Just received the XXX Lite today for the shop. I think the product looks even better in person. No more P02 Samsonov/Lids pattern for me but oh well..........

I saw the Vapor XXX at Derion Ice Center in the Chicago area. They only had juniors in stock. I can't remember off the top of my head what they were priced at.

Yeah I saw some XXX Lites at probably the same proshop that you did #28.  Was it the place with the 2 indoor soccer "rinks"?

Yep that was the place. It was Gunzo's proshop at Darien Sportsplex.

Yeah that was a great little shop for just sticks. Great prices and tons in stock compared to my LHS.

I was only offered Hossa PM9, Naslund P92, and Lindros P88. The P92 Left Seniors were backordered. All the others were shipped in qty of one each. I was not offered P106 Jokinen in XXX Lite. I received Sr, Int, and Jr.

Yes, I'm an FLD. I was in Quebec in June for the FLD conference. It was a great experience to see the NBH factory in Ste Jerome. The Vapor XXX Lite Launch was only for FLDs.

I'm not sure I understand ya. Are you saying you only got 1 stick in each pattern? So you only got a total of 3 sticks?

Keep one of those PM9s on the side for me! I can be at your shop in 5 mins! Lol.

No, no. He's saying that he got PM9's P88's and P92 sticks in large quantities, but only one of each of the other patterns.

not sure about the one in marlboro i went to the one in danvers today they said that the sticks just left from bauer and they should be in before christmas thats as specific as he said he could get as far as the arrival date.

wow, got ours in, that stick feels NIIIICE. made in china ;)

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

Yeah, I got my allotment today. My Troy store got their 30 ft of XXX Lites on Friday.

[whbd18 0]

Well my LHS got them yesterday. Only in PM9 and P88,they are $195. My friend got one and used in our game today.The grip felt nice,very subtle. I might have to get one in the PM9,but it doesnt seem worth $195. Im going to wait a week untill I go to Pure Hockey and try to find a P106 or P91 87 Flex

[DarkStar50 679]

Can anyone confirm seeing patterns other than PM9, P88, and P92 in a LHS? This is for whbd18 who may be chasing a pattern not available.

I was looking at the XXX Lite a little closer today in the shop. The Sr shaft seems a bit "boxier" and "thicker" than my XXX OPS that I currently use. I don't have hands the size of oven mitts so even a bit bigger on the shaft is very noticeable to me. I wonder if its me or an optical delusion(credit: Leo Gorcey- The Bowery Boys- old b/w movies).

i know for a fact i saw a kovalchuk, and i thought i saw a jokinen but i remember actually holding the kovalchuk because i wanted to look at the curve.

I have just accessed the 06 NBH catalog. "In the spring" the XXX Lite will DEFINITELY be available in P91 and P106 patterns as well as PM9, P88, P92.

Going forward there is no more Vapor XXX OPS available in 2006. It is NOT in the 2006 catalog.

The Vapor XX Stickum returns in P88, P02, P10, P71, P106, P91, P92, and PM9. Flexes are 87, 102, 112.

The "new" Vapor XX Color OPS is available in P88, P106, P91, P92, and PM9. Flexes are 77, 87, and 102. There are 28 color patterns listed by sku, not the actual colors on the booking worksheet! Don't ask me the colors. The worksheet does not list the colors. The worksheet does not list if there are minimums to order for each color.

The Endure returns for year 2. Same line-up as XXX Lite for patterns and flexes.

There are two new "price point" sticks: The Vapor VIII and the Endure 2. Both in 77 and 102 flex only. Same patterns as XXX Lite.

The last OPS is the Vapor V-2, a notch below the VIII and Endure 2. Flexes are 77 and 87. Same patterns as XXX Lite.

just got my xxx lite. its awsome

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

Stores were allowed to buy prepacks that included PM9/P88/P92. I think my Troy location has the P91...

[the iceman 132]

Cyclone taylor has a few in stock. One is in the new '77 Med Flex'.
