I absolutely love this stick. It is extremely lightweight, balanced feel, easy to control rebounds with, and is a good stick for shooting/ passing (if you like a large curve this may not be the one for you). The graphics are nice, it stinks that the shark teeth are in a spot that is covered by tape. I've had this stick for a month and a half and play 3 games a week, besides minor chips on the edge of the paddle there isn't any damage to the stick. The chips are small and don't compromise the integrity of the stick, much less than what I experienced with my Warrior Messiah or Reebok 8K. Even though I wasn't in need of a stick I asked for one of these for my birthday, it's an older model and I don't want to regret not having another when my original is retired.
