Why did you switch from the P90tm? Which True stick are you using? And why do you like it better than the Jetspeed, FT Ghost, and/or Ribcor?

Yea they definitely get the curves and flexes and paint jobs right. My fear is that I’ve heard you’ll buy a ft6 pro or ft5 pro but really get a ft6/ft5 regular or team wrapped as a ft6 pro or ft5 pro. The build codes are so difficult to decode so I don’t blame them. Has this changed? Have you tried checking the codes and weighed your sticks you’ve purchased from HSM recently?

I use an 85-95 flex p90tm FT5 pro, FT6 pro, or FT ghost. I almost never see any RH available on prostockhockey or sideline swap and I’ve heard that HSMs are often wrapped lower models unless you get one of their NHL prostocks. I’m building up the acceptance that I’ll be happier just buying 6 custom 90 flex p90tm FT Ghosts and letting those last me almost 2 years. It’s pretty much my dream stick (best blade, best kick point, best shaft shape for me)

If you don’t want to go the custom route, it’s not a max height blade, but the 95 flex will still be available in a regular p28 fwiw.

Thanks for the response! Sorry it wasn’t clear! I meant I’ve used multiple different sticks at various flex points. 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105. 90 was my favorite and then 95. Can’t get 90 at retail so have been using 95 since I fell in love with the FT3. 95 flex CCMs are 2 inches longer than the 85 flex. I cut them to the same height as the 85 flex. Agree the p90tm is the greatest curve ever made and wish it was more widely available too. Also wish sellers knew the difference between the three as well lol! Appreciate you sharing your opinion. The consensus seems to be to drop the flex and keep the curve and that’s what I’m gonna do.

Thanks! I’m a righty unfortunately.

Thanks! I’m leaning towards getting one 85 flex p90tm and trying it and if it’s too whippy I’ll bite the bullet and do a custom order and resell what I don’t use if the ft7 is an improvement on the ft6 like the ft6 is supposed to be on the ft5.

Thanks for the reply! I don’t want to spend that kind of money as I generally only need 2 sticks in a year and even with a stick that has durability issues like the FT3 pro, I “only” went through 4. Outside of a custom order, would you recommend going with the 95 flex p28 or 85 flex p90tm given all the information in my previous posts on this thread?

Thanks for the reply! I am 99% positive as it’s confirmed in the CCM 2023 release book and I double confirmed it with my LHS owner who speaks with the MN CCM rep regularly. I think I’d be better off ordering the minimum 6 custom sticks given the difficulty of finding a bunch of 95 flex P90TM FT5 pro’s at this point. Not many left out there. However, I don’t want to spend that kind of money as I generally only need 2 sticks in a year and even with a stick that has durability issues like the FT3 pro, I “only” went through 4. Also, apparently CCM resolved whatever material issues they were having due to covid and the FT6 pro feels like the FT3 pro and the FT3 pro was so much better than the FT4 pro and FT5 pro. I’d go as far to say that the FT3 pro was maybe my favorite stick I’ve ever used despite the durability. Given all this, I think getting a couple FT6 pro’s makes the most sense to me. Just have to figure out if it should be 95 flex p28 or 85 flex p90tm.

Thanks for the reply! I’ve tried multiple flex points all the way down to 70 flex and I feel I have way more control receiving passes, making passes, and stick-handling with the higher flex. I also find it better for poke checks and puck battles. On the other hand, I’ve never found a curve I like as much as the P90TM. CCM has created quite the dilemma for me. Would love more opinions/suggestions from others - I have a week until it’s released haha!

I just learned the FT6 Pro will not be released at retail in a 95 flex and P90TM curve. The 95 flex is only being released in the P28 and P29. I’ve been using a 95 flex P90TM Jetspeed since it’s release with the FT3. Am I better off getting a 95 flex P28 or an 85 flex P90TM? My gut says 95 flex P28 but I figured it was worth asking the MSH community their thoughts. I’m about 6’1.5” tall and weigh about 215lbs. I cut the 95 flex to the height of the 85 flex. Thanks in advance for any and all replies!

Because I like the top of the line Jetspeed and don’t want to order 6 at once. As far as I’ve been told by my lhs I can’t get just 2. Having said that, I would love to order it in a 90 flex and with a ribcor blade….
