yeah if you guys pick a base i would recommend the super natural over the savoy special. Although there are not as much customiztion you can do the stick does perform much better

Isn't the Savoy a low-kick while the Natural/Super Natural is a mid-kick?

Only shitty thing about the testing is you still have to pay for the stick haha. I would get a Natural but the flexpoint is above where my bottom hand goes for slappers and i take a lot of one timers. love the polar fiber grip and square shaft

I tried a Base stick out and was far from impressed with it. The blade felt dead, the stick was heavy overall, didn't kick that great, maybe it was just me, but I've used just about every stick out there and this is towards the bottom of my list.
There's a reason NHL players aren't using Base sticks.

I find the blade has more feel and dampens the puck better when passing and stickhandling. While shooting I do agree the blade doesn't have the same "pop" that some of the other sticks on the market have.
NHL players' relationships with their pro reps has a large part to do with what they use as well. They want the reassurance that they will be serviced and able to get gear in a quick turnaround. This was what made Warrior so successful in getting more and more NHLers to use their sticks a few years back. But just because they had the numbers doesn't necessarily translate to it being a far superior product compared to the competition.

I've had positive buying experiences with Base and I actually purchased one of the first ones off the line 3 years ago. But having to pay for a stick is not what I'd consider testing.

Right on about the testing part, i applied and got selected for it and was pumped then realized it was still going to cost around 130 and said never mind.

Normally the company pays to advertise their products/services.

Not trying to be an asshole or anything but they have pictures on their website. Why don't you go and look for them yourself.

Go to sticks, Savoy special and scroll down a bit.
