Anyone esle notice those FAKE "composite" hockey sticks stores are trying to sell?

Question

They paint a wood stick like it's a composite stick

That's pretty shady. tryin to rip people off!

Answer 1

yea i've seen them before

Answer 2

Wal-Mart is known for their offbeat shenanigans

Answer 3

ya my stick broke 2 days after i bought it

Answer 4

They are like 24.99 .You surely know that for the money you are not getting a true composite.I have seen some cheap composites online,but these are painted with a plastic coated type paint.Maybe its for the new players who dont know or care.

Answer 5

I only buy wooden sticks. I love my nice wooded stick. I don't know, I've never been that big on composite ones.

Answer 6

wouldnt somebody who has actually played before know when they are holding  that nice light composit  over the weight and feel of a wooden one?

Answer 7

(opposite marketing here)

one of the best sticks I ever had was the Louisville Tri-Core which was graphite/kevlar (like an Easton ZBubble) then painted in birch so it looked like a woodie but responded like a top-of-the-line 2 piece stick if you had a good blade in there. anyone know where I can get one? I usually use a 100 flex. saw one on Ebay awhile back but it was a 120

PS : are you referring to sticks like the Easton Synergy ABS? i agree that it's poor marketing but if ppl are dumb enough to buy those sticks it's their problem not mine

hey Darren seems like a knock-off of the "Power-Flite" aluminum sticks of the early/mid-90s, those were so fu**ing cheap that even in grade 10 when I was 5'7 and 130 i bent one in two
