Stealth S17

[DarkStar50 680]

Wasn't Comrie using an old yellow grip Easton in Phoenix? Not sure, just trying to remember.....Maybe he is grip only guy.

[mack 44]

I can also say cross-ice dump.

I mean, did you notice the size of the circle he's in?

[LkptTiger 1]

Not to get too far off-topic, but: still with the Easton pants sans RBK shell? Or aren't RBK logos required in practices?

The tapered area (labeled TORX) looks almost like someone stepped on the shaft and flattened it out. The sides of the shaft are thinner and it is actually a little bit taller from the top to bottom of the shaft. Because of this, you will not be able to insert a tapered blade into the end once it breaks.

The launch consists only of 100 flex and 50 flex sticks in normal (grey/blue) or grip (grey/red) and in three patterns - Sakic, Forsberg, and Iginla although Lidstrom was listed in their flyer. They will retail for the same price and are the same weight as the current Stealth. The concave feel is gone and they now have lines on the top of the shaft marking the length kind of like the NBH sticks that have lines to mark the flex as you cut.

JR, am I allowed to post pics now? :D You know since we already have a leaked pic...

Sweet, in Lidstrom, too . . .

Brandon,

Did you see a grip sample or order it?

Brandon,

I just saw the non grip sample. The grip was in the flyer. I ordered some of both models in 100 flex but skipped the 50 flexes. I have a pretty high stock of junior OPS's right now. Darn kids can't break 'em. I did get to see the SC6 stick in the grip version though.

[JR Boucicaut 3809]

Yeah, I was able to order grip ones as well. No Lidstroms in the program though. I did not get a flyer as I saw it a bit earlier.

The Lidstrom option was not on the order form but it was on the bottom of the flyer with pics of the other curves. I guess they just scrapped it for now. I was able to order some non grip Forsbergs so I'm covered. I just hope I like it as much as my CNT.

I have to say, that's gorgeous. It reminds me of the natural carbon wrap finish on my road bike. I've always loved that look.

[mack 44]

Visible weave. How very Vapor XX of them, but it doesn't look that bad.

[kovalchuk71 212]

Anyone see that stick breaking a lot in that thin area?

[JR Boucicaut 3809]

Round will last longer than square...deflects impact.

Is this the first design to ever try an oval rather then square taper?

Exactly. More crazy redirections instead of the shaft absorbing the whole impact from the puck. Now if someone two-hands you...

JR, there was one more scan from the flyer that I didn't send you. It showed some in store support items (banners, stick racks). I wasn't sure if you wanted that stuff too.

very cool. just upset about the blade patterns :/

[Scurvy 3]

I can't wait for the 85 flex S17... It's gonna be a long wait for next season.

You love your Heatleys.

First Easton stick ive been interested in in a long time.

[blueliner27 12]

Agreed. *sigh*

I guess it'll be Forsberg which I'll use.
