The small edge you get with a composite stick isn't worth the 'breakability' factor. Unless you are a well-paid pro, they're too expensive too. Nothing wrong with a wood stick.

I'm a goaltender who also plays out/coaches on occasion. In goal I like to use composite, at least for now. Comparing the life of my current composite stick(Reebok, 7months and counting) to my past wooden stick (Nike Bauer, 5 months and almost in pieces). Composite is also much lighter, which I find nice. The price is also just about the same, to be honest. All somewhere near $100US. My only complaint about the composite is now a piece apparently chipped off inside and it rattles occasionally. Playing out...I wouldn't mind a composite stick, but they're not in my budget. I can run to Dick's Sporting Goods and buy a wooden stick for less than $20US and that will last me quite a while. The biggest problem I see with composite is price and chipping/breaking. Financially, I think going with wooden is much more beneficial.

I prefer wood sticks, composite are just so easy to break.

Actually now i like wood sticks..other types of sticks are weightless and it feels weird to hold them and handle the puck with them

If you are a beginner, i would suggest a wood stick, as you get better i would go to a composite one
