Comparing Easton Hockey Sticks

Easton Synergy Hockey Sticks

The Synergy is the first one-piece hockey stick. Easton makes sure it's also the best. More professional NHL hockey players use Easton sticks than any other composite stick. Every year the newest edition of the Synergy improves on the one that came the year before. It's well-known it's grip. The handle is coated in a bumpy yellow slip-proof covering which provides maximum hold during a long game. Something that's common with Easton sticks is a selection of the most popular curving to provide every player with his favorite, and the Synergy is no exception. While stories circulate criticizing the stick's durability it was rated the second most durable among major brands. Easton also provides a thirty day guarantee for those sticks that do break, so it's a fair gamble to pick one up even if the stories worry you. Regardless of the nay sayer's gripes, the Synergy is in high demand everywhere.

Easton Stealth Hock Sticks

The Stealth carries a hefty price tag, but then again it's not a stick meant for novices. A one-piece composite, corners are enforced with Kevlar to make it one of the most durable on the market. The composite end plug provides extra length and reduces the overall weight. Compared with most Easton sticks it is amazingly light, weighing in at an astonishing 395 grams. Stealth was developed and designed with a Dogbone shape, increasing the player's finesse and control. The stick also features a very low kick point, which makes for a much harder puck shot with less effort and little-to-no wear-and-tear on the shoulder muscles. Designed with forwards in mind, it helps a player refine his motion and develop a much slicker wrist-shot. For a player willing to make an investment in his sport Easton's Stealth is a slick stick and well worth the money.

Easton Classic Hockey Stick

For the budget-minded, the Classic is the wooden line of Easton Sticks, so don't buy one expecting it to last forever. While not resistant to hard use, it would make the perfect Christmas or birthday present any little hockey fan. The handles are even designed to fit smaller hands. It is cast in nineteen-ply laminate; for a wooden stick it's fairly strong. The Classic has a well-crafted Aircraft veneer construction, which makes it look sharp and guards against the chance of it splintering. While wooden sticks have fallen out of style, those who wouldn't touch a composite stick would probably do well to pick up the Classic.
