Also bought a Sherwood Coffey Blade for my piece of trash Easton Octane shaft, but it'll work. The guy said the Coffey is the most popular blade pattern.

Anyway I was wondering if anyone is selling any composites? or if they have any advice on cheap composites and where to get them? or maybe even a lightweight wooden stick. Any help would be appreciated.

I've known several people over the years that got Ballistik one-piece sticks and even shafts and only one player I met was happy with his stick, although he didn't like the weight of the stick...so not even he was fully satisfied.Headcoach said:Ya, just works with Ballistiks only. So you say they are crappy? In which way? They break all the time? They are not flexable enough? Are you talking about the wooden ones or the composite ones?
I just don't understand, If they make stick for everyone else (Bauer, Hespeler,Louisville, Mission, Nike, Sherwood and Victoriaville) does that mean that these manufactured sticks are crappy as well?
The reason why I ask and not to be a smart ***, but I see a lot of players with all of these manufacture's sticks. And if Ballistik make these stick for all of these other manufacture, and everyone else loves them, them why are their stick any different that the Sherwoods or the Hespeler's of the world?
They are the same stick are they not? But without you having to pay for the Nike or Sherwood name...right?

sc37 said:Yes Petey...the famous maker is being sold as WinWell and another brand too I think. Also are blank, no graphics. But yeah, they are higher end sticks...people on ModSquad had a list going, I'd look that up if anyone was interested. I know one person mentioned that they got a Inno 1100 as a WinWell I think. Ain't bad...since the Inno is actually a Warrior.
Inno was making Nike/Bauer, Winwell and I believe Hespeler sticks at one point in time too. Up until Warrior bought them out. Chances are the Ballistik sticks are either made in the same factory using much cheaper materials and a different blueprint, or they just have a few people working for them that quit the above listed brands. It looks like they owned the factory for some of the first run OPS, before those companies may have jumped ship to make their own sticks. Alot of sticks are made at the same factory, but come out much different than the others within it because of the specs they are made to.Headcoach said:Ya, just works with Ballistiks only.
