In no particular order my top 5..... CCM Ultra Tacks - my first truly great stick, silky smooth release. True Project X - still to this day my best shooter CCM Trigger 4 Pro - remarkable consistent CCM Jetspeed FT4 Pro - best weight, balance and feel CCM Jetspeed FT5 Pro - my current twig since 2023 (this and the FT 4 Pro), on my 3rd and 4th (with one more left to go) a fantastic all-around stick with one caveat, I like 'em better uncut. Everything above were cut down a couple inches. Honourable mentions - CCM Jetspeed FT2, CCM Trigger 3D, CCM Super Tacks 2.0 Biggest disappointment - CCM Trigger 2 PMT, CCM Trigger ASY, True A-Series 6.0 The one that got away - CCM Jetspeed 6 Pro (broke within 30 day warranty, returned but didn't replace as could no longer get my specs)

I personally don't think these reviews matter as people are going to buy it anyway due to some idiot influencer on YouTube who thinks EVERY new stick is the best or a Pro is using a stick with the latest graphics. I only know of one guy who does long term true reviews on YT and pays for most all of his own sticks because the big boys wont send him product due to crapping on their stuff at one point or another. Either way, parents are going to give in, buy the stick their kid wants and let him or her beat it to hell and do things with it that its not made to do because they want to be their kids friend and not their parent. Those of us on here, well, that's a great part of why we're all here. Simply to help and spread the word, good or bad. I can say that I have learned a lot from many of you over the years on this site.

The 34 is very straight through the heel. Angle and lighting of the pic makes it look more like the 92 but it doesn’t play like the 92.

I'm not the best to ask when it comes to lie. I used to be stuck on Easton 5 lie blades, basically Modano retail, Warrior Smyth, and Sher-Wood Coffey, but I hardly notice lie changes now. It took a little while to adjust to catching passes away from the body with P28, but I had no issues adjusting to the high lie on the Kane Pro when I had one.

I have the PRO 34 in the old 3rd line. Never liked the curve and it’s collecting dust at the moment but I might give it another chance on a new sport court rink that just reopened near me. Heel is flat with a curve at the toe and the blade shape is similar to the P28. attached is a picture (left to right)of the PRO34, P92 and PRO28

One of my teammates ordered one and regretted it. He's usually a P92 or P28 guy. He's got P28 and P28M from Pro now, and really likes them. I toyed around with it after he decided to shop it around to anyone who might take it off his hands. I thought it was alright. It was a little hard to get a great sense of because it was the super round shaft shape, which isn't as much my thing. I liked the straighter portion on the heel of the blade, but the toe shape wasn't really great for me. That might have changed if I tweaked the balance a bit.

Recent second hand pickups, dirt cheap. Barely used late-Easton Pro 4-rolls: Royal Blue 4500 bucket with Nike Bauer brandind, good condition. Gotta ensure that I don't have to switch to a different helmet ever!

This was an early xmas gift for myself. I picked up these gloves almost 2 years ago for around $20, the palms had some holes, loops were cut, and the gussets were disintegrating. I sent them to ITR hockey so he could work some magic, had him put some airknit gussets and AX Suede palms with a Kovy overlay, they feel awesome now.

prostockhockeysticks.com offers the P46. they call it the P4466. @stick9 is correct... that was my curve for years! I have moved to a P90TM. Honestly, there is nothing truly equivalent.

I've used almost all of them and IMO, the Bauer Vapor 1X is the best knee pad on the market (thanks to @Hills for the recommendation). Passau stays up the best, is the most stable, and is pretty protective, but they're huge and heavy and have very little padding in the landing area. With the Maltese insert to fix that they are even heavier and bulkier. Warriors have the most padding in the landing area and are pretty light. But all that padding is soft and leads to instability in the butterfly and the protection isn't great, especially in the "SR" version that comes with the pads. Plus, I found them impossible to keep from sliding down without both taping and wearing socks over. Maltese KTPs were pretty much terrible in every way, except possibly the comfort in landing. I'm not a fan of the design of Brian's knees (which are similar to the Supremes). They're too rigid and enclosed around the knee. The 1X's are the lightest (thanks to the Aerolite foam and Curv knee plate) and probably the second most protective behind the Passau (again thanks Curv). They stay up on their own pretty well but come with a garter that really holds them up without noticing it. They're pretty cushioned and comfortable while also being stable in the butterfly (inbewteen the Passau and Warrios on both those spectrums). And they aren't bulky or restrictive feeling at all.
