  1. Wrong usage word - Custom..as in..me ordering directly from the factory..not me going to my LHS and getting them to order for me.
  2. Got rid of my Vapor X skates and custom ordered some Vector 6'0s
  3. No, your wrong. My x70's don't say XP on them. do you have the older ones that say "X-factor" or prostock ones? my prostock X70's didnt have the XP on them. Nope, no x-factor or prostock. Ordered from the factory via Players Bench..just straight up x70's.
  4. No, your wrong. My x70's don't say XP on them.
  5. yep yep, i love the all the breaks in the fingers.. sooooo niice :) Where did you purchase them? And are they navy and silver? *drool...
  6. CWAS - Are those Oakley gloves I see? They have to be the most comfy gloves I've ever worn. A buddy of mine has black/white/red Oakleys. whbd - Not at all, I'm a mid-guy.
  7. How could you forget SOPEL? For me, in order to have the flowing hair the player must play without a helmet. With the helmet, it is more like streamers poking out of the bottom of the helmet(e.g. Jagr, Sopel, Ricci). That's the point. Even with a helmet on, Sopel's hair will flow out the back and sides.
  8. Shorty... I think your stick collection comes up a little short of ponty's. Anyways, I'm liking the Canadian flag behind the sticks.! :)
  9. In my dreams man :( They're actually only Sundog Golf shades. They look pretty nice..I guess, but the quality is skeptical. The lens' pop out easily. The nice Roots touque disguises them I guess <_<
  10. CWAS..your skates are unreal.
  11. Might happen in 06 when the sticks are more publicized and a higher percent of the population has them and would be a successful product on the market. EDIT: What the hell? How do i see the curves in a lefty version?
  12. I did just fine this early fall and found it quite easily. Although TPS' 75 does seem quit whippy.
  13. Is "stick-um" a self explanatory word? -- Something you sticky you put on your hockey stick to change the colour?

    Bauer Vapor XX

    Product: Vapor XX, Flex 52, Curve P88 (Lindros) My Stats: 5’1 105 lbs. 7th year playing. Blade: At first I thought the blade was going to snap. It felt really weak and not reliable. Later on in the season I’ve gotten use to the blade and has lived up to be strong. At the rounded end, I had some cosmetic blemishes and a chip or too which makes it semi-difficult to do anything with the last inch of blade. Most likely the best blade I’ve ever used. 9.5/10 Shaft/Flex: I’ve always used a whippy stick and comparing my Synergy to Vapor XX I could feel quite a difference even though it was only 2 flex differences. The lesser flex has given me more power in my slap shot although it disagrees with my curve. The shaft is rounded to my liking but chips are imminent to it. The grip I don’t really like because I find it too sticky, I prefer the Easton old grip much better than this one. 8/10 Stickhandling/receiving passes: Stickhandling with this stick is quite different from other sticks I’ve used. The blade is much thinker, therefore giving a much different feel. The weight is also a factor. It’s advertised as 325g, no way it is that. That however is the only negative against the stickhandling. Receiving passes has became quite easy. Because of the strength in the blade and if I cushion the pass it’s an unbelievable feeling. 9/10 Shooting: My wrist shots are coming off way cleaner, however that’s where the good news ends. First of all, snapshots are all fluttery and have no power or saucerness to them. Slap shots are fine but not my strength as I have in my Synergy. Shooting disappointed me with this stick. 7.5/10 Weight/balance: 325 grams? No way. My stick is not that light, my Synergy at 330 is lighter. It’s quite heavy and that’s what I dislike the most about the stick. Balance of stick is quite good. No complaints there. 8/10 Durability: This stick in my opinion is the most durable on the market. After about half of a season with it only a few marks here and there. What concerns me most though is that it will snap if something nails it really hard. The blade has held up better than the shaft surprisingly. When I bought this stick I wasn’t sure about the durability but this stick proved to be well designed. 10/10 Conclusion: This stick is the second best one piece I have purchased next to my 02 Synergy. I got the stick for $160 Canadian and thought it was a good buy. I’m pretty sure I’d like the stick more with a P71 curve and without the grip. Great time expressing myself in this review, its my first one. Overall 8.7/10
