After a few games with this stick, it seems to be worth the purchase. Learning how the ball interacts with the baller's unique head may prove to be challenging to some players, but should be worth it in the long run, as it adds more control to stick handling compared to the average broomball stick. The stick is by no means light, but this allows for more power off of shots and makes it harder for opponents to stick-lift you out of the way. The head makes saucer passes and scoop shots simple. Overall, this is a good stick for a more experienced player that can increase their skill cap if they are willing to put in the time to get used to its unique features. Pros - Long reach; "cup" head allows for great stick handling; strong in tie-up scenarios Cons - Can be a bit too heavy for some players; the curved edge makes power shots come off differently than a standard head;
