Buying a new stick for the season.
Should I get the RBK 8.0.8. or the Easton ST?
Or an old school Vapor XX navy/powder blue?
Or what would you suggest?

Eh

I like the Easton ST. Easton is my favorite stick.

CCM Vectors are the shit. I highly recommend picking one up. I hear that the Reebok O sticks break easily but I haven't actually used one before.

well i have a vapor xxxx. i really like the vapor xxxx's flex and feel. its also really light. the xxxx is good for wristshots and snapshots and ok for slapshots. if you take a lot of wristers, i highly recommend this stick. i really dont know if they still make these, but i love this stick. i have the 67 flex malkin curve.

Well, I'd say depending on the position you play, you should invest in the right stick for what your role is on the ice. I play defense, have always used a wood stick and recently bought major stock in the RBK 2K, 40KP/85MS (They were on sale so I bought a fuck-ton of them). Nice solid piece of lumber that is really durable. I've tried the 3k's (Wood P38's) for a while because they were a bit lighter but found they had too much whip to them and in most cases couldn't stand up to the rigors of the position so I switched back to the 2k's. So yeah, I'd say depending on the position you play, go for a twig that is the proper fit.

I think I know what Sherwood you're talking about, Irony. Those seem like a pretty bang-on stick. Never used Warrior sticks but I had a pair of their gloves. Seem like they make some decent gear as well.

Side note; I've tried using a composite stick once, and I honestly don't know what all the hype is about them. I hated the dame thing. Also, that is all you can buy in my town now, it seems. When I need a new batch of sticks, I always have to travel an hour or so out of town to get the sticks I like which rots my arse.

i used featherlites for a while when playing inline and ice on occasion. the feel of a wooden stick is undeniable, and they hold up better. i also love the feel of the stick when i take a slap shot. just seems to have a little kick in it.

Last year I used sherwood 5030's all season. Still have a few for back ups but I have a little extra money so I'm gonna get a composite. I wont go near Warrior, so what else would you reccomend?

Eh

Which Vector's are you using? The first o-stick was pretty bad but still one of the sticks that was returned the least for broken sticks where I work. I went to an RBK/CCM product showing and the new 8.0.8. looks real nice.

Eh

Exactly, I play FWD and I use the vapor xxxx. I say if your a d-man, go with the one95, if your a FWD go with the xxxx
