I grabbed a sports radar this spring and have been very disappointed to find that flex has very little effect on the speed of my shot until it drops off from being too whippy. From 110 down to 85, it really seems to be hand speed more than anything else. The release feels very different, and my Ribcor Pro3 (85 flex, P02 curve) fires harder than any other by a few MPHs on a clapper, but overall the speed is the same. I was really hoping to see bigger differences considering how much time I've spent worrying about flex. So between 87 and 82, just go with what feels better. The actual effect on your shot is likely minimal. For reference, wristers come in at roughly 60-65 mph. No skates, with a shooting pad. So Im not exactly an expert on getting the most out of stick.

Can it hold up to a Marchand stomp?

So what are these claims about making history?

On today's 31 Thoughts pod they discussed the new ADV as having maybe the clisest blade feel to a wood stick yet. Did anyone else catch that segment? That along with the "slingshot" terminology being used, makes me wonder if there is more to it than just a hole in the blade.

Theyre not putting that out on retail are they?

I can't wrap my head around this one. Edit: And neither could Schenn apparently. I pulled up a shift he played late in the game and he was back to using the 2N Pro.

Scrolling Getty it looks like he changed sticks mid way through the game against VAN. That makes me guess it's less likely to be a wrap. I feel like a mid game switch is more likely to be grabbing something new put of frustration. But that's just a totally wild guess.

Well it could be a wrap.

Then what will the bulk option be?

Or maybe they calculate that Ribcor is going to sell and make their most at risk line their team stick.

Is this what Hronek uses?

CCM does seem to be pushing Jetspeed very hard. I never understood why they don't dress the LK team sticks as Ribcor.

Errr, am I an idiot or does it say FT2?

As of last year, he used a ST2.0 dressed as the orginal ST.

I think the P01 is completely straight until the toe hook. I can't even imagine what will come when kids develop on that type of blade. I hope they stick with it.
