I also got it for 50 bucks. I've taken the stick to ice at least 6 times now.
Stupid light for the price, in fact you won't find any other stick in the same weight range for as cheap.
I got the C3 curve which is supposed to be malkin but its got a crazy toe curve though, not sure what happened there, but the stick is great, the paint comes off pretty easily but who really cares about that.
It's probably too stiff for the smaller guys but I like the flex, the blade is super stiff too which is good, my 5k just feels like crap now. I was half expecting it to snap on me when I let a good slapper go but I'm not worried about it breaking quicker than any other stick now.
