What's the deal with these? I've seen them from time to time on ebay and have always wondered what they are.

Hinote used something similar, i think one of our member had one

ccm vector shaft with wood blade fused into it. I think it tapers but im not sure. I dont know much more about them. Hinote used one along with Ortmeyer of the Rangers. The only time i saw one was at a local ushl sale and that is all I remeber about it.

So it's more or less a tapered shaft made to look like a ops?

Nylander was the first one I saw with this kind of stick when he was on Washington, then went to Boston. Definately interesting.

Last I saw he was still using the TAC wood sticks but I haven't looked this year.

Yeah he's using the Tac wood. When I saw him using the wood ops it was awhile ago...his Washington/Boston days...that's almost 2 years ago now.

I was in the Pens locker room over the lockout and Mario had a ton of those with 110 Graphics, I believe he's using one similiar with 130 graphics this year.

I'm pretty sure Mario uses an all wood painted to look OPS. The stick we are talking about is a fused wood blade into a graphite shaft.

it was in the pens ice time (program) that mario is trying out a v130

So this stick is a Vector shaft with a wood blade glued in then painted over? I'd like to try it out, but I don't want to have a useless stick once the blade breaks.

[hockeydude_49 0]

Wouldn't you be able to just cut it at the fuse point like anyother ops?

yeah seems kinda like a waste since wood blades have a much shorter life than graphite, but if you can pull the blade out then its not so bad. i bought mine for $60, and considering that 3030s are about $40 after tax, i dont feel like i threw away that much money on a stick that wasnt made to last.

Nylander was using a Stealth against the Canadians on Monday night...

I noticed cos the commentator laughed at how weak one of his wrist shots were... So it's not the stick? you mean it's really the player who shoots the puck???? I'm confused I thought the stick was all you needed to be able to shoot well?
