The document compares Easton's new Stealth S17 hockey stick to competitors' sticks. It shows that the S17 has several technological advantages over similar sticks from Bauer, CCM, and RBK, including a compression molded shaft with Kevlar wrapping for impact resistance, an elliptical shaft profile for better control, and a multi-rib blade design for controlled flex. Test results indicate the S17 has better torsional stiffness and energy transfer compared to leading competitive sticks.
