2013-2014 Sticks

[Stewie 721]

My fave warrior grip is the velvet on the diablo se I have

Not sure what else there is to say. It continues the Nexon's line of low kick-point sticks, which is mentioned, while having the smaller, rounded shaft similar to the Nexon more so than what the T series is.

I saw a Nexon in store last week (never seen one before). Wow, what a weird shaft shape. Very round! This may work for me as I prefer shaft dimensions of an intermediate stick but probably shouldn't be using a 65 flex ;)

Tempted to try an EK15. Do they have anything close to a CCM Landeskog?

PP01 Smith is similar I think. It's Sher-Wood's toe curve.

Not even close. Landeskog isnt a toe curve at all.

[Stryker 37]

Not even close. Landeskog isnt a toe curve at all.

I don't think they have anything that's a clone to that. I guess a Stastny would be closest, though that may be a stretch

[Stewie 721]

How far is the Coffey away?

[IPv6Freely 2082]

I think the PP9 or PP19 would be close enough (they look identical to me?). I've only been using the CCM Landeskog for about a month anyway, so I'm not completely against it being similar but not exact. Looks like Ice Warehouse only has the PP26 initially.

[A2rhino 62]

The PP9 is a heel wedge. Far from a mid curve.

That is correct, PP09 is similar to Bauer's Richards curve or Warrior's Vanek.

[chippa13 1844]

Pretty sure the closest Sherwood offering to the Landeskog is going to be the Coffey.

[Stewie 721]

That was my thinking too. I'm not very familiar with the landeskog though

[chippa13 1844]

Think Mylec street hockey curve.

[A2rhino 62]

Think Mylec street hockey curve.

Like the old Easton Yzerman?

[MrData 93]

Not even close. Landeskog isnt a toe curve at all.

If it's close to Reebok Bergeron and Bauer Toews, it's a mid-toe.

[Michael9 57]

Smith is more of a toe. It's the same as the Gionta if that helps.

[IPv6Freely 2082]

Yea I'm just basing my comments on the blade charts and diagrams. I've never even looked at Sherwood before so hard to make comparisons.

I don't really want a toe curve at all. I was just trying to compare the CCM diagram to the Sherwood diagrams. I've always hated blade diagrams for this reason, they're hard to get a feeling for what the curve is actually like based on the diagram alone.

I've been using the landeskog for a month now and like it. It's a pretty mild curve, which I like. Not a fan of big ridiculous toe curves or banana curves.

It's because they take pictures from different angles and distances away from the blade, there is no such thing as a standard position. If you look at your curve from directly above (as some charts have it), versus from parallel to the shaft (as others) versus, say an arbitrary intermediate point between the two positions at an arbitrary distance away, your curve looks drastically different.

[IPv6Freely 2082]

Yea you pretty much have to see them in person to really compare. I guess I'll have to make a trip to Hockeymonkey soon.

[chippa13 1844]

Landeskog is a mild curve? I'd hate to see what a big curve is to you.

[icewalker_bg 126]

Agreed. The p46 is one of the biggest curves out there, id say the Coffey and the p46 are up there on the retail level.

[IPv6Freely 2082]

I genuinely don't know what to tell you guys. It sure doesn't seem all that big when I'm using it.

(Landeskog on the left, Tavares on the right)

But either way, it's still not even remotely close to the PP01 Smith toe curve.

I think it would match the PP88 the most if it was the same lie (which it isnt), so it appears to be closest to PP09.

[icewalker_bg 126]

Eh. Even in your pics you can see that curve is huge. It doesnt even come close to the Ryan curve if you ask me, which is cross between a Drury/Vanek id say. And no, the pp88/Kane is a small/different curve compared to the p46. I have a pp88 right in front of me, I can post a pic if you'd like.

[Stewie 721]

the p88 is a smaller curve than the landeskog. I think the landeskog is one of the deepest retail curves available, which is why i havent used it. I still think its closest sherwood curve would be the coffey but my knowledge on these curves is limited because they are both deep so ive avoided them.

Walked into a local retailer with my son yesterday we were looking at getting him a back-up stick to his NXG. We were looking at various sticks and picked up another NXG and commented on how light it was, at that particular moment one of the floor guys comes up to us and says "hey you wan to try the lightest stick in the whole store......Ill show to you ....but you won't like it"

Shortly there after the guy hands over the Sherwood Rekker EK15 to us with a smile on his face. I see the Sherwood logo and instinctively cringe a little....and then I picked up the stick....holy crap!! Fortunately I am not the one who has to use it but my son was equally impressed and you know how kids can be when it comes to brand names. As luck would have it, the lie is the same as his current NXG and we were able to find a comparable curve so we decided to buy it. The boy decides to try the stick during the warm-up to test it out. It wasn't until half way through the game that I realized he was using the Sherwood. Bottom line is that he loves the stick

Do yourself a favour and at least check it out. It's about 30-40% cheaper than other high end sticks and you are not sacrificing any quality or features. This could be the stick that helps resurrect the Sherwood brand in hockey...and if that happens, we probably won't see the same pricing in subsequent stick revisions. Good work Sherwood.

Okay, a couple questions...

Why did he think you wouldn't like it and how did you purchase one already? I didn't think they were set to release until Nov. 1st.
