Easton Hockey, the designer and manufacturer of the No. 1 stick in the NHL, has introduced the Stealth ™ S17 stick.
The S17 is touted as the most technologically advanced stick on the market. Already, NHL superstars such as Ottawa’s Dany Heatley, Minnesota’s Marian Gaborik and Anaheim’s Ryan Getzlaf enjoying the new Easton technology.
With the Stealth S17, Easton has produced the first elliptical design in the industry, according to Ned Goldsmith, vice president of Easton Hockey.
“There is no other stick like this in the world,” said Goldsmith. “As soon as you pick it up you can tell it is something special – not only because of the phenomenal balance, but because of the totally unique shape through the elliptical section. We can hardly make them fast enough.”
The Easton Stealth S17 focuses on three main qualities vital to every hockey shot: energy, velocity and accuracy. The compression molded process used in constructing the Stealth S17 delivers the most consistent shaft in hockey, maximizing the energy transfer from your hands to the blade and thereby providing a more powerful shot.
In addition, the innovative new TORX™ technology displays an Elliptical Profile (patent pending) to assist in transfering torque from your hands to the blade for remarkable velocity. Easton’s patented Micro-Bladder process and Multi-Rib structure control blade flex throughout puck contact ensuring pin-point accuracy.
Dany Heatley has this to say about the Easton Stealth S17:
“If I could hit a one foot corner of the net on a one timer before, I can hit a 6” corner now… I’ve never been more accurate or shot harder. I love it.”
