LH 85 flex P92 mid kick 375g tactile grip +2inch (68 inch)

I got a +2" extended height 85 flex P92 RPG Pro a few weeks ago and have used it in 6 ice times so far. The blade is visibly a little bit thicker (more material/thicker core) than any other stick I've used recently and has a much more responsive feel than any of the other "budget" brand sticks at a similar price point. Many other sticks trying to compete at this price point feel too blade light, have a dead blade feeling to them, and the blades go soft quick (had some noticably soft before the 6-game mark that this one is at). Many of the direct competitors really only have a light weight going for them. The RPG Pro also appears that it will hold it's blade stiffness longer, in part due to the thickness, and clearly has better tech going into improving puck feel.

The stick has a comfortable weight to it at 375 grams - not too fragile feeling and not heavy -- a good sweetspot. It also has raised textured grip all over the shaft, which is a common pro stock feature nowadays, and a nice touch.

Taggs had some good reviews on YouTube and Reddit - definitely more praise about the performance than I've seen other new/smaller brands get - which ultimately swayed me to giving it a try. I have to agree with the praise. You'd be hard pressed to get a better feeling stick that regularly sells for $185 (taxes in) and there are no immediate signs that it will break down quickly. It actually has a high-end all around feel to it between puck feel, pop, weight, and the textured grip rather than just being a product with gimmicky tech that chases a low weight number
