Got this for my son since he is still growing and it can ensure that he gets a quality stick that I can make adjustments to as he needs and at a good price. To many times I see parents go into a pro shop and just grab a stick which has different flex, different curve (since you are limited by what is in stock) they also don’t know the kick point and end up cutting it down changing the flex. This way I can order everything and get very close to the same stick he had so there are no adjustments he has to make. But my son loves the stick and he (like me) loves the shark skin finish as well, it lets your hand move when stick handling but bites good when you tighten your grip for shooting.
