balance isn't bad but it's a little heavy and it has NO puck feel. It looks nice though! haha..
It's not going to perform nearly as well as higher-end stick and I feel that money can be better spent elseware but it will be decently durable.
For the same price as a synergy 300, I got a TPS XN10... You can't honestly compare the two as one is a price point and one is pro level.
