Briggy what would you say are the differences and similarities of the XXX lite and stealth CNT? Which do you like better? I had two XXX lites, both broke but they were my absolute favorite sticks, and now i'm considering yet another XXX lite or a stealth CNT. Thanks for any help, and anyone else who has these two sticks feel free to jump in. :P
Well they are both two light composite sticks. I like the CNT Stealth better than the XXX Lite. As Top Shelf said, the shaft shapes are both different. XXX Lite being rounded while the Stealth being more concave and boxier. I prefer the Stealth due to its shaft shape and the curve(Iginla). If the CNT has your curve then I say give it a shot. If worst comes to worst just sell it here, im sure someone will take if off your hands if you dont care for it.

Nice gloves. Where did you get those easton pro mitts?
Panthers Equipment sale. Im thinking about selling the pair that has Easton written across the cuff. It also has digi palm.
-
Nice mitts, also like that XXX lite color scheme.
Well I just colored in the X's with a Metallic sharpie. It looks pretty good I think.

what gloves are you using now?I just picked up the Eastons and TPS for $25 each at the Panthers equipment sale. Im trying out all my options now looking for the best feeling glove. Like I said before I do have glove issues. And I appreciate everyones help on MSH for trying to ease my illness by taking the gloves off my hands. So far though the Easton pro returns are my favorite. Broken in, yet not worn down.

Its a fashion statement down here in Florida... Yeah ill have get some pics up later of my next game.

My new additions. And on the way might be some custom gloves...

hell i'm bored; here's what is worth taking pictures of:
Do all of those blades have the Whitney pattern? Also what curve is that inno?
-
hmmm what kind of Reponse is that? is that an XN10 or something different?I believe its a Larionov Response. Still a sweet stick none the less. I saw some kid at my roller rink using that same shaft and im a little curious as to how he obtained one.
-
420 flex? That shaft has gotta be whippy as crap...You bought the non-tapered one seen here right?
Hull soft grip?
Its not as whippy as I thought it would be and it felt very similar to a TPS Whip. I havent cut it yet so only time will tell and I will have to give it a thorough review on it later. And yes it is the Inno standard from that site.
-
Hey Briggy, where did you pick up that Inno 1100They were easy to deal with. The shipping arrived earlier than expected.
-
This is my favorite pieces of equipment. In the mail as we speak is a brand new Inno 1100 shaft in a 420 flex with an Inno McCarty blade.
Quick Update here is my new Inno, its grip is very nice and the McCarty curve is a tad bigger than the Easton Iginla.

my freind has one of those blue sticks he used it today in a roller drop in and he liked it alot.Would this "blue stick" be the Vapor VI? I know many people who use the Vapor VI and they love it. I like the weave of the blade and the grip texture on it is amazing.
-
i know i should probably search but ive been on here a while and havent heard much of the digi tech palm, is it like sandes pittards digital? i would imagine just from the name the digi tech palm is very thin. jr. since your not doing the custom orders anymore is there anywhere else i can get some?marcelo? all im really looking for is the same thing as markkus execept white where its yellow on his glove. also probably not with the digi tech palm i dont want anything thats going to wear out fast.Why not check out Marcello's sell section shown here:

No buddy, those were made for UCF or Olympic Heights High School. ;)

Reviewer: 6' 170 lbs, all defense
Curve: Tkachuk(Beast curve for snappers)
Intangibles: This blade had a nice look to it. The blade looked similiar to my Response Plus. All black blade with a graphic on the back, but if you tape it and take the tape off the image comes off with the tape.
Stiffness: The stiffness I cant complain about, it feels similiar to my Response Plus, and the blade is still strong and doesnt look like it is going soft any time soon. The curve is one of my favorites, so it didnt take anytime to adjust to it. The stiffness helped my accuracy a lot, and I feel it is infact stiffer than my Repsone. 10/10
Weight/Balance: When I put this blade in my Redlite XN10, the shaft couldnt be more well balanced. The only thing I did not like about this combo was that it was too light, but I am now getting use to it. 10/10
Stickhandling/Receiving Passes: Stickhandling is very nice. The blade has great feel to it, and I hardly have to take a peak down to see whats going on. Since I am getting used to the Tkachuk curve, I can pull off moves the same as any other. There isnt much different in passing with this blade. I feel it is identical to my Response, so I cant really say to much for that. 8/10
Shooting: When it comes to shooting I am glad a have this blade. The balance is amazing and when I take snappers they are much faster and more accurate than my Response Plus. I am having trouble taking slapshot with this combo, but I mainly take Snap shots. The main reason I continue to use this combo, is for the snappers. My snap shots are faster then some of the guys slappers in my league. It feels good knowing this...10/10
Durability: I havent had this blade for too long but, so far I have used this blade at three open hockey sessions and one evaluation and two practices. The blade is still strong and doesnt look like its going to become weak anytime soon.9/10
Conclusion: Overall this blade is excellent. I like how my snappers improve, but my slap shots suffer. This was my first TPS replacement blade and I am very impressed. The design is very nice and I will most likely pick up another.9.5/10

Nice shaft, the new Grip zone feature is awesome. My brother got a prostock Response Lite. Too bad his stick is left handed. I might just have to hack off the blade on that Response Lite...
