    Can anyone verify these wildly unrealistic deals that are too good to be true? The misspelled spam email I got felt kinda dicey, but I don’t think you’re allowed to lie on the internet. 

    I have some money to burn. Just made a sweet deal with a disposed Nigerian prince, and he’s about to wire me a bunch of money now that he has all of my banking info. 

    They had us in the first half not gunna lie.

    Do companies like No Name and ABHS use these companies?

    Yes.

    From my experience with the S19, the ellipse lets you get more power out of a low kick stick where traditionally low kick sticks sacrificed power for quickness of release.

    Unfortunately the trade off is a more blade-heavy stick. I don’t see why the ellipse would be more blade heavy but it probably has to do with the way they have to layer the carbon fiber in order to make that portion of the stick stronger (so they probably put more carbon fiber in there).

    What exactly is the difference between the P28 and the Fisher Pro curve? 

    Fisher Pro is supposed to have a more gradual curve to it starting at the heel whereas the P28 is pretty straight until about 1/3rd of the way from the heel then it starts to curve.

    I've actually noticed the same thing. I must focus much more in shooting with low-kicks, but with mid-kicks I can just use pure strenght to get a some kind of shot off everytime.  But in the other hand, just look how Patrik Laine shoots with his low-kick stick. Of course the technique is perfect, but there is A TON of torque behind that shot and I think the stick does exactly what Laine wants. I think he uses 87 flex and the stick is very long. Still he manages to shoot 100 mph slappers...But yeah, his technique is very unique.

    I'm not even convinced Laine uses a low-kick stick. His namebar in pictures just says "TEST-A" on his build code. There were rumors floating around when he signed with Bauer that Bauer made a custom build for him that played like the Warrior he was using in the IIHF. I believe this is true because CCM made Ovi a custom flex profile unique from any of the ones they offer to mimic his Bauer G3 sticks.

    I thought the Nexus line has always been a mid-kick even back to the N1000 days? The only time Bauer made a variable kick stick (like the Jetspeed is today) was with the Vapor APX/APX2.

    At any rate, from what I've read on various forums, the most popular kick point in the NHL is mid-kick then low-kick. Reasoning that's been thrown out there is that with low-kicks, if you're a stronger shooter you can "overpower" the kick point and your shot won't be as powerful because the puck is released before all the energy from the shot can be transferred to it, so with a mid-kick you sacrifice quick release, which is made up for at the pro level with a more powerful e.g. faster shot. And pros have such perfect shooting mechanics that they can get off a quick shot from anywhere anyway.
