and is that a vapor 20 shaft or is it cut with a blade in it

They are made by Nike. The technology is called Nike Swift Technology. There are a couple posts on the board about them. The jerseys are easy to get, but the socks have been impossible as of yet.

Completely OT, I think it's funny how some women hockey players can look so good in their equipment, then once they're out of their gear they're absolute horses. I have been fooled many times at the local rink.

I just looked up Ruggiero's vitals and she plays at the same weight/height as St. Louis. Blech.

Yeah, she's a big girl.

Or St.Louis is a small man!

Anyway, that stick maybe a marketing job, maybe the xv with different graphics

Considering it's a XV blade, yeah I'd say it's a XV with different gfx.

Well, it could be any tapered shaft, as the XV blade is just any old tapered blade.

Not sure if this is just for pro/college stock or not, but there is a XX shaft out. The XV might be canceled for retail. The XX tapered shafts look and feel like they are just XVs with XX graphics, and are probably just a marketing decision. Maybe the XV label was causing people to think it was a mid-range shaft and hurting sales.
