The TPS Response Vintage player stick pairs a mid-kick VCX3 flex point with loading intended to stay smooth from shaft to blade and produce quick shots. Its integrated composite blade uses a TRU3 core insert to broaden the sweet spot, limit heel vibration for shot accuracy, and provide balanced feel and control.
At a nice discount to top-end or even 2nd tier sticks (i.e. non-"Pro" models), this feels like a very well made "Team" stick (better though, IMO) with great pop and solid construction. Through several skates it has held up well, blade remains stiff, no stress on shaft, etc. Add in the nostalgic factor for those who remember the TPS glory days, and it's an unbeatable twig. 5/5 stars! Pros: Lightweight, Durable.
I loved this stick years ago and was so excited to see it again. the Stick might look like the old ones but it sure feels as good as any stick i have felt today. give it a try Pros: Lightweight, Versatile, Durable.
