Mission Pulse vs. Fuel

[habookus 1]

I'm interested in trying the Mission Pulse, but was just wondering is it a lower end stick compared to the Fuel or what? Also, does anyone know the weight, as well as how the Rafalski curve compares to the Sakic? thanks.

I'm under the assumption that the Mission Fuel is supposed to be their new top-of-the-line stick. I plan on ordering one in a couple of months. Unfortunately I can't answer your other questions.

I have a Fuel and I have tried my friend's Pulse, and I highly reccomend you get the Fuel, the Fuel has much better feel and is just better IMO

I heard from my friend that at a college game he saw 3 fuels break in the first period (They broke up high)

im pretty sure the fuel has the same VDS technology as the pulse has, only its newer and lighter. You can find the pulse about 100 dollars less that the fuel though. I loved my pulse, haven't gotten to try the fuel yet.

The Fuel has the same technology, but a lighter shaft and blade.

which may or may not be a good thing.

I tested the shafts over the summer. REALLY light.

Hey, sorry if I sound like a complete dumbass, but can someone post up a pic of the Fuel because the catalogue isn't working for me and I'm trying to show my friend it because he wants to see what it looks like.

So basically the Fuel is a higher quality version of the Pulse. Weight-wise for the Pulse, are we talking like over 500g and like price-point performance or better? Also, is the Rafalski a Sakic clone?

Ever hear of someone being hit with the ugly-stick?... This is the one they mean.

I actually like the look of the fuels. I like the grip version better. but to each his own.

Habookus, The Pulse was their top of the line stick last year, with top of the line performance.

There are quite a few threads on the Pulse, I did a search for "pulse" in titles only in the ice hockey equipment forum.

i like the graphics on the fuel, but i think the vhex colors make it one of the sharpest looking sticks out there. wasn't really into the pulse's graphics but it was a darn good stick

The Fuel is at the top of my list. Just waiting for my LHS to get them in so I can see how they feel.

I had a Pulse and YES the Rafalski is an exact clone of the Sakic.
