Re: Easton Si-core vs. Synergy

Believe it or not, it works.  I was very sceptical.  I've used Synergy's for
a while and initially hated them but kept them because I'd spent the money
on them.  The Si-core definitely lets you pass and more importantly hang on
to a pass with a very cushioned feel.   Key point......the pucks DO NOT
bounce off the blade receiving a pass...something you have to develop a real
feel for with a regular Synergy.

I bought mine for $15cdn more than a regular Synergy (only because the cost
was very little more) and I've got to say what they advertise is true.  I
don't know if you sacrifice durability because I've only had it a month but
it's a great feeling stick.  I've had multiple Synergy's, Vector's (blade Ok
for curve but shaft feel, vibration sucked) etc, and nothing feels like the
Si-core.  I was sceptical but it's true.  I just hope I'm not sacrificing
longevity.

Hooked on one-piece sticks though.....I'd probably buy another one over
something else when it breaks.  Be interesting to see what the new Bauer
Vapor XX and the new Louiseville XN10 are like though.
