is Base hockey really that good of a company? I have heard some different stories about them, but wanted some real knowledge before I order a stick.....

I have a two piece with Hossa pro blade.. Love it. They say they are based (no pun) out of North America.. true.. when you call they are in Canada.. however the goods are actually manufactured in Mexico, NOT in Canada.. I haven't had any issues I highly recommend.

I like my Base sticks because I can get the lie, blade, and flex that I prefer. I love my pro stock sticks as well, but as soon as I found one I really liked, the supply usually dried up. I haven't had any problems at all with Base.

my two piece was reasonable.. Think I paid 95$ for the shaft has my name and number on it +4 inches.. blades came out to about 70$ a pop + 22 for shipping but you can order as much as you want and the shipping is the same 22$

well look at it this way when you have to replace a blade it will cost less than half the price. plus depending on what curve you like.. can't get a Hossa clone that easily..

I have a couple questions:
What email is best to contact for custom logo, etc?
What is the shaft shape like? Which is closest to the nexus?
How's the balance and weight?
I'm looking at getting a savoy ops, but want to clear some things up before I do.

.
The savoy special has rounded corners while the polar fiber has square corners like the nexus. If you want a savoy special, you can ask for it to have square corners.

They have the Hossa pro if you like toe curves, i believe the Russell is similar to kreps as well if i remember correctly

The russell is something like 2 cm taller than the hossa

They probably have something similar to what you're using right now
