doing a project at school and need to know when the first one-piece composite stick was invented and who invented it. thanks.

[Eazy_b97 1]

I believe it was by Busch/ Itech.

What about that Koho blue and yellow peice o junk. My dad bought one when it first came out.

I agree with Eazy - pretty sure the first one piece (composite) was Busch (although, before they had their share agreement with Itech, they had a deal with Sher-Wood and had the Sher-Wood Carbone (you want to talk durable?))

(according to their website, http://www.busch-hockey.com/index2_e.htm , they said Pro's had been using the OPS since 1992. I don't think the Sher-Wood was OK'd by the NHL, so it's possible they had developed even earlier than that)

does any one know where the busch balance is sold in the us..online retailers?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Graf is the distributor of Busch sticks in North America. The Laser isn't exactly the Balance, but close enough I guess.

Koho XL-1.

when did this appear exaclty? it's the one with the oval shaft and really thick ABS style blade right?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Ask Ponty. He was like 50 when it came out.

I had some of those Koho's with the oval shafts..went great with the euro type gloves (XL-7 or something like that)

what was the Jofa Black Shot classified as then?? I remember recoiling at the $49 price tag!!

I would have said the Jofa Blackshot, Cupolo`s Sports used to give them away with the purchse of a Jofa helmet, had a half dozen or so because teammates didn`t like them......

just wondering if anyone knows who the 1st player to use the busch stick was? I'm pretty sure Derron Quint was the 1st player to use the synergy

They were big in Sweden first (non-NHL), but as for the NHL, Igor Larionov would have been my guess.
