STX Ice Hockey Surgeon RX3 Hockey Stick

Good stick at good price

Bought this for my husband and he couldn't be happier! He absolutely loves it! Would highly recommend this quality stick!!

I'm replacing a couple 5 year old Warrior sticks with the Zetterberg curve. I got the x28 curve which is more towards the toe. Initially my shots were a high and left but within 15 minutes of shooting practice I was able to get it on target again.I really like the flex and the speed of the snap shots this stick provides. Noticeably faster than my previous stick.Update: After using this stick for a month I can't go back to my old stick. When I stick handle in my garage with my old stick (I don't want to ruin my new stick on the rough cement) my old stick feels so heavy and slow.Also I've got a much better (faster & more accurate) slap shot with this stick. I love the flex and whip it has.Update: Still using this stick after 8 months, it is by far my most favorite stick I have ever owned in 40 years of hockey. I've never seen such a difference in sticks before. Snap shots are much faster and more accurate than my old stick. I'm buying another as a back up.

Wanted to try a new (more affordable) stick with my blade pattern. I got the 75 flex and it was very responsive and comparable to my Bauer Nexus stick. The flex might be a bit lower than 75 as it seemed to be a bit softer at the end of a game than regular stick. I ordered an 85 to see if that will be more suitable for my game. The blade pattern was a match and the impregnated rough finish allowed me to not use any tape for traction. This took some time to get used to as the first shot went about 10 feet wide on the strong side. I believe the traction will reduce the more I use it.

Found STX from another player, and swapped to the 3.1 series. Those were great, but the hand/curve/flex combo was missing. Went with the stiffer version before biting the bullet and getting the 3 series with the right flex, and the difference was immediate. I'm not going back, that's for sure! Light, strong, great snapshot or slapshot, amazing feel for the puck. Buying another for backup!

This stick came up on amazon when I was looking for something else but I decided to click on it and check it out, thank god I did. Purchased the 45 flex junior with the 28 curve. $80 total shipped to my door, easily the best hockey stick decision I've ever made. Immediately this stick became my favorite in my lineup. I will compare this stick with a 40 flex bauer sync P88, 40 flex ccm trigger 6 pro P90TM, and two sticks I recently bought direct from an Asian supplier; one a Junior 50 flex P92 curve and an Intermediate 50 flex P92 curve.STX height:Heel to end of shaft; 52 inches.Toe to end of shaft; 58 inchesWeight (from my scale not websites listed weights) (with tape on handle and blade for all sticks):STX - 341 gramsChinese JR - 337 gramsChinese INT - 358 gramsTrigger 6 pro - 344 gramsSync - 346 gramsSTX - the pure grip on the under side of the shaft really is awesome. One of the issues I've had with a lot of junior sticks is the height of the blades being much smaller and therefore having the puck bounce right over them. I measured the height of this STX blade and the height of P90TM (which is designed with a max height feature) and they were basically the exact same. I then compared it to a P28 curve that I had on an Easton stealth cx st stick and the curve is identical but the STX blade was significantly higher which is again a great thing.Overall I am a big fan of all of the sticks that I have but this STX stick is easily the stick I reach for the most and for $80 shipped to your door, it is the greatest stick deal I've ever come across including finding a deal on sideline swap. This stick is easily as good as the other top of the line sticks and in all honestly I personally like it more.

Picture shows the RX3.1 but it’s an RX3 as the listing says. Fast shipping and the stick is amazing compared to what I’m replacing. Tempted to buy another.Haven’t used it yet (tomorrow night) but it’s as light as a sheet of paper and feels exactly as described. Was shipped and arrived exactly on time.

Reacts very nicely. I've owned three of these so far - each one lasted about as long as one should expect. I've grown attached to the lacrosse-style shaft.
