Review: Our good friends at Easton just sent us the NEW STEALTH RS! My first impressions of the stick was that it looks kind of like the old Nike sticks because of the design. The stick is all blacked out except for the parts that say "Stealth RS" and those parts are yellow. The stick has the option of grip or no grip. The stick I have has no grip on it. The sticks with no grip on them have a bunch of tiny little holes that enable your hands to slide really good on the shaft, I really like that! Another cool feature of this stick is the Low-Kick Point Flex. The stick flexes at an extremely low point in the stick which allows the shooter to get more of the "snap" on his/her shot. I would recomend that you go up a flex when swithcing from Bauer, Reebok, Miken, Harrow, Etc. Those sticks have a higher flex point so when you switch over to the Stealth RS it will feel really "whippy" and "flexy." For example, if you use a 77 flex Bauer I would reccomend you use a 85 flex Stealth RS. One thing I did notice was that the first couple of shots I took with the stick I heard it cracking. Dont worry about that, In another review I read about the RS the guy said he experienced the same problem. (Probably because the fibers have to expand from never being flexed before.) I really think Easton has stepped up their game in the Hockey Stick Maket and I like where they are going with this stick. This is one of the best sticks I have ever owned.
