[Cavs019 710]

Looks like a Vapor XXX shaft. Probably an X with the XXX graphics.

In the first pic it's just a ccm Ht2 helmet. The stick looks like a broken XXX?

Edit:cavs beat me to it.

when they where in halifax he was using some other bauer shaft i count tell what it was it look like a vapor V shaft tho it probably wasnt tho.

In all likeliness, it is a Vapor X shaft with a wood blade. Seeing as the XXX is a relatively new retail product, it's great marketing, considering there is no NHL hockey to advertise new products.

[JGraz15 53]

I could be wrong, but I believe I remember from the Corebeam days someone posting that he used Ultra A/G shafts, then switched to Hespler and had them make similar shafts.

If you look at your picture, it looks like there is a silver metal tip on the shaft....I am guessing it is an A/G type shaft if not an A/G painted like a XXX

Yeah its Robin Reghyr (spelling?) As for the AG, he does use the old aluminium silver tip AG. I still have one. Great stick. Very light for an aluminum, and had a nice narrow shape to it.

Asides from personal preference,why do some pros wear really old equipment?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Preference and comfort.

i'm a big oilers fan and i know for sure that smyth uses the old school aluminum sticks cause they are almost unbreakable which is what he needs for the style of play he plays.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

He uses a Hespeler with a faux-silvertip and "Moo-Lay" on the shaft.

He hasn't used aluminum in a while.
