Superior but not cost effective

Performance: It's far superior to tape when its new and fresh, very crisp sauces, sticky receiving, quicker and more accurate shots and an overall better feel for the puck. Quick towel wipe and its like a fresh tape job every shift. Longevity: Been using a few free ones I got for about 2 months now. They will last based on your level of play. 1st one lasted about a month with the stick I use for (coaching, lessons, drop ins) but when used for more competitive play, "A" beer league, they lasted anywhere between 1-4 games, so it may not be worth the price if you play competitive travel/high school or higher. Pros/Cons- A pro would be no coverage on the bottom of the blade, allows for quicker side to side stick handling, no resistance that normal tape and wax would give you. It also doesn't absorb water which will keep your stick lighter rather than tape absorbing water. Con- No coverage on the toe which we all know starts chipping away over time. Also if it does get a bad cut it does start coming off the blade. The ultimate CON would be the pricing, if you are unfortunate enough to get cut then you're paying $15 a game. Compare that to a now $5 roll of tape plus wax.
