    I think you're saying they same thing with different words.
  2. ParabolicActivity
    I think you're spot on.

    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.

    I love the Easton being included here! Is that the next Ribcor in the mix there????

    Nick I dont think any player would skate one something he felt less than 100% about. Im not sure if you play or not but that skates are hands down the most important piece of equipment, no matters what level you are at.

    I am a bit partial here but that set up is HOT!
  7. ParabolicActivity
    That's fair. I am just saying 1 NHL player is massive compared to 0 NHL players.

    Nick are you saying Kronwall is saying "well fuck it. I'm old. My best skating is behind me. Let me just rock this prototype for no reason"???
  9. ParabolicActivity
    Pics?

    If there is a player in the NHL using this technology, there is definitely something there. Kronwall isn't trying something out during NHL games. No one is fucking around during an NHL game. As far as I can tell STX still hasn't even gotten their "PureGrip" shaft to the NHL. I would definitely say that seeing #55 wear them took me from being a doubter to someone who would experiment with it for sure if it was affordable for me.

    Oh so this is how the P10 will be "available".
  12. ParabolicActivity
    Astronomy is super expensive! Hockey has been my cheaper alternative 😄

    It is a pro stock pattern. Similar to a P92, but definitely not a P92.
  14. ParabolicActivity
    What? The Drury is a heel wedge. The P28 is a toe cup. I really don't see where they relate too each other. I have both and IMO they're both curve for players with very refined technique, but not similar technique at all.

    What are the chances of sending people a molding kit and letting people create their own custom blade?
  16. ParabolicActivity
    It seems Kronwall used them on 9/22. I have no more info than a post on HFB.
  17. ParabolicActivity
    Yeah that's a fuck no.

    Base and STX aren't comparable. I was halfway through a thread here about "Base Hockey sticks" before I realized the discussion was about a brand and not low end models. STX on the other hand is a strongly established brand known for quality. Anyone who has ever walked into a sports store has seen STX gear. They literally took lacrosse from being an ultra niche sport to having more registered lacrosse players than hockey players in the USA. I know that and I've never played 1 minute of lacrosse. Base is cool but STX is huge.

    It may be worth bringing up doing the build your own stick thing a lot of direct sales smaller companies offer. If you were selling a truely top tier customizable stick for under $200 I have a feeling I would be seeing them all over. A Surgeon with a P38 like blade and a lie 4.5. Sick!!!! Call up your boys, let's do this.
  20. ParabolicActivity
    STX is a very established lacrosse brand. They have a reputation in the industry. Base is cool but their brand is not similar to STX. I do love their site though.
  21. ParabolicActivity
    You would think selling direct they could offer more curves because they don't have to produce massive amounts of rach curve. Maybe a consideration for future generations. As much as a lot of what STX is doing feels weird, it could turn out pretty sweet too. We all love going to the LHS and I hate when they struggle, but at the same time more direct sales could totally change how gear is bought. Maybe when you go to buy a stick you could have a ton of patterns and lie's to choose from. Or custom fitting more gear than just skates. Or even just simply lower cost.
  22. ParabolicActivity
    Because they made you experience Baltimore or because they are selling direct?
  23. ParabolicActivity
    The RX2 kick point was the shit IMO. Truely variable. I would be super excited to see what has changed on the RX3 but no X9 curve. We will see what the deal is with custom sticks but I would say it is very unlikely I purchase any more STX sticks. I still have one in each price point of the RX2 though so I really don't need one anyway.
  24. ParabolicActivity
    There was a discussion on another site a few months back where someone was talking about the astounding asking price of getting one of those guys to mention a new sock they were producing. I am sure STX can pay it and I am equally sure it will pay off. The thing is that they sold a lot of RX2 sticks by people just picking them up in the store. There's now I got my first one. I picked it up and went 'oh wow'. The new pricing helps quite a bit but we all know hockey players are weird about new stuff. So they will want in depth videos. As an aside, does anyone know if the PureGrip shaft has ever been used in the NHL? I have watched several different rounds of clips of guys with RX2s and all the NHL guys seem to be using normal dimensions.
  25. ParabolicActivity
    Yeah. They're going to need to find reputable folks to give sticks out to for the sake of videos. I know Coach Jeremy and Pavel Barber charge like a trillion dollars just to mention a product but I am sure it pays off.
