XCore9 and a 1S. I’ve liked all three for different reasons.
The XCore9 was probably my favourite- the puck control you have with that thing is ridiculous. The 1X Lite, obviously is a bit quicker, but I also found it had the downside of being a bit easier for defenders to knock away. I probably won’t get a FlyLite. The 2S- I dunno, I seemed to score when I used it. Could’ve been a coincidence, but I felt like I finished plays better. I’d probably want something more similar to the True though- maybe even go back to the XCore9.
I’ve seen some ads, from True and Warrior especially, about new sticks coming out soon that I would definitely look into- curious if anyone knows anything about these and of course, if anyone has any suggestions.
EDIT: Btw I’ve been looking at the Alpha QX and Dynasty HD1 Warrior sticks and of course, the XC9 ACF/XCore. But I’m open to ideas.
