Easton Hockey is preparing to launch the new Easton Mako hockey stick in April, 2012. The Easton Mako stick will fall in the Synergy line of sticks, and is expected to carry a few new features. Among the new elements rumored are a new shaft, a new handle, and a new blade. According to the photo below, the new Easton Mako stick will have Easton’s proprietary woven Kevlar/Graphite shaft, a non-skid blade coating, a micro-bladder blade process, multi-rib blade construction, and a matte non-grip coating. The Easton Mako is expected to retail for $229.99.
Visually, the Easton Mako design is starting to grow on me. The black shaft with grey Easton graphics looks nice but the fade to white in the lower half of the shaft, along with the white blade, are a bit unique. The lower half of the design is a bit reminiscent of the Easton S19 Pure which was released last year. It’s widely known that a lot of pro’s will spray paint the lower portion of their stick black, but there are some that paint it white too. The black paint and tape will help to hide the puck on a shooter’s blade, while the white shaft and blade will make the stick itself, especially in the flex zone, blend in with the ice. The different options will have varying effects on different goalies, but it definitely looks like Easton is trying to give any advantage it can to the player’s with their sticks.
Take a look at the Easton Mako stick below and let us know your thoughts!
what is the difference between the two sticks?
The M5 is going to be a lower price point stick, likely under $200
i know write wich is better
how much do you think the mako will be
It will cost $229.99
looks a little different for easton
Will this stick be similar to the se16 or eq50 because it doesnt look like it has the eliptical shaft like the s19 or RS. I am currently using an RS, which will the MAKO be most like? (flex point/shaft/feel). Thanks
uglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
how much money will the easton mako cost in junior and when will it be realeased in stores
or indtermideite
what will the weight of the stick be approximately?
Mako is most similar to SE16, EQ50 feel. Mako M5 is the ST replacement.
how much will the mako cost for Junior? and when is it expected to be released?
I saw Corey Perry of the Anaheim Ducks using this stick during practic last week. He seemed a bit frustrated with it.
I have played a kid with this stick and it looks like it is wooden.
Will this stick be stronger than the s19
will there be more colors than this cause i dont mind buying in april if there is more colors than this?
This stick better have a better blade then the rs because at the end of the rs lade sucks
how much will an intermidiate Mako cost?
this stick better not have the same blade as the rs
JUST BROKE MY RS CANT WAIT TO GET THIS
how light will it be??
why does the rs blade suck so much
talking with my friends, it appears the mako is like the “evolution” of the easton synergy, taking it to the next level. basically it looks like the stick is like a white synergy so it blends with the ice. if the rink is really bright/white like the staples center, it can be a real threat. i personally spray paint my sticks white on the bottom and the mako will really fake out some goalies.
are they going to come out with a new rs in october?
probably not. they dont come out with new sticks every year.
i take that back. easton debuts different stuff every year but dont expect them to come out with a new rs stick.
holy sh*t that fails
can u make it’s price lower
that is a good stick. I like it. I wish I could buy it but I have no $$$$$$$$$
I got $90 not enough isn’t i
come donate $ to crash@yahoo.com if u have a heart
yea
the stick debuts on march 9 http://eastonhockey.com/makostick/
i want this stick but im not sure what curve to get i use a tavares in the ccm sticks does anyone know the curve for easton?
S19 is the best Easton stick in the world I have the rs the shaft is way to skinny and it’s not a square shape plus they break really easily this stick will be the exact same as the rs and the white on the bottom does nothing it’s just for the look!
ya ur right s19 is better than any stick in easton the rs sucks and so will this
well i take that back rs is good but the blade is bad and i dont know about the mako i like the stealth series
wait but did u say mat the price is 229.99 in senior
how much in junior
matt do u know how much the mako will be in junior
i think that this stick is awesome but the easton blades are way to thin and they break so easily
when is it comming out
is the mako already out
yeah rs blade sucks so much i went through 4 rs in a month and all broke on my blade im on # 6 now hope its not the same blade!
Does the Mako have the eliptical profile?
Easton sticks are way behind. Bauer has by far the best sticks money can buy. No doubt about it. If you want to buy an Easton, save your money and go to your local hardware store and buy a 2 by 4 cause that’s what they feel like on the ice. No feel.
not really jonesie and where can i get it
?
I’ve seen the new model of the RS, it is no different then the one that is out now, there is just more yellow on it.
I use the Mako. A ton better then RS. A lot better then i thought it was gonna be.
Where is the flexpoint?
why is it’s price expected so low ?? (229.99$) is it suppose to be a mid line stick or it’s just easton trying to build sticks at the lowest possible price ?
U can pre order the stick at hockeymonkey.com
yes. I was on it and it says you can pre-order the Easton Mako
I have a question for everybody:
what stick willl be best between APX ,MAKO ,NEXUS 1000
