Answer 1

You're an intermediate. That means you're still growing.

None of those. You can get one when you won't outgrow it. Those sticks are all 150+ dollars. That's not cheap.

Intermediate doesn't have too many two piece options, which I recommend for anybody save a pro, junior, or division 1 college player, So I might go ahead and get a 70 flex senior shaft and blade.

that is the old style Top of the line shaft. It's tapered, and the Easton Synergy Shafts are pretty much the best shafts available. The tapered design makes it feel like a one piece.

Or you can get the Latest one, the Synergy Elite.

Both are available with grip, but I don't like it. It screws with my stick handling.  

And the blade for both is here:

The thing with a two piece is that if the shaft or blade breaks, you can replace the broken part for much less then the cost of a new stick

Edit: About the O stick. The Os do stiffen it, but move the kick point up on the shaft, whihc increases energy loading for slapshots and such, but decreases accuracy. If you need to actaully aim a puck, go with the 7K. It's a good stick, not a stick where marketing and hype drove the design. A lot more NHL players use the 7K then use the 9K because it's a better stick.

Answer 2

personnaly i like the rbk 9k the best i use it

Answer 3

u should get the easton synergy pro 300 it is not flexible but when i saw this kid use it he had a great wrist shot everybody compliments his stick and they always ask to borrow it

Answer 4

if u want a 1-piece, go with something cheaper, try the Mission or TPS

Answer 5

the first guy brings up a point you are still growing.so either get a cheaper one piece or go with a two piece. for some suggestiosn for the one piece if you liked your vapor geta  cheaper vapor theyre all built pretty much the same just that the better thaey get the lighter.

or you could get a rbk 4k which isnt as good but still gets the job done.

and if you still insist on getting one of the  expensive ones get the sickick red. i have one and i love it. it feels so good to me.

Answer 6

Answer 7

nike bauer vapor I

Answer 8

Out of that list... i would say the ccm U+... my opinion the lightst/most durable of the bunch.. buddy/coworker broke his /ostick 1st day he played with it, 7k.. dont bother, vapor xxxx with the stickum would obviously my 2nd choice
