Bought a new True 6.0 goalie stick for sons Christmas--new product, new manufacturer. Goalie Monkey delivered fast as customary, son loved stick--until it shattered just below the handle mid-first-period of his first start. Not a place a stick should break, not under pressure, clear manufacture defect. Goalie Monkey deferred responsibility to True, True stated their warranty was from time of purchase, not actual use (shame about that 'keeping it wrapped for Christmas' tradition, hmmm), no one wanted to man up behind their product. We are out $150+... but Goalie Monkey (and True) have shown us their character and are permanently out customers. Recommend finding a vendor who will stand up when needed; they have proven they are not that.
