Ya i like them. They are my favorite stick. But way to expensive and not great quality, well performance is goof but durability, phfff wood sticks last longer somtimes.

i have a CCM Vector 110, best stick on the market. its lightweight, durable and i just love my sundin blade on it. although it does has a a small disadvantage, the tip of the blade wore much too fast. yes, they are expensive but well worth it.

i'm a goalie so all i get is one piece sticks

I love my Brodeur Stick!

I think that one-piece sticks are just a waste of money. I use a wood stick and I shoot harder and quicker than all the players on my team with one-pieces (pieces being the key word), and they're just too damn light.

Stick to the wood sticks. You can buy about 12 for the price of a one-piece.

I also have CCM Vector 110. Best piece of hockey equipment I've ever invested in.

The sticks that you saw during the playoffs and most of the season that were breaking, was the Easton Synergy. The most expensive stick on the market by far, but obviously not the best. You can't dislike every one-piece stick there is just because Easton's went bad. CCM has made a very good quality stick that will be able to endure professional level hockey.

As for the Advantages of having a one-piece stick over a wooden stick. First of all, you may be able to buy 12 wooden sticks for the price of one composite stick but, you'll go through probably at least 8 or 9 wooden ones before the one-piece stick would wear. The number of wooden stick broken would vary depending on how you used the one-piece. Secondly, who wants a big, heavy stick to carry around when you can have a light weight, flexible stick that can with stand shot after shot.

Obviously for young hockey players it would be completely pointless for their parents to buy them 200 dollar sticks when at that level it doesn't even improve their performance.

On the note of 200$ sticks, the synergy. It's a good stick with lots of snap and gives of a killer snap and slapshot. Take one too many though and snaps in half in you hand. Not only do you get accesed a 2 minute minor but $200 went down the drain. I have a ultra lite and a ultra carbon, neither being one peicers but what i like best is the shannahan blades.
