This stick replaced an all wood RBK that took a beating (then finally broke).
Pros:
* Light
Cons:
* Durability
After 6 months of use (1 time a week adult senior league), the paddle and stick shaft are cracked and getting much worse. It looks like the stick shaft is not solid wood which isn't helping the durability, and the paddle once cracked begins to break down even faster because the structure integrity has been compromised.
If you can find this stick on sale, it is worth the purchase, but not at full retail value.
