Sher-Wood RM19

I've seen the new RM9's in a LHS, but I haven't heard anything about the RM19. I saw that Bonk and Plekanec on Montreal were using them, but I think they have since switched. What's the word on this stick. How much will it cost? Whats the weight? What technological advances? I can't find any info on it. The Sher-wood site sucks. It doesn't even have any RM9's on there and they are in stores now.

I got to see the RM7 (haven't seen the RM9 yet) in person the other day. I was tempted to buy it since it was only $75 US and I have a $50 gift card, but it was big time blade heavy.

My LHS has some RM19's. I don't know much about them other then they are very long, and very expensive.

I also have an RM9. Solid stick. The RM19 is an SOP only stick that you can customize with color, flex, grip, and pattern.

If I'm not mistaken, there's nothing out there like a Spezza.

I like how the Sher-wood patterns are prefixed with 2-letter codes that are suspiciously similar to Easton patterns.

Easton really does set the standard, no matter who's name is on the stick/blade.

I think for retail patterns there should be a manufacturers "gentleman's agreement" where every standard pattern is numbered rather than named. That way consumers could freely move from one manufacturer to another knowing what they're getting in a blade. How many named patterns are what the corresponding pro actually uses? I'd bet not too many.

I know from a marketing standpoint that would go against the whole principle of putting a pro's name on the pattern, however from a consumer standpoint it would make it much easier for us.
