Stick Archive

Is there a site or chart that has all the companies sticks in order ever since they were made? Like their first stick all the way up to their newest ops?

Cause Im wanting to get a Z bubble shaft, but Im not sure what generation I want. I know what it looks like but not sure what to call it.

That would be pretty slick. However, maybe your best bet is someone with old catalogues from each year and they could scan them?

I'm really not sure what it is you're asking...Are you looking for one of the old green Z-Bubbles, one of the Metal Matrix ones or one of the new blue ones?

i think he's trying to find out what year the zbubble he wants is.

The original had a green kevlar wrap (similar to the brown ultralites), and no grip was available.

I always thought the second generation was the metal matrix z bubble, but could be mistaken. the blue was nongrip, and silver was grip for that generation.

The current ('06) Z Bubbles are chrome for nongrip and orange for grip.

I believe that there was no "non-grip" option with the Metal Matrix Z-Bubble. As far as I can remember, the blue Z-Bubble wasn't available until the MM had been done a way with.

they were definitely available simultaneously, and im almost positive that they were released at the same time as well. Within a week, one teammate got a blue Z Bub, and another got the silzer Z Bub Grip. IIRC, this was in 2004, when they came out. The look of the blue was very similar to that of the silver, but I'm not sure if it actually had the metal weave or not.

Thanks for the help you guys could give. I'm pretty sure the one Im looking for is the orignal Z bubble. The all green one with the yellow in the middle.

I searched google images for a while and found nothing, and couldnt find a online store that still had them.

They were discontinued years ago, most shops don't like to have dead inventory sit on the floor that long and blew them out. The most likely place to find one is Peranis. It seems like they have really old stuff in the shops more often than anywhere else I've seen. The old stuff usually isn't online but it is in the shops.

They're on ebay from time to time. My buddy has the green one, he loves it, has used it for years as a backup, and uses it for drop-in once a week.

No paint-chipping with that model, so wear isn't apparent if there is even any

im not sure if this counts for "generations" but there was actually two different graphics for the green ones. the one posted above is after they changed to the oval E, and there was one before that which had the E inside the box. i dont think there were any changes to the actual stick tho.

Thanks for that link. I will probally try to get that. Especially with that price!

And to TCsnipes - yea I think your right. The one I was wanting was the original one. (the one that is not on ebay right now)

i still have one but its a JR so i dont think youd be interested. that was the 1st stick i "had to have" i remember when it first came out and i bought it with my own money. haha big stepping stone for a 10 year old.

Is there still a link or does someone have a pic of that page TPS had a while back. With all of the stick generations? That was really cool, they shouldnt have gotten rid of it. I cant remember if it was in the catalogue or on the web page. Does anyone know what im talking about?
