This is a great wood stick, very similar to (if not the same as) the TPS response wood sticks (now discontinued, I think) but with different blade patterns. I used the TPS wood sticks for almost a year after I got back into the game, and the first time I took a shot with this Easton version, I nailed the crossbar from the blue line. Super light for a wood stick, and great for blasting the puck. My only complaint is that since I'm 6 feet tall, I wish these sticks were just a little bit longer.
