I don't buy retail anymore and order all my sticks from PROSTOCKHOCKEYSTICKS.COM Great sticks, more curve choices and NO TARRIFFS!! I'm sorry but for the quality of the sticks that you're getting today for these insane prices and the lack of curve options. You cant go wrong.

Let’s look at the last few years: FT5 Pro (2022) – $330 FT6 Pro (2023) – $349.99 (+6.1%) FT7 Pro (2024) – $359.99 (+2.9%) FT8 Pro (2025) – $389.99 (+8.3%) That’s a total increase of 18.2% over 3 years, averaging about 6% per year — completely in line with normal tech product price cycles and inflation, not trade policy. Meanwhile, tariffs on imported hockey sticks or composite materials haven’t significantly changed since at least 2022. If tariffs were to blame, we’d see sudden price jumps, not this kind of predictable, annual increase. The real drivers? R&D and material upgrades (lighter sticks, better kick points) Branding and pro endorsement value Standard inflation and cost of business increases CCM (and Bauer) are using a value-based pricing model — they charge more because people are willing to pay it. It’s more like buying the new iPhone every year than it is about government tariffs.
