He loves this stick, I just wish it'd last a bit longer... He'll, his 7 y/o sister snapped her APX within 2 months.... Though our sample is small, maybe just bad luck with the snap... Both his cracked in the blade....

Every single kid we know that had an APX has broken it. 13 year old kids, and one of those was a pretty small 13!
Since my kid broke his, around New Years I think, he has used a Stealth RS, and he claims he likes it better than the APX, not quite as lightweight but it's close.
At the final night of tryouts last night, a boy broke his RS. Ironically he was the reason my kid ended up with an RS in the first place. This other boy hated the non-grip RS so his dad sold it to us for 70 bucks and bought him one with grip. He broke that sucker almost in half last night.
I laughed at/with the dad for a few, but he wasn't quite as amused as I was. My kid will probably break his next week!
RS and APX are virtually the same price, but for what we've seen, the RS holds up a little better.
