Easton reinvented our understanding of hockey sticks when it released the Synergy back in 2001 as the first ever, true composite stick. Since then, the Synergy has continued to draw rave reviews. The HTX plays particularly stiff thanks mostly to its Hypertuned construction which keeps the stick’s blade as stiff as the stick’s shaft. It’s blade, with Hypertoe technology, offers a similar feel and is designed for players who rely heavily on their stick’s toe for loading and sniping shots.
The Synergy HTX stick offers a lot of similar characteristics that Easton loyalists will be familiar with from past sticks from the Synergy line. This includes a classic shaft shape, an overall well-balanced stick, and a strong blade. The strength of the blade is a big plus on this twig, as it does a great job of dampening hard passes and improving puck control while being firm on shot releases. The flex through the shaft is fairly evenly distributed, versus having one localized kick point.
