wich comp. uses paint and stickers on their stick?

[Guest superman20]

I was just woundering wich uses with technique

[trevor13478 1]

i know the blue ccm vectors were stickers, they used to peel off really easily. Kids on my team used to have all blue sticks, no graphics, they actually looked pretty cool... anyway, im not sure if they still do this, as i haven't really looked at any of the newer ccm's. The RBKs look like they may be stickers because you can see a faint line around the edge of the graphics, however, you cannot peel them off like the vector's. I know easton paints theirs on, pretty sure NBH is the same way.

I'm pretty sure NBH uses stickers. The X's on my XXX-lite are almost all gone from just 3 games.

NBH, CCM, and TPS use stickers.

Easton, RBK, Sher-Wood and a couple others use Silk Screening

I'm pretty sure my response lite is silk screened, some of the paint has run :P

My Vapor XXX, Made in Mexico, is all sticker. The sticker came away at the fuse point between the blade and the shaft. I can see the difference in the graphite weave between the blade and shaft.

Not sure if your looking OPS specifically, but my Mission L-2 shaft is painted/silkscreened.

I have a TPS Adrenaline shaft. It is definatly painted and not stickers. But, it's pro-stock, so I'm not sure of the retail Adrenalines.

I have an old response C8 and it's painted as well.

I love me some Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silkscreen

I could be wrong about the Mission comp shafts being screenprinted, but it's a pretty common process in production environments. The "How It's Made" video from this thread shows the Sher-Wood plant screenprinting their wood sticks.

Response lite too

My XN10 looks like decals though. I can barely seem some seems under the finish. What it looks like is a few stickers underneither the finish, but it could possibly just be the end of the silk screening paint. It hasn't been used so I don't have any wear and tear, which would give it away.

My old redlite shaft was is painted too.

XN10 = decal

I will give you guys a general way to find out coz I've done some decals for composites before. Usually if the graphics don't go all the away around on the rounded edges of the stick, it's print like the previous Eastons. And if the graphics wrap on the edges of the stick like the Vapor XXX it's decals. (stickers) I think it's safe to say that most of the composites today are decals.

Is it less money or what? WHy do they use decals instead of the silk screening?

[TBLfan 25]

i think it's because you can do more visuals with decals. I'd imagine silk screening is rather limited with what you can do.

[GH_ID 0]

It's exactly why TBL, more intresting visually.

My older brothers do complete wraps on my sticks. It looks really neat, you can get your name number, team name, logo, whatever, in some cool colors. I usually put some thicker "armor-like" material to protect from slashes and skate cuts. There's also some grip decal too that makes your stick feel brand new haha

[TBLfan 25]

Seems like the decals are starting to go under clearcoat of some sort recently, should help keep them somewhat in tact. Unlike the v110/120/130 and the like. Personally, I come from the school of less is more, so I prefer silk screening.

[Guest superman20]

does warrior hockey use paint or sticker decals ...

[Ryan DYHA 0]

I believe Warrior is paint and I would assume this because my old Dolomite is chipped like CRAZY...
