Stealth S17

[Gummer12 134]

Hey JR.... Do you know if Nicky or Hank will be using this up at camp? Or will they stick with the SyNergys? Also will either of them be using the Easton helmet? A few of us from the rink are headin up, most likely for the Red/White game.

I just saw Lids - didn't ask him. Will do next time.

I just saw the most ungodly hot neighbour walking her dog on the way back from my run. She started talking to me and I leaned down to pet the dog and it Jet Li'd my apples. I hate labs.

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

She should've consoled you.

In the past Great Skate has always had the newest stuff on their site for preorder at least a couple of months in advance. I'm surprised NOT to see this stick there yet.

Hello Easton freaks!

I know this questions is slightly off topic but I need your advice.

My LHS offered me a Stealth (06/07) for half the price because they can't deliver the Synergy ST I ordered some weeks ago. :(

Since I never had problems with the durability of my ST sticks I'm wondering if the Stealth (06/07) is as durable as the ST? Any suggestions?

Is the switch from ST to Stealth something you would do for 50% discount when durability is an issue?

cordially,

JP

PS: Sorry for my bad english. I'm not a native speaker.

That is a great deal. I would do it. The CNT is a great stick.

Nice find.

Stick looks sick. Might have to pick me up a Sakic when they hit retail.

ugly... ill probably pick one up when they come out though.

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

So, obviously team colors for them...

JR now that the stick sighting is done can you tell us what is the "gimmic" for the new stealth?

Kinda looks like a one90, don't like the s17 on it.

As JR said.. .Obviously a team color option. I don't think Any stick would look good in Ducks colors.

I'm thinking the stick JR had a while back will be the stock color combo? Or has that not been finalized?

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

The stick shape changes right as it begins to taper - imagine a normal stick shape merged with a flatter Metamorphic Flyweight.

The premise behind it is that it will cut down on torque. So - no gimmick - why do you think I used the MM FW for so many years?

I've heard a lot about this flyweight stick. Are they still available at all?

Or at the least could i get a picture of it?

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

There's seven in my apartment :)

Was in my LHS, the topic of the S17 came up, he showed me the rep pics he was given. Looked like ass in low-res on paper and my initial impression was ass, but that linked shot looks nice. New SC6 has very similar graphics.

Told me the pre-packs shipping for preview are right-handed Sakic in 100 flex, and the stick's hitting retail almost a year from now.

Also told me RBK recalled a shipment of retail 9k0 sticks.

Lower three sticks, the middle flyweight is closest to retail. These are bios not metas.

What store did you go to?

We had choices of three patterns...

Since the cat's outta the bag, I'll speak up.

Saw it last thursday at an open hockey, a guy had a prostock one from the isles (comrie, I think). For the first half of the night, I thought it was a custom colored one90 until I had a shift against him and got a better look. The taper is different, to say the least, but he seemed to like the stick's performance. Too bad I didn't really know the guy; I might have been able to tell you more.

[DarkStar50 679]

Sounds like the rep allocated just Sakic to that shop. The "year from now" info is totally wrong.

SMU colors for pro teams, eh, JR?

[DamnLocust 0]

on the colors: the comrie stick was red, but maybe he had it since he was on the sens? I figured it was just the retail grip color again.

[DarkStar50 679]

Made up for the playoffs?

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

Grip?
