Svatos37 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2006 the old st is 135. But i am getting the 06 which is about 160.And im not so sure about that 9.5 on the 06 stealth. I hear that it will be even lessdurable than the 05 one.by the way whbd. st stands for super tough. It is a little stonger than the normal synergy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkancho 6 Report post Posted March 7, 2006 Yeah that's why I got it.. the good durability. I just hope I'll get used to the Forsberg because I've been using the Yzerman clones/old Jagr Kohos all my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svatos37 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2006 it shouldnt be to hard. I have always used the Yzermans and the iggys and the transition was not hard for me at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SyracuseBulldogs04 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2006 I think whbd18 was just giving an average price of what the stuff is retailing for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just hope I'll get used to the Forsberg because I've been using the Yzerman clones/old Jagr Kohos all my life. :o You know an Yzerman, or anything Yzerman'ish is a 6 lie, big mid. A Forsberg is an anemic heel/mid with a 5 lie. big difference. I went from an Yzerman to a Sakic (too much toe loft) and now just bought forsberg. At least I went from big mid, to small mid, then to heel. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkancho 6 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 Haha, yeah I know it'll be hard to get used to. I'm actually coming off a Gaborik Stealth but I just wanted to get used to a straighter blade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 06 should only be about $140-$150 at most unless your store is jacking up the price,like most LHS do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkancho 6 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 Wow forsberg sounds like a popular curve. What style of play does it suit most? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been using a P31 for a while, it's closest retail counterpart would be a TPS Tucker/Perry or Bauer P106. They're somewhere between a Drury and a Lidstrom. The P31 has a lower lie though.

Svatos37 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 I think that the forsberg is more of a conservative curve(as opposed to a radical curve). I think it is really easy to stick handle with, and i dont have to shabby of a shot either. I could be wrong, but these are just my thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svatos37 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 Haha, yeah I know it'll be hard to get used to. I'm actually coming off a Gaborik Stealth but I just wanted to get used to a straighter blade yeah yoou may have a little bit of a hard time. Especially comming from a gaborik curve. That thing is insane!but im sure you will be happy once you get used to the fappa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 Chadd-Are the P31s kind of a shorter and fatter blade? I have a Sundin ST and the curve's still the same but I'm not keen on this shorter/bigger blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
