I disagree with so much written here.
How come?
Surely you can't be disagreeing with what i said about pro stock sticks being built more durably than shelf sticks.
Or maybe you disagree with me saying usability is 1-60 days. Think about it this way. You buy a stick for the level you play at. The higher up you get the more performance you get but the durability lacks. A kid i played against last year had sticks custom tailoredto him and he went through 21 in 62 games. The reason is because sticks are supposed to bend. A lot. When you buy a stick the 'flex test' is to lightly imitate the motion of a wrist shot to see if you can bend it 5-10cm. Which means when you actually take the shot it should be flexing anywhere from 20-40cm..which is a lot. When a stick is bent the way it should be it cracks, its unfortunate but it does.
After taking shots all game plus getting stick checked, checked, anything, decreases the durability.
Im not saying you should fly tthrough sticks cause you use a 60 flex. Im saying that competitive players need not worry if they break sticks quickly..
Unless its an obvious form issue(IE;heel splitting, punching through the stick, etc.)
