Hi MSH - tried finding a post on this but couldn’t… I’ve always really liked the CCM Team LK (low kick) sticks, from the Super Tack versions, to Jetspeed and Ribcor graphics. Even the current retail Team sticks which as far as I can tell are basically the same with slight “upgrades” (blade texture, shaft shape). Anyway, I think I figured out why I like the Team builds so much… can anyone validate this, are the Team sticks simply the old Reebok 20k sticks with new graphics and slight upgrades? I used to love that 20k stick which is probably why I like the Team sticks… The specs and tech descriptions are basically identical and if you look at pictures of them, they look like the same build too. CCM Trigger 7 Team: my current go to over all my top end sticks: pretty much every latest CCM generation top stick, hyperlite, flylite, Nexus 2NPROXL, Warrior Alpha LX/DX Pro’s, etc. Weird that I chose this over all them I know… I also know this isn’t prostock but I use it for the E geometry where my LK pro stocks are more R or square shaped. But the pro stock and retail builds seem identical other than that. https://www.icewarehouse.com/CCM_Ribcor_Team_7_Grip/descpage-RT7T.html Reebok: https://www.purehockey.com/product/reebok-20k-sickick-4-composite-stick-senior/itm/10253-41/ Curious to hear anyone’s thoughts or opinions. Agree or disagree?

Is there a noticeable difference in performance between the G63 / red and yellow lines? Aside from the weight differences, which I guess isn’t really much between the G63 and yellow line

Call me crazy but I like the sound of the pro28/fisher/pasta curve. I’ve always wanted a bit more toe and openness on the retail p28… roof that thing that much easier for the cookies. Yummy.

Whoops didn’t see this before my last post. Guess that answers it! Agree with QC though one of my 70’s felt easily like an 80+ flex. But a 95 flex would be a big disappointment after that long wait.

What a money shot. They all look pretty much the same to me. Wonder what the actual difference Geppetto was referring to is… Can you tell at all or so they play the same? I’ve always wanted to try a true fisher curve which apparently the pasta pro28 is.

edit: Could someone post a picture of the pro28 pasta/fisher curve vs a ccm/Bauer p28? I was speaking to Geppetto and he said the pro28 is a bit different than retail p28’s so I’d be curious to see how?

Interesting on the third line sticks. The extra weight is fine, it’s not even that much compared to most top tier sticks (20-30 grams more). Like I said in my post, I like my ccm team sticks better than some top tier sticks, they just feel smooth! I suspect it would be similar with these then given the build technique. In fact my ccm trigger 7 team stick is my go to right now over my Jetspeeds, flylites, hyperlites, 2NPROXL’s, super tacks and Pro’s… weird I know I just like the team sticks 🤷🏼‍♂️ Oh wow, that stiff?! I do like an easy loading stick, it sounds like you have to put a lot into that then? blades are stiff but still have good puck feel and imo are actually unique but in a good way. Maybe not as stiff as a flylite, but close yet they have better puck feel… maybe similar to maybe trigger… my thoughts

I’m a fan of my red line builds, have 3 with the Laine curve, mid kick, 70 flex. I also have most top of the line sticks and echo what people have said, they definitely are in the same category performance wise. I won’t rate them against each other because sticks are all personal preference in the end. Ie) I actually like my CCM team pro stocks over some top of the line sticks. Which brings me to my point, anyone have experience with the Third Line? Debating getting one just because I love that generation of CCM’s (tacks 2.0). Also, has anyone tried the g63 build? Would love to order that too but no idea what that would play like… thanks!
