  1. 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.
  2. I would say this is a big part of it too. Being new here feels like walking into a room full of old friends and trying to participate in the conversation. Which it essentially is.
  3. I use old threads here for a resource all of the time but I almost never say anything here because the vibe is super negative. Im excited about new gear. I love talking about it. But every thread here turns into inane off topic bickering. It's such a bummer. The old stuff is great though. I wasn't here for it but I see why you would miss how it used to be here.
  4. So what are these claims about making history?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Or maybe they calculate that Ribcor is going to sell and make their most at risk line their team stick.
  9. CCM does seem to be pushing Jetspeed very hard. I never understood why they don't dress the LK team sticks as Ribcor.
  10. As of last year, he used a ST2.0 dressed as the orginal ST.
  11. 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.
  12. I noticed William Nylander has the Supreme ADV graphics on his stick yesterday. Is he actually using that model or is it just a wrap to promote the stick?
  13. Nice work man. I just wanted to make sure you were fully appreciated.
  14. Credit goes to u/McLarenLT @ r/hockeyplayers.
  15. Is the stache CCM? When are they releasing that?
  16. I think you're saying they same thing with different words.
  17. https://youtu.be/0iShXwu4sU4 In the first few moments of this video of Biz and Whit with Cosby and MacKinnon, you can see a retail version of the new Ribcor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the concave shaft geometry is a thing of the past.
  18. I love the Easton being included here! Is that the next Ribcor in the mix there????
