RBK 9k O-Tech Stick (pics added by JR)

Recommended Posts

I am not sure if Datysuk is still using the 9K...I first noticed in the Wings game against the Jackets. There were a couple of close ups and the stick looked like the wholes were painted on but I couldn't tell for sure.

Here is a pic...FYI I am color blind so I can't really tell

I believe the holes are there. You can see the white from the ice thriugh it and yellow through it where the bottom of the boards are....atleast that is what I believe I see.

Its painted, no shadow of a doubt.

those white holes on the upper part of the shaft are painted, the bottom 7 are actual holes, look at the 7th one up and you can see the yellow through on the boards

my bad i see someone above me has already made this point

Very interesting concept. Im wondering how this thing will actually work. I for one will not be spending 200 bills on a stick anytime.. unless the thing is near indestructible. Would like to see how it plays though.

ya i work at the local hockey shop in our town. our ccm rep came to drop some stuff off on his way somewhere and i asked to see it. i thought it was going to sort of hokey but it feels like a great stick. if i can get the employee discount through ccm/rbk/adidas im going to get one.

although the game hasn't started yet so - he just had it in the introductions so far..

Selanne is using one tonight in the all star game, on that note, theres pictures of lecavaliers using the new vector gloves at the east teams practice (gettyimages.com)

I heard O first, then somewhere I thought I read it was going to be called the 9KO? But youd know much better than me.

I dig the white rbk glove that Sidney has.And the hats that some of the goalers had on with the double sized Logos of the team are pretty sweet.

I don't think durability is an issue. Datsyuk went through 9 full games before a stick broke, in game. Obviously who knows about practice or if he switched sticks between periods/games/etc..

Depending on the price, I would definitally pick up a Prostock Datsyuk if I ever see one.
