Despite the original Mako stick having launched in April, Easton is already preparing for the launch of the Easton Mako 2 stick. The Easton Mako 2 hockey stick will feature some structural changes over the 2012 model, as well as an updated paint job. The new graphics will align the Mako 2 stick more closely with the Easton Mako skates.
The Easton Mako 2 stick is all about quick hands, and getting the puck on net quickly. According the Easton, the Mako 2 stick was “completely redesigned to improve weight and balance.”
Easton will be using a lighter multi-ribbed blade on the Mako 2 stick, and has increased the stiffness and durability of the blade as well. The uni-carbon shaft will use one directional fibers to provide greater strength and less weight. The smooth surface also creates a tighter layer which will enhance energy transfer. Finally, Easton has used a textured shaft on the Mako 2 providing a contoured feel for the palms and fingers.
Keep an eye out for the new Easton Mako 2 stick to hit retail stores in 2013. Don’t forget to leave your thoughts on the Mako 2 in the comments. Will you be picking one of these up? Do you think it will be a great improvement over the original Mako?
