Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted December 15, 2008 I'm not so sure about wood sticks being more durable anymore. I used to only buy sherwoods 5030 but they would start splitting at the blade and eventually break after about 2 months. I've been using a 2-piece easton composite that a teammate gave me for about 5 months now and so far so good. That's interesting, the 5030's are pretty much what I was using the last couple of years, sprinkled in with some others and a handful of old Hespelers that I just loved to death. I never really had any problems. Of course I play D and never really tried to score much so I didn't do a whole lot of shooting. I will say of all the sticks i've ever used I got the most consistency and accuracy on my one-timer out of the 5030's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted December 15, 2008 i forget what did hull use like a 70? or 65? I have a feeling I would fail a competency test regarding stick properties. GS&T's Guide to Buying Sticks Step 1 Go to back of store and find wood sticks hidden behind rack of pink & white striped hockey socks. Step 2 Find models with at least 5 sticks available to purchase. Step 3 Pick up each stick, set blade on ground and lean into for fat guy, beer league weight capacity test then hold stick parallel to ground in baseball swing fashion and take 3 cuts all the while imagining you are trying to cleave a composite stick in half. NOTE: If you hear a whooshing sound on your cuts, then the stick is not heavy enough and you need a heftier model. Step 4 Take as many sticks up to the register that you need +3 as insurance to cover rage induced breakage. Step 5 Look clerk dead in the eye and with straight face offer $50 bucks to take them off their hands so they can put newer merchandise up. Step 6 Smack something metal on the way out of the store just to hear that glorious sound of wood doing what the hockey God's intended it to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
