Let us know how he likes it. I was a Bauer stick user for years but wasn't getting the performance I thought I should be. I figured I would change it up a bit and bought the Trigger 3D when it came out and that was that. The following year I got the Trigger 4, and now the Trigger 5.

P92 and equivalent curves I find very easy to elevate the puck. Even more so on a P28. If you can find a P88 curve to mess around with I bet you'll get what you want out of the low and hard placement. I too am very fond of the P92 curve and found it hard to elevate with the P88, but the P88 excelled at pass accuracy and low corners - for me anyways - everyone is different.

CCM AS1 skates. I blew my tax return on a pair a little over a year ago. Before then I never had a pair of skates worth more than $300. I love their comfort and the energy transfer of a one piece boot is amazing.

I'm a low kick fan and right now my go to stick is the Trigger 4 but I recently purchased a retail FT2 on sideline swap to just play around with it and compare. I liked what I felt from it. CCM did a good job on the hybrid kick point as I feel the stick performed pretty well in all categories. The quick release wasn't as good as the Trigger but it was definitely manageable. Heavy wrist shots and slap shots come off really nice. Light weight, great blade feel, good balance, I was impressed and are keeping it as a backup twig.

If you are liking the P19 as it is a good all-around curve, try out the P29 from CCM or the P92 from Bauer. Those curves would also be a TC2 or TC2-5. Really accurate shot, accurate passing and great sauce. But there is a lot more to it than just the curve. I think as caveman mentioned above, a little more information would be helpful like your flex. What is your height and weight and what type of shot do you most typically take?

That is a trigger based on the concave lower shaft, all trigger shaft constructions will have that. The only way to tell WHICH trigger it is would be by the sticker label that would have been at the very top of the stick before it was cut and or under that knob tape. M is the factory it was made, 75 flex, T is the shaft type (traditional shaft) and the E# is the player ID and V01 is for version 1. I have seen some Triggers dressed as other sticks but it is more common for a Tacks stick to be manufactured with a low kick point, which would have an LK on it.
