Bought this stick to replace $400 CCM sticks that kept breaking. My son loves this stick and now wants nothing else. There are only really 2 negatives, neither are stick related. The stick is fantastic. First, after the season starts, the popular configurations sell out and aren't available. I would buy another one immediately if it was available right now to replace his current backup stick, but they're sold out. Second, If they are available there is a big lag between when the shipping label is created and when it actually ships. For standard shipping, expect 7 to 10 days minimum to get the stick. If they have your configuration, you won't be disappointed. I wish we would have found them sooner.
