  1. Had my head down in my rec league last night and got rocked. The thing is...it's a non-contact league. So the guy went to the box and felt shame (probably not the shame part) and I have a bit of a sore neck this morning. He hit me pretty high which was the part that made me mad. We were up 4-1 in the third and had spent 80% of the game in their zone. I know the hit was out of frustration, but still....you don't hit that high.

    There was no shame on that one Seany. Him and their entire bench were complaining that it was a legal hit. Puck was behind both of you and he had no intention of playing the puck, he was headhunting. Feel better for tonight my friend.


  2. I see every single thing you post here on ebay 2 days later.

    From another forum "Coach said I had to have Black gloves for the upcoming season, so I'm forced to sell". Plus this is Show it Off, not look what I just bought and am keeping forever and no you can't have it.


  3. Those CL's are amazing!! What is that piece on the palm? A grip patch?

    They add the patch because that is where most of the wear occurs on the palms from how players hold the stick. So Junior teams add the patch to prevent holes and in the end save money.


  4. Curve: #10 (Ovechkin Pro Clone)

    Shaft: Harrow 300

    Time Used: 11 Months

    Skill Level: A-B

    Stickhandling/Receiving Passes: The Harrow 300 blade is about as good as a blade can get for me. As a guy who likes to dangle through the zone stickhandling has been a breeze. Always been able to tell where the puck is on my blade and has an almost wood feel to it. No problems giving or receiving passes hard passes as the puck seems to almost stick to the blade.

    Shooting: Blade has remained stiff, despite a few nicks, and doesn't torque during a shot. Shots seem to jump off the blade on both the forehand and backhand, although this can be attributed to the shaft most likely.

    Weight/Balance: This is definitely a heavier blade than most. It balances quite well with the Harrow shaft but could foresee it being blade heavy in anything else. A small note that the hosel appears to be longer than other blades so you may have to cut your shaft further to accomplish the same height.

    Durability: These blades are tanks. I am very hard on my blades and have a tendency to wear out the toes of blades very quickly but I'm still using the first blade they sent me. A couple small nicks or dings in the blade and it is still stiff and plays just as well as the day it arrived.

    Intangibles: A good looking blade. Very minimal graphics and a nice composite weave. My only complaint is the logo on the end of the blade. If you don't tape over the toe you wind up with half of the logo sticking out.

    Conclusion: Overall a high quality, durable blade. I am pleasantly surprised at the puck feel given the price. Since moving to a two-piece setup these are my blade of choice if the pattern I want is available, which with a variety of unique patterns offered shouldn't be a problem.

    Overall: 9/10.


  5. what i'm trying to get at is if i had an 85 flex intermediate stick and an 85 flex senior stick at even length, let's say 58", is one stick effectively stiffer or whippier than the other, because the flex should have been measured the same way?

    i get that if i had to cut down a senior stick it feels stiffer, but there's never been an 85 flex intermediate stick to compare it to because a 60-70 flex intermediate stick is whippier than a 75 flex senior no matter the length.

    also, i have 85 flex AKs, dolos, dynasties, and 75 flex dolos and dynasties. i find 85 flex AKs play just a bit stiffer than a 75 flex dolo/dynasty

    :facepalm: If they are the same flex and the same length they should play the same.


  6. This just arrived in the mail about five minutes ago. The original Synergy Grip. One of the best sticks Easton ever made, IMO. If I had the opportunity to stock up on these sticks back then, I would have. Unfortunately, I was younger and lacked the finances that I have now. Definitely one of my top five favorite sticks.

    A unicorn! Guy I recently played a tourney with had one.


  7. I have no clue... are you? The place where I got them baked didn't say anything to me about that. Then again, I didn't buy them from them so they probably didn't care. I hope I wasn't supposed to wait. :facepalm:

    That's what I was told when I bought my x60's.
