Great Stick
Got the Rouge A and have played a few games with it already. They aren't joking when they say this thing has insane power on a big slap shot. It does take a lot to load it, but if you do, the puck flies off this thing! Took a clapper off of a one-timer from a pass from low to high and it almost took the goalies head off. I felt really bad, but accuracy wasn't quite dialed in yet.
The matte grip is nice, the stick has all the quality of a top tier stick. It is a tiny bit bottom heavy, but feels very solid all around. I think it is a bit much for roller hockey (which I play more often than ice), but I think I will really like this on ice where I take more point shots as a defenseman. In roller, I'm a bit more mobile and take a few more snap shots, where I felt it was a bit too much to load this stick for a quick snap shot. I will possibly buy the Dispatch to try out for roller to see if that has a nice quick release for that style of play.
Overall, can't go wrong at this price!
