Easton's V-Series sticks have been completely redesigned around the correct shooting technique focusing on puck position, blade angle and energy transfer. When shooting the puck, it all comes down to velocity. The V5E stick achieves this velocity with new technology. The Hypertoe deals with puck position. Positioning the puck on the toe forces you to load the blade and creates more shot velocity. This patent pending Hypertoe design combines a stiffened toe with a softened taper section to create more force with the same load. The elliptical taper profile functions similar to the Stealth model of sticks from years past. The grip coating enhances stick control when making quick moves. The blade construction features a segmented blade core to strengthen the blade for less flutter and more accurate shots. With a similar look to the V9E model, this stick will be sure to impress out on the ice!
