Dolomite Travis Green

Recommended Posts

This is probably going to upset someone, but I couldn't find the exact information I was looking for so I thought I'd ask. A friend of mine ordered two Dolomite OPS with Green curves. He doesn't like them and asked me if I want to buy them for half price. Since it's $15 more than what my woodies cost, I thought I'd give it a shot. Right now, I use a LeClair Sherwood 9950, low lie (4.5 according to the stick). How will these stick he has compare? I can't check them out before I buy them because we don't live very near to one another, and all of the posts about the Green curve on this board just said "low lie." Hockey Monkey, where he bought them, says the lie is a 3. I've read Warrior's numbers are off, so what would it be the equivalent of?

My current pattern description:

Leclair: Mid Moderate, Slightly Open, Medium, 4.5 lie, Round

Monkey's Green description:

Green: MID-OPEN, 3 lie, ROUND, 11.00", 240, Close to DRAPER, Easton equivalent of SAKIC

Green is longer and not as open as the Draper/Sakic from what I recall. I thought it was a 5.5 lie but I could very well be wrong as I haven't seen one in a couple years.

That was the thread I was referring to that said it was a low lie, just don't know how low.

Thanks, Chadd.

Thanks, Cavs.

Well doing one of those crazy searches gave me this:

http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index...ic=2646&hl=

Out to make me look dumb Mack? ;) Understood considering the many posts without basis or research regarding patterns.

I did see that but have no idea what a corebeam is; couldn't imagine that the lowest lie of Warrior would be any higher than a 5 but didn't know if it was ridiculously low. Fedorov is listed as a 4 on the Hockey Monkey site and in the MSH pattern DB. Hence my concern.

corebeam was a forum that preceded msh. i wasn't around for that, but seems like there was a lengthy backstory to it.

The federovs are listed as 4.5 on here, but it's really close to a 5. Still, Green is a pro pattern and the choice of lies for pros is much more varied.

Perhaps you can ask your buddy to compare it to a retail stick he's got?

No not at all, just trying to dig what I can because it's odd that there have been a couple questions of this pattern of late. I thought some had posted pics but I couldn't drum them up.

Thank you for the information. I think that's a great suggestion to have him compare it to a retail. He doesn't have a camera to send me pics, but thank you to the other member who suggested such. <_<

Only teasing. :P Thank you for your help!

here's an Innovative stick from the Boston Bruins 2004.

Nice! Thank you!

Your welcome, in case your wondering his 240 flex feels like 100-105 Easton and the lie is 5 Easton IMO. The sticks are pretty long so once if you cut down the sticks a few inches be prepared for a very stiff feeling stick. From the Travis Green Warrior Dolomites I have seen they have Nipple grip.

Got the twigs and compared them to a couple of Sherwoods: 5030 Crosby (listed as a 6 on the stick), and to a 9950 Leclair (4.5). I'm going to say DL and fastmiele are about right on with a guess of a 5 lie. Nice stick, probably too nice for me but I couldn't pass it up at that price!

Have fun with your new sticks. That was one cheap price.

touche.

in regards to your pictures, the curve doesn't really seem similar to both of my sticks. From your pictures it looks like it starts curving closer from the heel where mine starts curving from the middle of the blade ? The curve seems more deeper and also the loft on your yours seems more too.

It could be because we both took different positions for taking pictures.

However, the style/pattern of the blade face looks pretty much the same.

Sorry to grave dig but how is the rocker on the travis green? I just saw the hockey monkey video and it looks like there's quite a bit of rocker at the heel.

Here's a pic of mine, a little closer

And here it is in comparison with a Lidstrom

The rocker of the T. Green is a bit much for me, even though I attempted to adjust to it. Mine doesn't have grip, but it does feel a little stiffer than I had hoped it would. Still a sweet stick, just not for me.
