CCM Vector V10 Catapult Stick

[thegongshow13 0]

just curious if anyone has used this stick and on another note has anyone dealed with CCM warranty returns.

For example, I have a bonk curve in an 85 and I want an ovechkin curve in a 75, would they do this for me or would they say no and give me the exact same flex and curve (I know bauer doesn't care, I sent back a 77 and got an 87 and my friend sent a ONE90 back and got a ONE90 grip because he asked for one)

So anyways, if anyones used it i'd like to know how it feels, shoots, etc.

Only reason I am considering it is because I have a chance to get it for a price.

I have one....but never had to deal with CCM returns.

Well about the Catapult:

I have the Ovechkin 75flex, and I got it about a week ago, mayb a little bit more.

After breaking my Drury SL, i decided i didn't want to wait for the Warranty SE (which is now in the for sale section ;) )to get sent back so i went to my LHS. I've had my eye on this particular stick for a while now, and the only reason I didn't get one was because the price is a little up there, and I've gotten sticks for cheaper that I have liked.

Once again, it's a little early to judge, but if I had to, I'd say it's the best stick I've ever used. I use a LOT of flex, and the 75 is basically 100% perfect for me. The long taper on the bottm really does help you load the puck easily and (no pun intended) CATAPULT the puck off your stick.. Sounds like a lame marketiting campaign, but it's truly what the stick does..

I never have a bum shot with this stick, and my only problem is that if you get slashed or anything, the stickers start to come off...this bothers me mostly cause i think its got good decals and it's a good looking stick.

So to wrap it up, i would really reccomend this stick. Others say it breaks really easily, but that is mostly always not a problem for me.

If anyone doesn't feel like reading my realllly long review here :P or has questions i didn't talk about, just PM me.

Myself included along with two others have sent back 10.0's and gotten back RBK 7k's so probably not to answer you're question as it's doubtful you'd get a 10.0 back even. By the way of the sticks sent two were Lemieux's and one was a Recchi.

wait...so if i sent back my catapult, they'd send me back a SicKick?

tried at v10.0 mid flex ovechkin this week also. really nice kick on shots even though the blade is a bit softer than some of the other top of the line OPSs'. much better kick then my sickick on snap and wrist shots. it was a friend's so i didnt take any slappers with it.

how did they send you the sickick, the only clone to lemieux is the sk11 which is pro stock and I don't think they sent you that, did they?

If I sent in a catapult and I got a sickick, I would be PISSED.

yeah screw that, what I was gonna do was get an old v130 for like $120, break it and send it in, but not for a sickick, I've used one and I hated it.

Its reasons like that why we pay a premium on composites. BTW that is fraud and it's illegal.

no it's not...if he breaks an old model, the company doenst make that one anymore, so they send him the new one.

Happened to me with my SL...originally i wanted it just so i could get a replacement SE, but after using it, i actually liked it...they sent me back the wrong pattern on the replacement too

It's the intentional braking of a stick and sending it back that's mail fraud and that's a federal offense in the US. Regardless of the model you break, they're still sending you a replacement stick that they otherwise wouldn't have sent.

Mine was the Recchi and they sent a Modano Sickick and for Lemieux's they sent back Bergeron Sickicks. I've heard that they are out of the old 10.0's and for some reason they aren't sending out the new ones for warranty replacement.

who said I was intentionally breaking it? that sticks a peice of shit so when it did break I would send it back.

and the reason we play a premium on composites is because companies know we will.

i don't break many sticks, but i remember easton asking me to send a copy of the receipt, and they would send a replacement of equal purchase value. i bought a sicore grip for 150 back in the day, and when it broke i was hoping for an SL but i was offered an ST instead. luckily my LHS offered to replace it with one off the rack

read what you wrote, you definitely sound like you meant ot break it on purpose.
