ccm vector v130t

[khockey#3 0]

Pro shop was selling all there sticks they had i.e Sls Sts vectors and 7ks. I managed to pick up a v130 for 99.99. Because they didnt have the SL in 85 flex iginla. One thing I noticed is the blade doesnt seem as durable as the eastons. Anyone have problems with this stick? I figured a 160.00 stick for 99.99 why not take it. I just dont want this sucker to snap on me in like 2 practices.

Personally I think CCM Vectors are way more durable than Eastons...I have had 110's and I have 2 120's I use right now and they have all lasted a good while....Dont get me wrong my synergys last awhile too but the CCMs seem to be way more durable in the long run.

you never know it could be one of the frist run ones that every1 had problems with.

I have a couple.. you sure they're the 130T and not the 130C? I thought the 130T was pro stock.. at least mine are. Anyway, I love stick but unfortunately had no choice in the pattern and just could never get used to it (D-15). I had no problems with one and on the other the top part of the blade just going into the shaft broke off after 3 games but I think it was kind of a freak thing. It was about a 2 inch piece but the rest of the blade hung in there and never completely broke. There's no way I could justify paying for one but that's just an average beer league player with connections talking....

Use one that I made into a tapered shaft, love the grip, shots are decent, however that snap that my tapered 1100 gives is just not there. To me its the perfect backup shaft. Mine is the T prostock Roy xx-stiff

T is for the traditonal shaft shape and I think the C means contour and its for people who prefer a smaller, rounder grip.

ya man T (traditional) is more of a Square type shaft for bigger hands or for someone who likes a bigger more square shaft and C(contoured) is a rounder shaft made for someone with smaller hands or someone who likes a softer feel and a small diameter shaft

If my blade ever happens to break, where is the EXACT spot I can cut it off to make a perfect tapered shaft. Thats one thing I like about ccm vs easton is ccm doesnt have foam from 6 inches up the shaft to the blade.

True, but i heard that the foam is easily removable by pushing it out with something long. Not sure, but i think someone said that you might have to dremel some of the material on the inside of the shaft to put a blade in. I think someone said that u had to dremel it because its un even inside. not sure tho.

Khockey#3,

Due to the long taper of the V130's cutting the 130 to fit a perfect tapered shaft really shortens the shaft. I can't tell you the exact spot, but I did it once and ended up with what seemed about half a shaft. The V130 shaft is awesome if you're in the shaft/blade market.

I'm not sure about the 130, but recall that some said they had problems re-using the shaft (at least, the tapered part of the shaft - you could always flip it) of the 110 & 120 OPS because they are vacuum formed and the interior walls of the shaft are irregular (thinner in some areas than others, bumpy, etc).
