Totally agree. I liked the Sherwood 7000 or 7030 (can't remember) sticks, but the blades broke after 2-3 games.
Other wood sticks got wet at the bottom of the blade causing them to break down. The feel of the stick changed until it broke. I really like the consistency of my one-piece.
When I got my Easton Stealth, I did have problems taking passes at first. Got used to it, though. I do think the 100 flex may be stiffer than I need. My wrists hurt after taking slapshots at stick time a couple of weeks ago.
