Seriously though, so much more flexibility and rotation with the X:60s. No sacrifice of style, either.

I've been using Vapor X:60 sticks for a while, and they've held up well. I've only broken 1/3. My back-up, which was my main stick for a while, seems weak somewhere in the heel though, but it's still got a lot of resistance when I flex it. Then again, I've seen someone break their stick on the one side, and continue to play with it, unknowingly, as it was still attached on the front-side of the shaft. It didn't last very long. But, to me, it highlighted the "weaknesses" in the CF/composite build. On the one hand, very light and very strong. On the other, the integrity of that strength can be, in some cases, subtly compromised. That's when you end up with a stick like I have for my secondary. It's a 110 pro flex, and I used to rip shots with it. However, now, everything seems to flub because, I suspect, there is some give which hasn't yet gave.

In any case, I was thinking of getting a new stick recently: Bauer Total One, Kane (curve), 102 flex, Lie 6 FTW! I love this pattern.

Sorry, I am not trying to jack your thread.
