Lucky stick?

Recommended Posts

Do any of you players have a lucky stick..you know one that for some reason you just have more success doing whatever than any another stick...

I remember buying a pair of wood sticks "Canadian" with the Jagr curve. I hated the curve and tried to straighten it out. The next rec game I managed somehow to score 5 goals and an assist...somehow the stick grew on me..

nowadays... I seem to have a love/hate relationship with my sticks..sometimes they feel horrible other times amazing..but always expensive...

Way back in (94) Pee Wee I bought a Sherwood 5030 MacInnis before a big game and tucked four that night and four the night after.

Now, I don't know if its lucky, but my Stealth has been going since October.

Edit: I guess Pro stocks are that much stronger?

Grip Lite 110 w/ KOHO Ozlinish or Vic Naslund blade (Switched to Nassy once the KOHO's weren't available)

I used the combo (2 shafts, about 15 blades) back in 2001, and have constantly thought of going back to it.

My first stick was a wooden Easton Ultralite. I loved it till the day I broke it. It was balanced, lite and theres something about wood sticks that I like.. something like a bond you make with it after you play with it for a while. It broke my heart when I broke the blade on a slapshot. I bought another one, but this one had a totally different "personality" and didnt feel the same.

i have to agree with benchboy...although i dont get too too attached to my sticks for some reason... skates though... i cant manage to get rid of a pair even when they completely fall apart or just plain dont fit anymore...

My R2XN10 shaft that has been around since last December is my "old faithful" at this point. I'll try other sticks but I keep going back to it. I have a second one now and rotate them based on what blade still has a decent tape job.

My "lucky" stick would have to be my Mission M-1 shaft (75) with a junior Synthesis blade, Yzerman curve. After I got used to the majorly big curve, I was able to do things I never could do. Score my first hat trick in ice, do the Michigan, many other nasty moves, my shot was awesome, and I was having the best season in a long time...until it broke....hopefully my Hex-1 will pick up the slack

My stick that I played my best hockey (statistic-wise) with was my old brown Easton Ultralite shafts w/ UG blade (Shanny curve). I used that combo for about 7 years and scored a crapload of goals. Oh wait....I was also about 6 years younger then too....that may have helped. :lol:

Now since CB/MSH was born, I've expanded my stick horizons a bit, become a little slower in the legs, but my game is 10 times better than it was 6 years ago.

My lucky stick was a Koho Vector composite shaft (if anyone remembers those? they had a special coating around the tip that would turn red if you overheated it. lol ) paired with a Christian blade that thing was a rocket launcher. Had a couple of good games with but it broke rather quickly if I remember. That must have been around 1998.
