I've used the stick for about two months now and have no complaints. I've compared the stick to some of my other lower end models and the difference is easy to see. I have much more control over the stick and it delivers great shots everytime. I highly recommend this stick.

I had it for about 8 months playing 2-3 times a week. Great handling and amazing shot. I had the 77 flex which still seemed kinda stiff. Stick finally broke in half after I slashed someone pretty hard. Luckily for me it was the last game of the season I plan to purchase another before the start of next season.

This is my first experience with a Bauer stick, and I'm so impressed. I just got last week, and I've only used it for one game. I'm playing in an adult indoor, inline rec league. I'm definitely not known for scoring goals. I think last season I had 1 goal in 14 games. I had been using a low end Mission Soldier OPS, but I had some extra money and decided to upgrade. In the one game that I used the X:40...I was able to rip a wrist shot top left, right over the goalie's shoulder from just inside the right faceoff circle. The shot was completely legit; It was against an above average goalie. I loaded the puck, flexed the stick, aimed...and I was shocked at the speed and power. I've never been able to shoot like that with any other stick. I'm 100% convinced that if I had been using the same old Mission stick, I would've shot wide or the goalie would've stopped it. Maybe that's just superstition, but I truly believe that this wasn't just a lucky shot. The stick is amazing. By the way, I'm using a PM9 curve / 77 flex. I did cut it down a little, so it's about an 84 flex. AMAZING!!!

Finally got this stick in the mail today and was fortunate to use it today! (Inline) Felt great, both forehand and backhand! The Kane curve is easy to stick handle with, and it elevates the puck pretty nice without much effort! Would recommend to anyone!!
