When the LK is in small font it is a retail stick. When it is large, it's a pro stock team stick. It'll only show up small as a PS is there is a player's name and is a part of the specs below
Easton EQ50 weights or whatever to adjust the balance.
Ultrasonic taper, considering they nixed the Supreme line.
Also a 1 and done was the detachable wrist guards on the Sherwood Code V elbow pads. Most useless, instrusive thing ever. As a concept, it made sense.
Lastly,
That's the business now. True pays Pavel BOREber to skate around midget c players. Bauer pays nasher to skate on his ankles, OTB trying too hard to be funny wearing bauer, zach smell bouncing around an orange ball, and paying cat von cage in his fake league to like bauer goalie stuff. CCM promotes coach jeremy giving crappy tips.
Easier to use views for promotion nowadays than getting pros to promote your stuff.
Perhaps AK made the most profitable offer to the cheese toast league.
Because that is the reason most for profit businesses base their decisions on, like the NHL will do when the adidas deal is up.
iirc warrior killed the dynasty line because focus groups and pros were moving away from slapshots and wanted a versatile stick with a quick release, which a true mid-kick couldn't provide.
warrior is like ea sports....
Nothing like thread over thread of people asking if buying elite skates and sticks are necessary for learn to play clinics.
And it is insane how good advice gets ignored or downvoted because it's not what the OP wanted to hear.
I have to say I like what CCM is doing with their stick releases. Roll out a full line of sticks at every price point then only Elite level the following line. People who are willing to pay $350+ (or $250+ on sale) usually play high level hockey and have greater stick turnover. Opposed to people who buy entry or mid level who hand on to sticks longer.
Oh for sure and unfortunate, but it still doesn't change STX's being better. Even, the Ribcor shaft is better than the Nexus one. However, that's another convo
