I haven't seen the nipple grip in person...is it a clear coat like Easton's or is it closer to the texture of the TPS Armour/Supreme One90 stick?

Some of their stuff looks interesting...anything stand out this year from the line?

WAY too high...only stick that can go above two bills is Easton...we will see have the 9K pans out

That has not be confirmed

How did you know I wore an 8D? That is very nice of you to get them for me! ;)

Are the 120 AG's a price increase or do they just slide into the 110 AG price point? Any idea of the retail? Also, is the VDS tapered blade that atomic mentioned the V-Hex blade or is this a late addition to the line like the 9K for Rbk?

I like the looks of the V-Hex2

I have found the same. I am a big fan of the wavebridge

I noticed that too...seems the 5K OPS is a step down from the prior model and the 7K weighs basically the same as the Synergy ST. If the 7K is more than $150 (which it will be) that will be a tough sell

I didn't get a chance to see the pant line...are there any (significant) differences between the Supreme and the Vapor line? Looks wise, they appear very similar

What is the XXXX going to retail for? I was thinking in the $499 US ballpark...am I way off base?

I don't remember off the top...are there any non-pump high end skates?

The AK27 is not a combo actually, it's fused like the Dolomite / 1100. It's noticably lighter than the Dolomites I have (in fact it's lighter than my XN10s), but I find the shaft vibrates a little more and has a little less pop. Remember though, these are pro sticks so they're not comparable to the retail versions. Flash - Of all the sticks you have...which company tends to have the highest quality product, stick in and stick out, TPS, Easton, Warrior, etc? (I am refering to performance coupled with durability, feel, etc)

Does anyone know if the standard blades (AK27's) are normal length hosel's like Easton, TPS, etc...or does each curve have a different length hosel like Inno's did? That used to really piss me off to have to change my shaft lenght for a blade

Good call. Good bye Bauer :( JR - Do you know if they will eliminate one line of skates? If they did I would assume it would be the Flexlite, just because the Supreme line was just redone and the Vapor is so popular

What will change for 2007? Having a full range of NBH, Nike, and Bauer skates? Or the Flexlite 12 will change? I would guess both would change and NBH will be a single line from here on out.

Thanks

Anyone notice the Intake helmet is different than the pro version. There are ugly pieces on the side of the helmet where the expanding peice is. Look at the picture of players in the catalog (it resembles the HC100 side). The retail version has a different style adjuster that sticks out and doesn't mesh as well with the helmet

Yes it is... Also, it looks like the standard Redlite is gone...too bad, it was a great shaft

A lower cut skate will allow you to extend your stride but some players are unable to change to a lower cut boot. I feel like I get a much better stride and agility when I have a lower cut boot, but I feel like I lose speed in a lower cut skate...I might have not given it enough of an opportunity

Some decent looking gloves, prices still going up? Thank you JR

Unfortunately no

Bingo. ;) So you kept 10 eyelets and just reduced the height of the boot?

MRod, your spelling sucks and you have warned us about the arrival of your MIA's about 20 times now ;)

Thanks again...keep them coming
