DeBeer Envy vs. Impulse ???

[livelovelax]

I currently use the DeBeer Apex and I love it. I'm looking for another stick though and I can't decide between the Envy or Impulse. I hear pro's and con's about the Envy and I'm just not sure. Two of my friends had the Apex and switched to the Envy, one loves it and the other switched back to her Apex...

What do yall think?

go with the apex, i have a tempest but since they stopped making those ive thrown around with friends, tried out the apex and its pretty similar, its all about whether you like the weight or not, sometimes the balence is shifted and ppl dont like it as much

She's not talking about the Apex. She can't decide on whether or not she should get the Envy or the Impulse. ;)

get the impulse cuz a lot of people dont like the envy. you might like it, but if you find out that you hate it after you play with it, it might be a waste of money. the impulse has god ball control and a pretty decent shot too. i play with a tempest and i actually like the impulse a lot as my second stick

ENVY. ENVY. ENVY.

It's sort of heavy, but worth it.


EDIT:


Actually, I take this back.
It's about preference.
One thing about envy. With it my shot speed is 51 without it, it is 62.
It's heavy. And it was my first stick once I learned how to catch. But it's so big. My birthday is coming out in like 3 months, possibly I'll ask for a new stick then.

i got an envy, tried it out and HATED it. but then recently i actually took the time to fully break it in, and now i love it! try a broken-in impulse and envy, and see which one you like better! the envy is pretty controversial, so i'd def try it before you buy it, however the impulse is a pretty safe choice. all personal preference.

my friend has an envy and my other friend has an amonte
i guess the envy is pretty good but if you're looking for speed
envy is not the one i'd go for. it's heavier and takes time to get used to.
the amonte, however, is similar but much lighter because they use less
plastic to make it. i mean they both cost alot so instead of just wasting your money on
an expensive stick that doesnt work with your playing, try them out.
i would go for the amonte

Everyone has different likings when it comes to different heads. The best thing you can do is to find each head and mess around with both of them. Get what you're most comfortable with, or even just stick with the Apex. If you love it, there's really no need to change it. Remember, it's not the stick that's going to make you good...
