Oh sick. Going to grab some when they come in stock in Canada. I have the A6 shaft and it feels like it lost it's kick. In terms of durability, I'm glad I'm not the only one who had issues with the blade breaking at the hosel. It either broke at the hosel within the first 2 games -- first shot even.. or it was a tank and lasted more than any other blade I've used.

I love the True 6.0 combo and I've used the first gen tapered and the 2nd gen standard combo (because they stopped making tapered). The first gen blades were good and lasted me a few months at least but the 2nd gen is ridiculous. I must have broken over 10 all in the same spot as the first poster. I just keep going back because there's no other option -- yeah Base is out there but they don't have a free shipping option, costs more, it takes like 6 weeks to finally get one blade, and it goes soft really fast.

Yeah I saw this curve before. Would be interesting to try

Yeah this is what i mentioned in the previous page. I'd be interested in trying this as well. Tried the P28 and liked it for everything.. except shooting. Currently using the bm19 (sakic) from base and liking it. or the Laine prostock -- looks like a tweaked P92 but read about it and sounds interesting. http://www.iltasanomat.fi/sm-liiga/art-2000000869204.html http://m.iltalehti.fi/smliiga/2016042121452664_sm.shtml?orig_ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.fi%2F *would be easy to market for base

Harrow sports used to carry the ovie pro but it looks like they're done with hockey now. +1 and I'm liking the combo so far. I seem to get the most life out of base blades -- almost 4x other blades I've used. I wonder what curve Base is working on.. it seems like it has been a while since they released a new custom curve. I'm hoping for the Jamie Benn pro -- from what I've read, it's a hybrid of the P28 and P92

Are there any new curves in the works at base? Also what's the difference between BM19 and BC92? On the website it looks like BM19 is longer.. is that it?

I got a Kovalev blade and mine looks like that as well.

request: Bauer's P08 or Kessel Pro. I would put in a preorder if these became available.

I've been using some replica sticks labelled as P28 but just found out they were actually P08 sticks. That being said.. I tried True P28, Base Malkin Pro, and the Base BC10 and it's not the same.. BC 10 is straight and just has a crazy toe while the P08 is like a wedge with an open toe.. not as much of a hook like the Crazy Ovie Harrow has either. I'm using a P28 now and it's just not the same as the P08 I fell in love with.. let me know if you found something similar.

Yeah it's hard to tell from the pictures on the site unless they have a blog feature with better photos. See if you have a base location near you and ask a rep if you can take a look at. The hossa pro they have for example... the photos don't do it justice. When you see it in person, the curve is pretty intense.

Is there a base equivalent of Phil Kessel prostock? It looks like a heel curve with an open toe.

Wow what curve is this? This is exactly what I've been looking for but RH.. a wedge with a toe.

I just got a pair of old 9950 gloves from a friend and came here to check what their new line of gloves are and I'm surprised (and glad) they still make the 9950s. They feel a lot better than the other gloves I've tried (one90/tps r8)

damn.. no Yzerman or Gaborik composite blades =(

Hey from your experience using them, what's your favorite salming OPS? I got a chance to see some of them from mark and I remember he had some orange, green, and white ones -- I can't remember the model names *doh* .

Any updated impressions on the Synergy II blade? I'm trying to decide if I should wait for epuck to get more warriors or just get the synergy II.

What's the weight on the tf10 shafts? And are there any shops in Toronto that carry the gloves? The PG1s look sweet but I'm not sure what size I should get.

I wonder if they'll have anything at the clearance center.

Yeah, I'm going to check out the xn10 and if it's as good as everyone is saying it is, I'll pick one up and try to sell the ST. '06 ST Grip in the Forsberg shouldn't be hard to sell.

Nice find.. now I'm regretting buying the Synergy ST yesterday =(

Any news on when the R2 Armor will be out?

Product: Easton Stealth Sr Grip - Gaborik curve - 100 flex Background: 5'11" 210 lbs -- stick used for tier 3-4 ball hockey. Flex: It was my first time using a OPS so it took a few games to get used to the low kickpoint (I thought my stick was broken the first time I tried to take a one-timer) but after I got used to it, I instantly fell in love. The ball just flies off my stick and it's the best stick I've used for wristers. On a side note: the 100 flex on my Stealth feels more whippy than an 85 on an Easton ultra-lite/z-bubble/etc. Blade/Curve: The Gaborik is listed os a round toe but mine looks more square than round. The curve is a DEEP mid curve with a closed/slightly open face. I had problems with keeping my shots low and controlled but with this curve, my shots go exactly where I want it to go. It is a deep curve but I have no problems with backhanders (either dumping it out of my zone with a backhand or roofing it on the goalie). It feels great stickhandling because it's so easy to cup the ball. Shooting: As I said earlier, this stick is great for shooting and the 100 flex seemed just perfect for me. Weight/Balance: 400g.. nuff said. Conclusion: I've been using this stick for around 6 months now playing in 30-40 league games and close to 50 recreational games. I take a lot of wristers and occasionally take a slapper. I love this stick and I'd definately buy this stick again. 9.5/10 (-.5 for the blade starting to chip in the toe area after 2-3 months of use -- but I guess that's normal if you're using it on dry arenas and it was easily fixed with some tape in that area)
