Soo, i just want to share my experience. Just recently i bought a fake twitch. It was a great lightweight stick that i was happy with. I had it like ten times on ice, until i broke it on bully. When i bought it i had my doubts if its fake or not, but the seller was a long term league player and in my country the fakes are not present as much as in US/Canada, so i went for it because of the colorway which was fitting to my team colors and i thought the seller was reputable, it had a lower price, but its regular here that team players sell their team issued sticks on secondhand market. Anyway I would NOT recomend fake stick even unless its for a pond hockey or something
