I have nothing to substantiate my claim, but I've come to understand that it's basically the Nexus Team stick, which I've used before and firmly believe is absolute rubbish. Pity.
Whoever is behind the engineering of those sticks, along with the entire current Vapor line, should be burned at the stake.

Just my opinion, but if you're looking for yellow graphics at that price point, you're much better off getting together with a few friends and ordering some PRO sticks. I know they take 2-3 months, but the quality is far superior to a mid-level Bauer stick with a Synergy paint job. You can use your specs instead of only having three options for curve and four for flex. The "Model E" build with kevlar grip is based off original Easton sticks.
"What is your lowest/best price?" is NOT an offer.

Good suggestion. It’s really stupid to offer anything resembling a Synergy without trying to get the texture right. Pro should make a more detailed Synergy inspired graphics package; call it Pronergy or STnergy or something. I’d go for a Starskie rip-off. Those were nice looking. Model E kevlar looks closer to Warrior’s narrower weave from the early Dolomite days anyway.

I might do something similar on my next custom order. I loved my original yellow Macdaddy back in 2008-2009.

Was already planning this for the next order.

Funny, I actually ended up doing exactly that. I also ordered a darker gold version to pay homage to the first generation Synergy Grip, but this one turned out better.

I never owned one, but I loved the look. I would jump on one in a heartbeat right now if I found the right curve. There was a Draper Left 85 on Kleinanzeigen eBay-De last year. I was tempted but I'm partial to the Fedorov, Smyth, and Weight.
