RBK 9K OTECH or STEALTH S17?

Question

1. Which stick performs better?

2. Does it break easily?

3. Which is the better overall stick and why?

Answer 1

1: Stealth

2: RBK

3: Stealth Because it gives you more control. It is built lighter and has hand grips to improve puck handling.

Answer 2

1. the s17 is probably better, but the 9k is more realistic

2 the s17 breaks like crazy which is why the 9k is more realistic

3. the performance is probably the s17 but like i said before its unrealistic

there is one other stick that you should look at.

the rbk 7k. it is pretty much the same as the 9k but a little bit more reliable. ive personally felt all three of those sticks and i bought the 7k.

more pros choose the 7k over 9k too. but sticks are all personal and stuff so youll want to feel them before you go to purchase one. heres another plus about the 7k its about $50 cheaper than the 9k. but really to tell you the truth you probably wont even notice the performance difference between the 9k 7k or the s17.

hope that helps

I, unlike the other user who provided you with an answer, have used both sticks first hand rather than just hearing from another.  Personally, when choosing between the OStick or the S17, it really depends on what type of player you are. If you are a player who relies more on a quick release with the shot, often taking the wrist shot or snap shot in close on the net, the OStick would be a better choice.  The RBK stick is designed more for the centers or wingers who need that aerodynamic stick which will slice through the air more quickly to get off the quick shot. However, if you are the defenseman or a player looking to put out a maximum slapshot, the S17 would be much durable.  The Stealth withstands the demanding flex which is needed to get off the hard and heavy slapshot from the point.  Hopefully this helps you out.  Good luck in the upcoming season.

Answer 4

Hi right off the bat i will tell you s17 because it will not break as easy as the o-stick. I have a friend that has the o-stick and he broke it three times in one month. He had warranty for a month but the fourth time he broke it the warranty was up so he cant use it anymore.

I have another friend that has the s17 and he loves it. He has had it for six months and it still works like new he has not broke it and it still has no cracks.

So the better choice obviously is the s17, hope i helped and hope you enjoy your new stick.
