Really hope this new suspension frame comes out soon! Long time sprung user here - I recently replaced all the arms from another set I had as back up, but now every other game a red spring part between the arms is crumbling mid game? Anybody had this issue? I ordered extras off sideline swap and those are going one by one not sure what to do. I’m 6’4” 230lbs and haven’t had this issue since using sprungs starting in 2014 - maybe the materials in these parts are dated now? Not looking to go back to rigid frame/R1 😬

It's being headed up by the Canadian distributor for Louisville Baseball & Softball, amongst other brands. For those that don't know, Sherwood only owned a license of the TPS HOCKEY brand from Hillerich & Bradsby, who years later, sold out to the Chinese company that owns many other brands, including Wilson, DiMarini. Before that, however, the "TPS Hockey" brand did not survive for whatever reason, whether it was insolvent or license not renewed, I don't know.

The fact that the big box stores immediately try to push aftermarket insoles with every skate sale points to this. They used to be an aftermarket solution for certain problems, now they are hyped as a must have.

With all due respect this is a crazy take haha. My dolomites feel like a weighted rubber training stick and they are severely bottom heavy compared to todays sticks, along with the synergy from 2 decades ago. They blade and shaft torque open and you feel it. I would say there is definitely tech that has improved the stick game, maybe the lightness of todays sticks hasn't "improved" the stick game per say, but the release/balance/power of these sticks compared to the latter is two different worlds in my opinion
