Yeah, they have renamed multiple pattterns several times over. But I guess the point I was trying to make is that P88 was around longer than PM9, and never had a name change.

I'm expecting it to. If Easton was able to rename their top pattern twice, so can Bauer.

Not to mention wide skates.

More popular than here. The mfrgs know what they are doing when they release shafts and 110 flex sticks over there and not here.

X01 isn't out yet, so everyone who has a portable has an X02. I think if you are doing 4 pr of skates a week, you're better suited for the X01. However, the FBV could catch on and you may be finding yourself doing more, so that's something to consider.

E-Pro won't be in stores til the spring anyway. Notice the E-Pro retail is the glove with the 4 rolls and the skinny cuff roll. I believe all custom gloves coming out of Canada now will have the E-Pro tag on it, but will come in all styles, including the SyNergy 800 style and whatever variation of Z-Air.

Guys, quit quoting pictures, PLEASE. I answered his question - it is a 10k that is made like a Vector. Simple answer.

I guess you would call it Reebok 10V Vector construction.

Judging by the fact that the shaft market is very slow in NA, no. If they wanted to release it here, they would've.

Next season, the new stick will be out at Pro by Training Camp

Flagship name, just like Sher-Wood Coffey.

New liner on the 4-Roll

Oh, scan-wise...thought you were dogging my review. I guess my scanner doesn't like the S11. Didn't realize I missed that page again.

Missed what? I'm merely highlighting what is new, S11 isn't new.

I agree with Peter - was not impressed one bit by the E-Pro. I'm not a dealer anymore, but my assumption is that the colorways in the E-Pro are MTO and prob have to be ordered at booking. Now, keep in mind that the custom glove will still be available, min 6.

I may have a set for ya.

None? OctoGun has similar features (bladder mold, same taper length) but not much after that.

It wasn't available for me to see it. I said I will comment on it when I go to Vegas.

Where exactly did I say the 10K shaft was the same as the 7K, because I'm not seeing that in my post. The 10k DOES replace the 7k in the lineup. And if you see my reviews, I tend to stay away from using technobabble and buzzwords. Yes. That skate has never done well for them anyway.

No, Octo Gun is a new stick.

Deluxe has nothing to do with grip and everything to do with shaft length. It is 6" longer from the normal. Stiffness, durability, but feel could be a tradeoff.

Developed internally. What people are forgetting is that the first innovation was the Spinner system - totally different method of dressing the sharpening wheel. Without Spinner, FBV wouldn't have been possible.

http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index...s&showcat=2 First off, I laughed my ass off when I got the catalogue. The disclaimer is hilarious. Sticks - Kronik gets an updated shaft - the Spyne tech has now moved to the shaft as well. Two distinctive scallops in the taper designed to prevent torquing. The Dolomite has been tweaked twice - the Dolomite Spyne has the Spyne blade with a high-density foam and textured trip. The Dolomite HD is the standard Dolomite however with the high-density blade and textured grip. The Hitman is new and falls in between the Dolomite and the Johnson, which will be in OPS form. Syko returns, but the Bentley comes in at the lowest point. Spyne also will come in blade form, in standard hosel. The Dolomite tapered will now come with the high-density blade. AK27 gets a new paintjob, with a velvety finish, standard shaft. The AK27 blade also has the high-density foam. Johnson shaft and blade are unchanged. Goal Sticks - Warrior acquired Montreal over the summer and will be offering three goal sticks - two composite sticks in the Fortress and Messiah as well as the tried-and-true Montreal hybrid, which will be named the Swagger. Gloves - Franchise is unchanged and remains the top-end glove. AK27 Pro features an all-nylon glove, with full sublimation graphics on the glove. Has a combination of foams in the glove, and has a moisture-wicking liner. Micronash palm and mesh gussets. AK27 is a down-spec'd version of the Pro. The Hitman replaces the Creeper in the line with an open cuff design and ergonomic features. Protective - Finally saw the protective in Vegas - came away VERY impressed. The Hustler shoulder pad features collapsible shoulder caps/bicep protection and it has high-density bumpers on the clavicle so that the caps don't come up and hit you on the side of the neck upon impact. The strapping system is actually two straps, which eliminates any slack in the strap/overlap in the material and allows you to dial in a perfect fit. I was able to put my arms over my head and the shoulder pad did not move one bit. It has raised HD inserts on the sternum area, and the vest is also segmented which gives you full range of motion. The shins are very low-profile and have a very comfortable neoprene wrap (which gets grippy when wet) which locks in the knee and a wide strap for the shin area. Vented and with the Silver Shield liner, the inner liner can be adjusted for depth which is a very neat feature. THe elbow is a dual-cap system with a flared top cuff that does not get caught up on the bicep pad on the shoulder pad. The elbow cup has a lip which prevents the pad from slipping, which is a very good feature. Neoprene middle strap is very comfortable, same material as on the shins. Definitely did their homework.

http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index...s&showcat=4 Sticks - No changes to the Stealth line, however, two lower-price-point sticks added in the SyNergy SE6 and SE2. SE16 shaft takes over for SE tapered shaft, with the Focus Weight Technology added to the shaft. The blade replaces SE, but same tech. P4 is Forsberg in catalogue but should be Zetterberg. P5 Lidstrom is now Getzlaf. Skates - Stealth line has been completely redone, starting with S17 - which comes with a new white felt tongue, new liner, different toecap and abrasion guard, as well as a lighter Elite runner. S12 has some of these features but with a microfiber liner and a bit more glass in the composite. Synergy skate line is tweaked at the high end, with the new cap and abrasion guard. SE16 will only come in white. Helmets - S17 and S9 are unchanged - S7 is the same shell, however, single-density VN. Gloves - Stealth glove line has been tweaked - some of the same features that were on the S15, however, a stretch palm/gussets, and a Pittards palm and double-nash in the wear areas. The E-Pro glove is a scaled down Custom Pro glove designed to compete with the NBH 4-Roll. SyNergy gloves are unchanged. Protective - The Motion girdle/pant combo has been tweaked a bit - beefier kidney/spine guard. The rest of the pants remain unchanged. The rest of the gear is unchanged, renamed from last year. And the year before that. And the year before that.
