Jakub Vrana with the new RBZ stick

I thought they split from Taylormade so they couldn't make them anymore?

[jared9356 39]

I could see them reintroducing the CL line. Especially with Bauer releasing the 1X Lite.

Too bad they’re moving away from the white colorways.

I believe so, but I don't know the new line name. Jetspeed, maybe.

[nutters 216]

Jetspeed it is!

 

[EBondo 232]

Wow. I'm shocked they're debuting it this early, considering the FT1, ST2.0 and T2.0 pretty much just came out within the last couple of months.

Even still, what a beautiful-looking stick.

[Jason 65]

So there's going to be a Jetspeed and an FT1? That's a little confusing. Is the Jetspeed replacing the FT1?

[JR Boucicaut 3759]

No. FT1 is in stores now. It launched (quietly) a couple of months ago. 

Wasn’t received well.  That’s why you haven’t seen a marketing push around it. Jetspeed is the way forward for them. 

[start_today 757]

People seem pretty underwhelmed by the FT1, and the initial Super Tacks got panned for blade durability issues.  CCM had quite the resurgence and was everyone's darlings for a bit. Hopefully they can right the ship. 

[Jason 65]

I see the RBZ FT1 on their website. Is there anywhere that a person can read about the features of the new Jetspeed stick?

[EBondo 232]

Being it's a mid-2018 release...not yet.

[Jason 65]

I see.

[FlyChicaga 21]

I have the RBZ380, and I personally really like it. I'm anxious to see the specs on the new Jetspeed line. I have not used the FT1, but here's to hoping they'll start popping up for cheap online...

[215BroadStBullies610 434]

I hope that whatever CCM's issue is/are, that they are addressed sooner than later. I know I stopped using CCM sticks because of the blade's longevity. Not sure if that is why the FT1 wasn't received well. Regardless, the market needs healthy competition. Looking for better things from CCM down the road.

[JR Boucicaut 3759]

ST 2.0 has been holding up pretty well from what I've seen.  

The FT1 was not received well because the Revolution didn't do well, and there wasn't much of a difference between those two sticks. Also, both the 2.0 and T2 use Sigmatex and the FT1 does not.  

[215BroadStBullies610 434]

I see. Thanks for the clarification. I'm always willing to go back because I liked how their sticks felt. Not a bad idea to try out one of the newer sticks they offer...

Does warrior use a different Jenpro? Theirs always looks glossy and I think that’s what makes them look goofy to me.

and has anyone heard of the EB2 SPIDER hockey stick/ever used one?

Heard of it, Pavel Barber did a review on it, on his YouTube channel about a week ago.

Looks like Zuc finally ditched his Easton sticks.  Has been using the new Vapor last two games and taping his blade white. 

[chippa13 1844]

That and $2 gets you a cup of coffee.

[Jason 65]

I see more Zuc updates on here than anything these days.

[Lookey2000 5]

I still honestly don't understand why CCM discontinued the vector helmet line, so many pros still use it it's crazy! It would be awesome if CCM brought back the shell but put the new tacks liner in it!

Goalies look like Transformers now. I say go back to the days of pretzel masks and deer hair!

I found this the other day and laughed so hard at how tiny he looks.

Back when goalies had to rely on positioning and reflexes, as opposed to being 6'6" with giant equipment.  I'm waiting for some GM to figure out he can just strap the pads on a Yokozuna that just blocks the whole net.
