The difference between the Easton Stealth CNT and the Easton Synergy Elite?
I have the Easton Synergy Elite grip and i just bought the Easton Stealth CNT grip but havent used it yet. whats the difference? should i just have bought another Elite? or should i have bought another stick?
The difference is found in the design and manufacturing process of the two sticks.
The Elite is a fused construction which means a blade element is bonded into a shaft with a permanent epoxy, thereby making it a 'one-piece'. In other words, if the permanent epoxy were replaced with a hotmelt glue, the stick would have been a two-piece.
The Stealth, however, is built in a uni-mold contruction, meaning the shaft and blade are not fused in a post-mold process, but rather cured in a mold together. This construction method is referred to as a 'true' one-piece process.
The advantage of the Stealth process is that the manufacturing method removes weight and material in the critical blade/shaft joint region. In addition to lower overall weight, benefits of this design can be found in the stick's balance and flex profile.
The absence of of a fused joint allows the shaft to flex in a truer, more constant fashion and is the one performance advantage you should quickly notice when shooting.
Having used both designs, my preference between the two was the Stealth. I felt passes were truer and my slap shot velocity was significantly greater with the Stealth while my snap shot release also felt purer.
My experience at the highest levels of play has been that while players did not reject one design for the other, most did have a preference of one over the other. With that said, I can promise that you won't be tragically disappointed with the Stealth and, in turn, you may actually be surprisingly pleased with it.
My advice would be to give the Stealth a go and see what you think. Worst case scenario, you decide the Elite was a little better for you and that drives your next purchase. Best case scenario, you fall in love with the Stealth and end up with a new favorite.
