[jrphantom042 0]

i have the bauer xxx's and i love them but im not going to spend 200$ on anymore of them.and i needa new stick . anyone have any ideas of a good/strong stick,im a regular goalie ( lefty) and i use about a 25 3/4 to a 26 3/4

does it matter what style of game i play? well if it does im about 5ft 10 in. im a hybrid style but uses the butterfly more then standup style and like to play the puck alot

thanks guys & Gals

The new Montreal Nano sticks are great but incredibly expensive.

LOVE the RBK Luongo, but the grip at the paddle is somewhat uncomfortable

I have always loved Sherwood 7000 sticks but I also suggest www.ballistik.com

they make great custom sticks cheap

[TBLfan 25]

Try ballistik or christian for custom sticks and I'd recommend a CCM H6 for a cheap yet durable stick that you can find pretty easily. I'm planning on ordering a few sticks from don simmons(a ccm, a RBK and a montreal) just to try them out since they are relatively cheap.

They must have improved on the old ones, they were crap. I was a player rep for them a loooong time ago. When the shafts were $20 they were a good deal, not so much anymore.

I've always been dedicated to the Sher Wood 9950, might be a little a heavier, but never had a problem with durability.

I did just pick up a TPS Exceed, besides the paddle being a bit too short it had great feel.

I have used a couple of the 7000 goal sticks and they have been some of the best goal sticks I have used. However I am brutal to my sticks so I can never get a true feel for how long they last. Right now I am in a Sherwood SOP 7000 and an SOP 9950 and a Montreal 9000 Esche.

I love the montreal but I had to cut the shaft and I hate having to cut goalie shafts but I needed it shorter because I am a very active puckhandler.

Do you happen to know how much the stick weighs? That's one I'm looking into.

[jrphantom042 0]

it seemed as light as normal wood goalie stick, it wasnt real heavy and form using the bauer xxx's and tryin the rbk's it wasnt a big deal if the weight,i mean it weighed more because of the difference in materal used to vreate the stick but it was light for a ol' fashion woodie

[Nelly 0]

Yeah for the difference in weight, I can not see spending $200 for the composites when I use 3-4 per season and the RBK 6/CCM-H10 is fairly light and work great for me.

[jrphantom042 0]

i had one that didnt break,it lasted me a near 2 months but i had one that broke in 10 days so im just goin back ot the ol' woodies rbk goalie stciks r really good form what i here / played with

[cardinalhcky26 0]

i use the sherwood feather lit its awesome when the puck hits your stick there is novibration on your hands at all it fells incrediable

[jrphantom042 0]

i couldnt find any sher-woods so i baught the rbk's

[Nelly 0]

Ive got some Pro-stock G-12's coming for me in the next couple weeks direct from an NHL locker room for nothing but compensating for time and shipping Maybe I will be altering my view of composite goal sticks

sher-wood.. ccm won't last

sher-wood.. ccm won't last

<_< I went through 3 Sherwoods in a matter of one month...with my CCMs, its maybe 2-3 per season. They have done me quite well and better than any other goal stick Ive used (which has been most every top-level stick other than composites).

Mike, something interesting I thought I would throw out at you. I had the chance to play with a RBK 6K instead of my CCM H-10 and found it substantially heavier than the CCM. Im not quite sure what the deal is since I was under the impression that they were similar sticks. Not sure about the durability comparison (a guy stepped on the blade and snapped it after 30 minutes). Just thought I would give you a little insight since you said you had ordered some RBKs.

really? i go through about 6 sherwoods a season. i bought a ccm and broke it in two practises. it was a belfour, sick curve.

[jrphantom042 0]

i never tried ccm's the sher-woods i went threw about 5 or 6 in 3 months

Do you remember which model you bought? The H10 seems to always hold up great for me, but I have run across the occasional lemon that doesn't last more than a few weeks...

I also have the Vapor XXX stick, i broke 2 and have 2 cracked at the blade, overal i have 5 Vapor XXXs, i love them, but they just cant hold up... weight is incredibly light, great for stick handling, rebound control, and i have the blue one and the red one, now hardly ne1 has the blue Vapor XXX, its the tampabay khabibulian model, but then he was traded to chicago

we beat them to go to championship weekend.

but in the game we lost,i slammed my rbk stick on the post along the paddle lengh part & thought i screwed up the paint,next game it cracked and i almost fell.has this ever happen to you & is it a penilty to leave the goal net douring a stopage of play to get another stick?
