Thanks. It makes me wonder if I should wait for the 9900 to be released and get rid of the 9500 I got on clearance. Then again, the price should be exorbitant for the 9900.I'm also wondering if the 9900 cage will be any different than the 9500 cage.
It wont. Its the same thing with a different number on it and no nike logo.

Nice. Warrior really needs to allow you to do each finger differently for the customizer.I believe you can. Just fill it out on the sheet. It's the same way people get the pinky finger done. Unless you mean done visually on the customizer.
What sheet? I meant by the customizer... didn't know there was any other form of creating them.

so i am assuming in Q4 of 2010 the one100 stick will be outCorrect. Every Q4 bauer releases either the new vapor line of sticks or the new supreme line of sticks, next Q4 is supreme's turn.

IIRC it is 400.

Listen you guys I don't want to get in an argument with you, if you want to pay 600$ for a repainted one95 ok, but please don't tell that the price for a pair of fusion blades is 100$ ok, that is what you pay for a pair, not the cost for Bauer to put them on a skateso with this logic, i should have to pay 10 bucks to get intel's i7 processor, because, that is how much it costed them to make it? if only... god forbid they'd have to pay employees to make the product, pay for the shipping and casing costs, pay for the research and deveoplment, pay for the warehouse and electric bill, pay to market it.... god forbid any company would have to do that. BUT WAIT, THERES MORE! God forbid a computer ship store would have to pay for their employees, the cost of all the sides of business, and pay for the cost of what if this thing wont sell, then were screwed (rainy day money), god forbid people have to pay for that shit.
you sir are not smart. take that. enjoy your fairytale world where millions of dollars in R&D and product and materials mean that i have to pay for what the item costed them to make it, regardless of how much tech $$$ went into it. can you ban on idiocricy?
-
Sorry if it has been stated already, but how much cheaper are we looking at? And are we comparing the 'lower' price to current prices for the one95 or its launch price?MAP on the one100 is 600. MAP one the one95 was 650.
as for if they put fusion steel on the one100, it would have been a 650 skate, instead of 600. I'm guessing there will be some LHS's that might sell you fusion steel if you want for half the price, but then they'd get to keep the 2.1 steel, and have it at the 650 price.

Okay, then it is just demographics, as easton ops (especially se16 and s19) are selling like crazy. We sold out of STs forever ago. If we sell 3 easton top-line ops sticks, we sold 2 bauertop-line ops sticks. Right now with the x60 coming out we're even with bauer/easton, but i think that is also because we've gone through 90% of our easton inventory and only got weird curves or unpopular flexes left in easton, and our bauer is mostly stocked
Anyways part of the reason i think easton sticks also sell so well is because they aren't flashy. RBK/CCM are becoming more and more flashy every year, warrior's look like graffiti, and the bauer is still pretty plain like easton but pops a little flare to make them stand out more.
As for mid-range sticks thought? Bauer is outselling easton big-time, too. Probably because the people at that price range care more about looks and asthetics rather than feel/performance.

You still forgot to mention it. It's THAT important. :P

will def be checking out the EQ line especially the gloves. The S-19 protective looks interesting also.you'll love the shin guard then, probably. wrap around lock on the back gives you alot more protection then before, and less slippage from what ive been told.
basically the new stealth protective line is a huge improvement over the previous models. easton finally is catching up in almost all areas, and still excels in sticks.

JR, you forgot to mention the beer bag ;)

and our rep flexed a 50 and snapped ita full grown adult snapped a stick designed for a kid 100lbs or less. that doesn't prove a durability issue, that proves an intelligence issue with the rep.
he didn't lean in into it though. like, all he was doing was pushing slightly on it in the middle.... it flexed like an inch and snapped... but yeah, pretty dumb by our rep. needless to say, we didn't get the octogun line :P
-
Based on the fact that they are already being dumped, the Octogun line of sticks from CCM should qualify as a bust.Technology is still there. There will be a U+ Octogun coming out....
Well they were kind of busts... I've seen one in a kids hands this season, and he said he got it free. And when our dealer had it to show off, i snapped an 85 flex on a wristshot, and a 100flex on a snapshot in a span of 2 minutes (snapped on third shot each time)... and our rep flexed a 50 and snapped it..
durability seemed to be like an issue, however, i think that like a redo of it making it more durable would do well in rec leagues.
-
From their times with the Bucs I assume?Yup. Its been hanging in my room for over 10 years. lol. Pete Fregoe is on it, too. Remember him? LOL I think Sejna is on it, not quite sure though.

In honor of TBL's post,
what does a guy have to do to get those cole gloves off your hands...?
if it makes everyone feel any better, i have his autograph on a hockey stick from 1996. for sale at 400 dollars, it also has an autograph with fellow NHLer scott clemmensen, and semi-pro player pete fregoe. PM with payment information :P ;)

he has 30 cnts.
assuming the poster is aged 20-30, and he plays until he is 50, that is one stick per season. pretty good, actually. i know i break more than one a year. So therefore, he has a life-time supply of a stick he loves. That, or he found a truck on the side of a road & took the sticks and is looking to sell them for like 50 bucks a pop or something. Either way, excessive, but cool. Can't lie. :P
And if this guy is in the age of 15-20, they tend to break 300% more sticks than older people do in rec leagues, so if he is say 16, this will last him 7-8 years, a very good supply. Or, maybe he just got a GREAT deal on them and realized he could just give him to his kids when they grow older to use that kind of stick. Imo can't say its stupid without a reason on having so many of them.

There is a X:60 stick on Ebay for a buy it now price of $300. I would go after it but it is lefty.well if youre still willing to pay 300 bucks to get a stick early...the same guy is also selling a righty s19 if youre interested.
s19 is in our shop in two weeks. lol. dunno who these people are who pay THAT much for a stick...quite ridiculous imo if it is in stores in a couple weeks.
What store?
pm'ed you.

width of hossel. one95 shaft is .620 for standard blades. vapor line is .520 for tapered blades, and the xxxx is .470 for even a more extreme tapered hossel.
most OPS are between .470 and .550, which is why if you break the blade off you have to flip the stick to put a blade in it.
-
yes there is. should be available this october iirc, if it is not, it will be available around april, as it is in the roller booking order. its a .520 available in 77, 87 and 102. blade will come out at same time.

What else are breezers called?

omg you all have so much stuff, any1 want to send me there unwanted gear down to aus for free lollol
dont forget your friends in toronto, canada :D
you atleast have stores that are respoibly prices, a wodden stick here costs 60+bucks
Pants are like 100
Gloves 150
Its a rip off, some skates here a 50% + mark up
its for shipping charges. costs a boat load of money to send stuff to aussieland.
i know a guy from perth who plays juniors because he comes to our shop every year and lays down like 2 grand on gear and he says the prices are ridiculous. one95 skates cost equivalent to 950 american and when the s17 came out it was going for 350 american. shipping charges are redunkulous.

Well it isn't that uncommon for stores to lie so they can try to sell you stuff their in the store. In May I was in Vancouver at a the shop said that the CL was not a stick and that the top end stick was the U+, tried to sell me that stick instead. At play it again in MN I always got a run around on products, "bauer doesn't make a 40, they only make a 30" or my favorite "easton doesn't make stealth sticks' even though about 5 minutes later when i was browsing, i saw them on the rack. some just say stuff so you buy the thing that they have there right then and now.

Cost will be the same as regulars. Probably around the 160 range. IIRC the only noticeable difference is the palm, where the pro will be a little more tapered and the regular x60 will feel more loose.
