mack 44 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 You can get a similar kind of curve on a Warrior Smyth on, in my opinion, a much better stick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashtonhutch05 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 well i've got a kronik on the way, and a dolo and ak already, which i love. i tried to find another dolo in the kovalchuk, but no luck. I'll check out the smyth though, thanks. I agree though, xxx lites just aren't as good as the high end warriors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 The Smyth retail pattern is based off of one of Kovalchuk's pro patterns so that's a pretty close shot, plus you have options in the lie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamnLocust 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 Lie choices for Warrior only come on the federov/draper patterns. smyth is listed as a 4 lie, but I'll bet you a dollar it's a lot more like a 5.edit: according to the catalog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashtonhutch05 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 Alright thanks guys. I think I'm still going to get the xxx lites, because it's just a little more than the other stick I was considering, and I get two. A little off topic I guess, but could someone explain to me why pro stock sticks are so cheap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DamnLocust 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 no warranty. also, they're basically leftovers taking up space in the manufacturer's warehouses, so they sell them cheap to distributors, especially when sold in bulk. Same goes for new pro stock sticks sold at team equipment sales- they basically want to get rid of them and make space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
