Composite Blade
how do i know if a stick is composite?
hi i got this stick (http://www.amazon.com/Easton-Synergy-Hoc... at canadiantire because it was only 19.99. the store person there told me that it was a composite shaft with an abs blade. however, i am having my doubts if it is a Composite blade (because of such a cheap price). just wondering if any of you guys have the stick and know whether its composite or not.
the stick is somewhat easier to flex than a "wooden" stick with the same flex number as it. but it isnt at all lighter than my other wooden sticks
btw - it says its a multilam stick is that composite
You should just be able to feel the difference. Composite sticks feel like plastic basically, and wood sticks feel like the paint or fiberglass cover that is put on them.
At 20 bucks, it was probably a wood stick. I know that there is an Easton Synergy stick with an ABS blade out there. The link doesn't work for me, but it is a blue stick with a black blade (says 'ABS' on the shaft)?
Also, in order to have an ABS blade with a composite shaft, there would have to be a joint. If you can see an obvious joint between the shaft and blade, its composite

Experimental blade research
A 34-meter long blade has been subjected to every form of twisting, turning, pulling, wearing and tearing imaginable. This has led to the development of a completely new test method for improving blade structures and blade design, which combines the loads acting on the blade.
