1 tournament, 2 practices broken stick

We were hopeful that the new Bauer $300 sticks were durable, my 130lbs skater with a clean history of taking good care of his sticks broke this after less than 2 weeks of use. His friend purchased the same stick and his broke after 3 weeks of use... not good signs for a new product. No warranty on the replacement so we will see. Bauer needs to stop looking to take weight out of their top of the line products and focus on quality. 2X Pro breezers and gloves last just a few months before components fail. And lets not ignore price points... last years 2X Pro skates were $1,000... now the Hyperlites are $100 more with carbonlite blades... Bauer is owned by a VC firm... when is enough profit enough?
