The Easton Stealth RS II has been redefined but still holds the premier spot on the Stealth line. With concerns of durability on the line, Easton redirected their focus and took the RS to a heightened level for a second time. Weighing in at just 444 grams (senior) the RS II offers a nicely balanced feel in your hands. The RS II shaft is now equipped with TORX, which is the distinguishing elliptical shaft shape in the lower portion of the hockey stick. This increases the shaft strength and rigidity to the blade, resulting in rapidly quick shots and accurate releases. The elliptical tapered shaft is now constructed of woven Kevlar for extra strength as opposed to the original RS which just has a Kevlar wrapped shaft. Rounded shaft edges allow the shaft to fit naturally in the hand while the long-taper gives you a leg up on stick loading and accuracy. Matte finish from the top all the way to the tip of the blade continues the just right theme offering excellent hand/shaft control. The composite blade features Multi-Rib and Micro Bladder technologies with increased blade stiffness, which improves shot accuracy, puck feel, quick release, and most important the overall life of the stick. Taking over the competition again with its added technologies the RS II holds the premier spot for a reason.
