This stick came up on amazon when I was looking for something else but I decided to click on it and check it out, thank god I did. Purchased the 45 flex junior with the 28 curve. $80 total shipped to my door, easily the best hockey stick decision I've ever made. Immediately this stick became my favorite in my lineup. I will compare this stick with a 40 flex bauer sync P88, 40 flex ccm trigger 6 pro P90TM, and two sticks I recently bought direct from an Asian supplier; one a Junior 50 flex P92 curve and an Intermediate 50 flex P92 curve.STX height:Heel to end of shaft; 52 inches.Toe to end of shaft; 58 inchesWeight (from my scale not websites listed weights) (with tape on handle and blade for all sticks):STX - 341 gramsChinese JR - 337 gramsChinese INT - 358 gramsTrigger 6 pro - 344 gramsSync - 346 gramsSTX - the pure grip on the under side of the shaft really is awesome. One of the issues I've had with a lot of junior sticks is the height of the blades being much smaller and therefore having the puck bounce right over them. I measured the height of this STX blade and the height of P90TM (which is designed with a max height feature) and they were basically the exact same. I then compared it to a P28 curve that I had on an Easton stealth cx st stick and the curve is identical but the STX blade was significantly higher which is again a great thing.Overall I am a big fan of all of the sticks that I have but this STX stick is easily the stick I reach for the most and for $80 shipped to your door, it is the greatest stick deal I've ever come across including finding a deal on sideline swap. This stick is easily as good as the other top of the line sticks and in all honestly I personally like it more.
