Flylite to me has the best feel, the vapor line is well known for that. plus with the added taper and moved up kick point. the shot also shines. big fan here.
to add, i have been very unhappy with warriors recent retail offerings. the Qrl is just what you said, great shot, no feel. Qre lacked both to em, and the Qx lacker feel. bauer won me back big time. dont ignore ccm either.

moving the kickpoint on this twig is a stupid feature, been using vapors due to their kickpoint and puck feel.
best twig hands down is an ADV if you can afford replacing them all the time. There is no comparison shot wise and stick handling.
Looking for BIOSTEEL jersey made by UA or Adidas.
Looking for Bauer Pro defender elbows size Large

its still a lower kick point, but I think they had to adjust due to the taper. whatever they did made a huge difference in my hands. last Friday I had the 1x lite and the flylite out on some open ice. its crazy coming back to the 1x lite and feeling like its a subpar stick in weight, balance and shot after using the flylite.
haven't had the pleasure of using the ADV's yet but people like yourself do speak well about them

If you love a "woody" feel, the True XCore line is awesome. The A-series feels a bit "crisper" but still dampened enough and not "pingy". Sher-Wood has solid feel generally, as does BASE. I can't stand the feel on Bauer Vapor series sticks. CCM's Ribcor line is also nice and dampened.
All personal preference though!

^^^^^ This...
I actually got a set of custom A6.0 HT's with the "Stiff" blade option (softest of the three they had at the time- Retail is considered X-Stiff and XX-Stiff is considered Pro).... Amazing feel. Still great pop on shots, but with the dampened-feel in the blade.
If you want that ultimate dampened feel, I would suggest BASE regular blades. I did feel they torqued a bit on shots though.

Holy. Shit.
The difference in everything was remarkable; puck feel, balance, shot accuracy/velocity. Truly unreal. And again, this was all with an unfamiliar (to me, at least) curve.
I am officially all aboard the Bauer Fanboy Train.

I’ve never used Bauer player sticks, always been CCM and/or Warrior (although in goal I use 2S Pro sticks, which are amazing). Tried out a pro stock ADV today with a P92 curve (a curve I am not overly familiar with).

By contrast - I’ve always found CCM sticks to have zero puck feel whatsoever vs Bauer (and even Warrior). Like I’m playing with a blade made out of granite countertop.
