I've used Sher-Wood's my entire goalie life. In the past year I've had one 7000, three 5030's, six 9950's, and right now I'm on the Itech GS Pro's, which are made by Sher-Wood.
The 5030s are by far your best bang for your buck. Durable, moderately light, and you can get them at Canadian Tire for like $60 if you're in a pinch for sticks. The curves leave much to be desired, though. Thibaults (mild heel curve) everywhere you look.
The 9950 is where it's at. I'll echo the previous poster who mentioned that they get springy in a hurry. They are a better stick than a 5030 but for a shorter period of time. I find that the heel section of a 9950 gets weak quicker than the 5030, and when it does it breaks quicker.
I find shooting far easier with the 9950, especially if you get it with a mid curve (like a Weekes).
If you can get your hands on a set of Itech GS Pros, they are like a 9950 but seem a little more durable in the heel.
