Preffered Sticks of Defenseman

[cforce 0]

Just wondering what sticks the defenseman on this board use and think are the best suited for there position , or is it a personal preference thing? Anyways, woods, 2-pieces, OPS ... its all good.

thanks for the input!

On my team (i dont play D, never will :lol: ): L2 combo, cut M-1 with UG blade, UL with UL blade, Vapor XX, Stealth grip, ST, V110, prostock si core

[EBondo 233]

Stealth, Stealth Grip, R+, Synergy Shaft/Z Carb blade, Si-Core, Vapor VI, sometimes someone plays D and he uses an Endure, I think that's everyone

I've used an XN10 Pro Stock, (2 of them), Sherwood SOP 9960, Zbub Grip, and Redlite, and a v120.... Guys on my team use the same as AS12 as its the same team. ;)

i play D, i stick with the original synergys, i got a bunch of 04 models still, after those i'll stock up with the ST . i dont really like the lighter ops's out now , i dont have good control with them. and they break too easy

I would say its more of a personal preferance thing, use what you like and are comfortable with.

L-2/Vapor XX (me), M-1/Z-1, Si-Core, ST Grip & a cut Dolomite with a CCM blade

unless you get into protective equipment, in my opinion there is no stick meant for a forward or defenseman...

anyway, i'm a defenseman and use a Vapor XXX Hossa pattern stick. Other D on my team use: UL Shaft with Sher-wood blade(Crosby), Vapor X shaft with Easton Hybrid blade(Forsberg), Stealth Iginla pattern, Easton Z-Carbon Woody(Forsberg pattern), Stealth Forsberg Pattern, Synergy II with Forsberg Z-carbon syn. blade)

As you can see, theres not much of a pattern.

i use a vaper XXX others us SL's synthesis and ST

[g0o0nshow 0]

I use a Vapor XXX lite, i like cause i can swing it back and forth quickly when im on the pk "active stick" i guess you call it and because i like the feel. The other Dmen on my team use stealth, st grip, tps intrigue, si core, and an sl grip.

Other than the pattern that they almost all use. <_<

well if you're looking for durability xn10s could be a good choice. and i guess a pattern similar to a lidstrom would be preferable to a defenseman (square toe). other than that its whatver floats your boat

My Phillips C8 XN10 lasted two practices and one game, took a slash while clearing the puck with a few seconds left.

Never had a problem with the Response Plus, used a Stiff Morrow in a rotation last season and just recently went back to a Whip Messier after having durability issues with the SL.

Should i mention that over half of our forwards use a Forsberg/modano/clone also? <_<

Well I use a M1 Grip with a McCauley curve. And I just got a RBK 5K Pronger Curve I'll be trying out tommorow.

The other D on my team use all two-piece tapered set-ups. 3 Synthesis Grips, 1 RBK 6K, and 1 L-2. Two of them use Drury, One other (besides me) uses Lidstrom clones, and the other two like Forsberg.

Use strictly sakic only ,on both forward and d but some times find it hard to keep shots low from the point.

[lesterhenson 0]

^^^ Same here. I try to not change my curve at all. Currently i have three sl grip's and about 7 various blades with sakic curves.

[Bauer_freAK 0]

I've used Ultra lite Shaft, Triflex Shaft, Z-Bubble Shaft, TPS Response Xn10 and now I'm using the Vapor XXX ;)

[Project_2501 0]

I have an XN10. Other people use a: 9950, XXX, Si-Core Grip and 7000 (same kid), Z-1, Stealth and 7k (same kid), V110s (2 different kids have these), and a Synergy Grip.

prostock xn10, vapor XX, ccm 110 shaft w/easton hybrid blade, zbubble w/sicore blade, sherwood SOP woody, easton woody, lots of different sticks. basically no overall preference to anything
