I can say with some confidence that very few people will buy a 399 stick but the 230 two piece sticks will fly off the shelves. I'm guessing two piece stick are easier to make and maybe more profitable? So...

Everytime they mess with the blade like this it makes the blade the weak point of the stick. True does this, CCM did this back in the day and always the first thing to break would be the blade. It usually works but the life of the stick will be a joke in my experience.

So I have been breaking sticks for some reason and was in the market for more sticks. So I go to the store and order a Bauer2N Pro thinking my back up stick will last till the 2N Pro shows up. It will take two weeks to arrive... Long story short my backup stick starts making tell tail noises. So I quickly buy a Bauer N2900 which they had in stock. I start using the N2900 and I like it.... Then I start to think maybe I should not buy the Bauer 2N Pro and maybe just buy a Bauer 2N which would be an upgrade to the N2900 and save $100? I just kinda feel bad doing it for some reason... What would you do? Bottom line I think done with $300 plus sticks since the $220 lines are really good.

So basicly what they did was sew a old fashion jock inside core shorts, even has the two loops to put each leg though. I have used them for two games and love them. Once you postion the jock it is not moving. The velcro for the hockey socks is top notch. For 100 canadian shipped I think they are perfect.

Now that most sticks come with grip. Why do we still tape the top hand? How is tape better than the grip texture that comes with the stick? Tradition from wood stick days? Backstory: Broke my stick mid game, had to rush a tape job for the knob of backup stick. I added tape so that my hand didnt slip off and wouldn't hurt anybody, other than that I left the rest bare. It felt better, way better. Do people know about this? Lol

Ya the numbering system is strange for the 0.5. Quad 0: 6-9-11-13 Quad 1: 6-9-12-15 Quad 2: 7-10-13-16 Quad 0.5: 8-10-12-14 So given my stats 9.5 size, 280 blade, 220 pounds Quad 1 is suggested, not sure what 0.5 is suggested for... Skate on a 11' (use to be 13' back in the day) trying to work my way down in number but not to the point of falling(9' is to small for me) so the 0.5 looked perfect to me. Great post. Thank you.

Has anyone tried the Quad 0.5 profile? Backstory: So I went on YouTube to do some research on Quad profiles and found the channel Hockey Tutorial who talks about it and in the end he said the best for him was the Quad 0.5 which is a 8-10-12-14 profile. So me coming from an 11' I figured this would be a good place to start. yet no one here has a review. Apparently the Quad 0.5 does not come standard with the machine. As far as I can tell it is a $88 part so no idea why shops don't have it but that is another story/question...

Apparently the company is in both bc Canada and Florida and they ship out of Florida... I get the feeling that they are starting up after getting the patient back... not cheap at the moment but I feel like I found a unicorn so I dont care. Update: so they ended up charging me in Canadian dollars so the price was 105 canadian shipped after tax etc. So not bad at all.

I emailed the company and got this as a reply! Good day Michael, As a matter of fact we do have a coreshorts hockey model with a jock insert. We have not released them yet on our site . The short runs $86.00 USD . If you decide you would like to order one, please let me know and i can have someone from our office reach out to get the necessary information. On our site there is a sizing chart . It is important to use that as a guide tool as the short should fit like a second skin. please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. happy holidays ross 226-927-3773 ross@coreshorts.com

Ya I saw that. I basicly went to the dark web to try and find them... nothing in my size. Nadda. Zip. Large or extra large are all gone... I messaged the BC company that has the patent but...

I'm looking for this: UNDER ARMOUR CORESHORT PRO SENIOR COMPRESSION JOCK SHORT Or something like it. Right now I put a jock on which are in compression shorts then core shorts over top. If I can find these I can shed a layer but I think they stopped making them...

I remember last year there being a large drop off between the Nexus 1000 stick vs the next step down the Nexus 600. I was surprised there was nothing in between. What do you think the drop off is like between this years Nexus 8000 vs the Nexus 7000? Seems closer, I see one piece vs two piece but considering it's a mid flex, probably notice it less. Thoughts? I have to explain these things to my wife when I pay 300 for a hockey stick.

Funny thing about the hall curves is i know what they are talking about when they mention loading the toe on the shot. The only problem with it is it rises very fast and is hard to aim. Feels like it takes a while to load as well. I use a 85 flex and these shots are like circus shots. Have to be inside the dots if im going to hit the net:)

This itouch has a small screen. My bad

Need some pics people
