- using the BEST stick from 20 years ago in 2023...
Today we use the first ever one piece stick, the EASTON SYNERGY! This stick changed the game as we know it today. My favorite hockey player growing up was Marty St. Louis and he used this stick for years. Does it still hold up?!

The hosel isn’t painted like the original. The weave is different. Easton made the synergy a low kick and these are nexus sticks dressed like a synergy. So mid kick, mid grade, not that cool. If they brought back the original graphics and paint, I’d buy one for nostalgia. My favorite synergy was the gold grip. 85flex Forsberg curve.
The silver was the original one. I was playing minor hockey when it came out
I love your guys drills. They all are a lot of puck work and shooting drills great for stick reviews
I knew this was coming awesome video Trew Crew
yes...
i love watching a junior level hockey player with a shhhht shot testing out sticks. even when this kid shoots with his normal stick...the puck still fluttters. time to develope a real shot...fella
Such a great idea
Nice! Though, back in the day I preferred the silver one 😃
still have one , Sakic
holy i just found ur channel and i thought u would have at least 1 mil hella underated keep it up
I bought one in 2002 or so to play in a mens league... played about 10 games and stuck it in a corner... now my son plays hockey and I coach... brought it to practice and a couple other coaches were going nuts about it... had no idea it was even desirable honestly... so first thing I had to do after practice was search for CZcams videos of coarse lol... I like it but I use it as a backup stick... I like the grip on the new sticks... my Easton doesn't have any grip whatsoever... also can really rip a clapper with the new style sticks that cost a billion and a half dollars lol
So good!
So is it the throwback that you just purchased or is it an original that you found laying around? You keep saying that it's 20 years old.
Hey Brody you get Ccm ribcor tigger 8 pro sitck review please 😢
Such an icon… this could be a fun series ngl… some iconic sticks out there… the Reebok with multiple holes in the s19 the s17 even haha killed it early 00s
Yeah all the kids with rich parents on my teams immediately went out and got their kids the silver Synergy. It was pretty unheard of at the time cost-wise. Sticks are astronomical now but they have kind of bumped along at like gradual increases over the last 20 years. In those days, I think composites were like $120, which is probably about $150-160 in today’s money. But you have to remember most people were using shafts and wood blades. Which was probably more like an $80 setup.
Shoutout to anyone who had the Bauer XXX Lite a few years later. Stick was amazing but it broke like a twig.
Top Cheddar with this thing goes crazy
I had that stick. No joke, my first shift with it. I was taking the puck off the Zamboni doors. The tip of the blade got stuck in the doors and snapped the blade in half.
I still have the original one that I bought back then and it was also the yellow one. I believe Mission came out around the same time but it was the Synergy stick series that totally revolutionized the way sticks are now built: light and powerful. I remembered this because it was my first stick after having wooden sticks for so long. FYI, the original stick weighed in at 450 grams
Haha, crazy how far sticks have come!
they were shit sticks...espwcially the 85 flex..
it folds under pressure and is flimsy when taking hard passes.
@@kYA00h nope. Not compared to wooden sticks or aluminum ones. Not even close.
@@owenatori dont care what you compare them to..theyre still a shhht stick. only good part was the replaceable blades. save more money than todays twigs!!
@@kYA00h you're talking about 20 years ago when the technology wasn't the same back then. And please put together a sentence that actually makes sense.
This and the OG stealth and s17 stealth were the sticks of my childhood. The s17 still holds up even by todays standards. That stick was truly ahead of its time. Watching this hit me right in the nostalgia. Can’t wait for mine to get here so I can relive my pre-wee days
Haha the OG Stealth might to this day be the coolest stick ever made. It was insanely expensive for its time and it had zero durability.
@@WestwoodPizzaCo. My buddy I played AAA with that ended up going D1 at Air Force used the Stealth in 50 flex as a 5'10 180lb defenseman. He could absolutely crank it but also broke an absurd amount of sticks. Luckily his parents were very successful because I don't even want to think about his stick bill that season lol
I would love to get one of these… but for $200 and it not being the OG syns I can’t justify it. Great video regardless 👏
I know it’s been said, but it’s not the OG. I have 16 OG synergies and stealth’s in my collection and use them in beer league. One of them is an unused OG pro stock sergi zubov silver synergy that I will never use.
I used to have a red synergy.
The intro was so awesome
I had the silver one. I think it was the Synergy SE. Bought a ton of them. Still to this day It holds up to some of the new ones
It’s not the same stick though. I got the silver one a year ago and it isn’t like the real one. Feels totally different, silver wasn’t a grip and the blade was half shaft color blended into black
It's a reskinned FlyLite
if you think that one has grip, see if you can get your hands on the orange one, the actual grip version. I'd love to have one for my wall lmao
That is sick i use to play with one of the people on your team!
I had a super shiny blue one and the square"ness of these are brutal lol .....oh it also had a replacement blade that had a weird curve on the shaft part🤦♂️
The old Easton was 3k carbon and this new one has a 15k shaft with a 3k blade so it’s not really the old stick
You're absolutely right. Its just one of their mid level sticks (likely supreme) with the yellow synergy graphics. These young bucks probably haven't ever held an OG synergy to know the difference lol
little kids needing that 85 flex to rip shots!!
😂
Liking that tj better than the full sock.
I've been using the same stick for twenty years 😂😂
Get the easton synergy that bauer released last year
Drop it Bro 🤣🤣🤣
One thing I’ve noticed in this videos is the way the kids in this league receive passes. It’s bizarre.
If you ever watch the older training videos Alex Kovalev used to for his brand AK27 the one thing he always says is your stick needs to be almost like a third arm. He also used a very short stick.
For you kids who don’t know who Alex Kovalev is, look him up. He was a Russian dangler like you read about. He didn’t have a very complete game but he had some of the best hands ever.
That yellow Easton stick thooo
Trew are you gonna ever use those custom sherwoods
When’s the rekker legend pro video coming? 👀
I have my orange one still!
Can you review the Warrior alpha lx2
Mine is already on its way. Can’t wait to have this baby once again in my hands
🙌🙌
I use a wood stick. My old autographed one broke in half when my son was testing it's flex. Little did he know that there were no flex in it. Wood shoots harder but is also harder to use since if you hit the ice the slightest on a slap shot it hurts. It's just physics and the conservation of energy in motion. A lot of flex eats up the energy and transforms it to heat. But are easier on your wrists. Also like a golf driver the heavier the club the harder the shot.
? slap shots did not hurt with wood unless you were using too long and too stiff of a stick. Hell I played with wood sticks through Jrs and College when everyone had switched over to 1pc and a few were still using graphite 2 pc. Nothing like $300 a dozen and never having a full on whiff shot with the net wide open when your 1pc breaks.
its funny you talk about the weight, remember that scene in mighty ducks when the guy had to hold the stick out to prove to coach his wrist was okay to play? lol try that with this stick. It was really common for hockey players around me to be doing wrist strengthening to make the sticks feel lighter.
That being said, I've gotta go pick up a new stick soon, I want something great for a Dman who likes to shoot and pass. do you have any review videos on sticks i should check out? dont wanna get fucked by a salesmen
Nobody did wrist strengthening to make a stick feel lighter....it was to strengthen your wrist since you shoot, stick handle, and in general use your wrists a lot. That is like saying guys did squats because there breezers were heavier then.
@@wcb5890 lol bud... I literally said that myself and guys around me did them, and I've played all over north America. Hes still calling a composite stick "heavy" its not a lumber piece. soo I'll say it again, I've watched players around me, with the mighty ducks scene in mind, making their wrists stronger, so they couldn't be benched because they couldn't hold up their stick after getting hacked. obviously the guys are still stick handling and shotting to improve their skills, and getting stronger but literally adding in reps of isometric stick holds to build the static strength after practice, adding rolls of tape ontop the ends of the sticks to increase the weight...
it all went away once the composites came out, and that scene wouldn't make any sense any more, what hockey player cant hold up a 500 gram stick lol
the first silver synergy was virtually indestructible. i remember they actually marketed it that it would last forever as well. its crazy how weak these new $400 sticks are these days.
Nah they were made out of graphite back then and the blades were much more prone to cracking and breaking then the carbon weaves that today's sticks have.
@@michaelpea35 the very first gen sticks were virtually indestructible. I remember they held up so well that Easton had to start removing layers of graphite to weaken them because they were pretty much everlasting sticks. The blade was always the first thing to go but you just cut it off and put a new blade in.
@@AC-wl7ve the first gen twigs had kevlar wraps along the blade/hosel which is why they were really durable. The first gen graphite replacement blades were the same way. Pay $60 for one and they would last a whole season, maybe even through 2-3 shafts breaking. It's all planned obsolescence now unfortunately.
Sheesh he can snipe with any generation
Left school for this vid
When will the Sherwood video drop???
what's up with the net behind the net?
Just recently got into a men’s league haven’t been on the ice in a decade. When I found out they don’t make Easton sticks anymore I got so upset 😢
I grabbed one yesterday for coaching lol
are they remaking these or something
Was that a Sherwood Rekker?7:44
For most rec hockey players, the stick weighs in at about 6,89% of the overall performance, and would be better off practicing with heavier sticks; sticks and gear is always awesome but improvements come from the fundamentals, not gear.
NO!!
everything is dependant on your gear and your social media space to talk about...your gear!
@@kYA00hsure, watching overweight rec players buy high-end sticks and skates to shave off 104 grams is a thing!
whens the warrior sticks getting a review
What helmet you use?
7:44 did guy just leak his next stick review
I’m significantly older than you, my kids are your age, but Nike had a pretty good one piece back in maybe 2002ish? That was everyone’s go to stick.
When I played juniors back in the late 90’s it was Sherwood wooden sticks and Montreal sticks with a few two piece stick
those were the days John Paul. Remember the Christian Puck Master replacement blades? Best ever made to this day, nearly indestructible with wicked curves on 'em. There was a reason why Brett Hull and Nick Lidstrom used those until the company stopped making them.
I still have my original silver ones. I was going to buy one this week for the rerelease until Bauer put that gay ass grip on them. The silver ones had no grip and it just ruins it.
I had a pro stock blacked out rubber synergy that I got from Mitchell from the wild. I was playing college lax at a D2 school in California and beer league out in town. Campus safety ended up busting a party in my athlete apartment and confiscated my bong and also my Easton pro stock Synergy. I understand the bong part but not the sick. I’m still mad.
i would be more upset about the bong!
How many games do you have a season.
kay wait did you use an OG syn bomb? or the new released one from bauer? cause if its the newly released stick, its just a dressed up Bauer. I dont know which model tho
The silver one was a nexus team stick, I just bought two of the yellow ones and I am not sure what it is. It definitely is not the OG version that is for certain, I am old enough to have used that one growing up. It's a solid beer league stick that will deal with faceoff abuse for sure.
@@ericcarlson3574 I was thinking of picking one up for beer league, how’s it feel on the ice ?
Can you review the alpha lx pro by warrior pls
They wouldn't ship the synergy to the UK, I can't find it on ebay either. If anyone has one for sale hit me up
That’s not the OG synergy, the Og was silver… had about 29 of them
And the orange one after that. The syn grip and all them were the deal though.
BRODY MF TREW!!!!
i use that stick its my dads old one😂
I have a an OG Easton synergy. The silver one.
Next you should try an old wood stick
he'll just complain about how he cant shoot with them..like its the sticks fault
@@kYA00h facts
guys its literally just a skinned pro stock stick, no kick point i believe just a regular flex to it. its cool n all but when the pro stocks with no warranty cost $189.99 CAD and the synergy costs $219.99 CAD, don't expect much
Isn’t that rostaslovs twig
9/10 for sty
bauer proto
i use a 110 flex..takes skill to rip shots!
not just leaning on it😂
Wow so strong
@@SevnZeroFiveyoure reading comprehension IS NOT strong!!!😂
i said "skill"...you know, TECHNIQUE..?????
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@SevnZeroFivecoach still ties your skates?
it is not from 20 years ago, its just a sync painted
Bro my cousin got it and he said it light
Football practice is a lot harder than hockey practice
Trew if you reply your going to the show
Is it heavy?
425g
can you get a hold of the recent re make of the Synergy?
Just went to a sport shop and got this for 20 dollars as my first stick
Smash
That is not an Easton Synergy
The stick is way to thick and heavy to stick handle by todays standards. Plus it’s way too shiny.
Find a real old one .....that one is a cheap stick from 23 not 00.
Well there’s the fact that it’s 20 years old and also just the fact that you’re bad at hockey. But good idea for the vid minus the whining
And you must be good eh? 😂
Yep which is why I chirped him for yappin. Kid is skilled but uses his time for this bullshit instead of the extra practice. Probably costed himself a shot at the show already.
@@user-kd3ym2gj8olol none of these kids in this league, and the next junior league higher up the NAHL are going to the show either. What does that matter though? If you don’t make it to the NHL you’re not good at hockey?
@@user-kd3ym2gj8ohe is 5’1 I think that hinders him more than his attitude or w/e
@@markst.martinii9635 That’s not even close to a true statement! I should have lifted a brother up instead of talking down. But the fact is we only have so much time. If our boy in the NA3 grinds for 3-5-7 years and beyond..? There’s absolutely no reason he wouldn’t get a look… and who knows hopefully this guy still does ☺️ just my opinions. All love
its %1900000000000 not the stick.. its the player
