I got two 1st gen. sticks to test for free because my shop thought about adding it to our product line. So I ordered 1x LH 75 flex Sakic for me and 1x RH 85 Sakic for my collegue. First impressions: heavy, not well balanced, felt cheap like a low-end stick, no grip. After a closer look I ended up getting 100flex Iginla LH and 75flex sakic RH. Even the design was just a sticker which could be removed easily...
First ice session, I changed to my normal sticks after 3 minutes. The blade felt weird, the stick vibrates like hell and there was that annoying metallic sound every time I touched the puck.
After all, I tried to crack it like in the video by hitting the post, didn't work. So, if you want a very long lasting stick, go for it. But that's the only positive thing of it.
Don't know if their Gen. 2 improved...
