Here's a closer look at some of the Pro Easton twigs dressed as Bauers.

What a tease, doesn't even show us the elliptical taper.
Custom everything.

Very nice.
Wish Bauer would do customs for non-pros...Easton lifer here, nothing's felt the same since

I DM'd their bauer.sticks Instagram account asking if regular guys will ever be able to do full customs again without needing to know a guy who knows a guy (like we were able to up until 2-3 years ago) and they said "maybe". Take that what you will. Not sure if that includes Easton tech or not, though.

I'd love to order some custom pro stock 1x lites. But... a man can dream.

Sorry to break your heart, however, when NHL teams are paying $180/stick and players are using 9-12 dozen sticks per season, your chances of paying $150/stick for only 6 sticks is slim and none.If theres a demand for True's custom skates... don't see why there wouldn't be a demand for customizable sticks. Just make sure the stick is about $150 with a min order of 6, else it would be pointless.

$180 is doable. Much better than $260-$300 just to have some in-between flex options, type of grip coating and a name plate attached to a retail stick.
His point is less the cost and more the quantity. Why would a company concern themselves to run 6 sticks for a regular person at the same cost they make 100 at a time for a player people pay money to watch and see using there product.
I’m not saying no company does it or shouldn’t do it but hoping for it to be at the same price is a far off dream

Around 3 years ago prior to the end of 'former' Easton and their Mexico factory I had inquired about doing semi-custom Stealth CXs, could choose colours and height and was only able to choose from pre-made moulds (which was fine, they obviously had tons to choose from)
The price I was given was $3000cad for a dozen.
I wasn't "fully into" the pro stock game yet, so this was my face at the time:

I ordered custom Easton sticks about two years ago. It was in the ballpark of $300/stick at 12 min. Took about 4-6 months to arrive and when they did, a few of them came with manufacturing flaws in the blade, they spelt my last name wrong, and most importantly, the sticks lasted me less than 30 days, sans warranty. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Wouldn't recommend, unless: Full customization and sub $200; otherwise, to a consumer, the price to product longevity is not worth it at $300 a pop. Live and learn, I guess.

I was quoted something like 310CDN/per stick for warrior and CCM’s over here in Vancouver.

Unfortunately that sweet employee discount isn't that sweet with custom sticks. Manufacturers give us great deals on things they want us to sell, unfortunately a batch of 12 custom sticks isn't very high on the selling list.

Interesting. When I ordered my warriors. I definitely didn’t pay that price per stick. I was about $100 less ordering through a hook up at a different shop who sadly is getting out of the gear business.

Yea. I remember reading about that.
For reference: my Bauer’s cost me about 215USD while my warriors were about 215CDN. And each arrived in about 5 weeks.
