NBH One90 vs. Vapor XXX Lite

[d10 0]

I am 16 years old 6'3 180 lbs (more of a power forward looking for something with a little more touch aroud the net . With a big tornament starting this coming weekend I am looking for a new stick and have narrowed my choices down to the One90 and XXX Lite.

Any insight on either of these sticks would be greatly appreciated.

Touch is in your hands, not the stick

True. Sucks that companies have the same name for everything now cause it makes it a pain in the ass to search vapor xxx lite stick and get 36 pages of stuff about skates and gloves.

obviously "touch" isn't in the stick. the question was which of the two sticks could possibly help with that, a better "feel" if you will.

XXX-Lite. I like the feel a lot. The One90 let's you get a "heavier," if you will, slapper off. The VaporXXX lite is a nicer stick to stickhandle with IMO and is a perfectly good stick in terms of snap shots, wrist shots, etc. Just because one is made for "power" (one90) doesn't mean you can't rip a slapper with a XXX Lite, as it's definitely a great shooting stick if you line it up right, but if you don't make perfect contact, you can shank a slapshot, it's relatively unforgiving. It's really up to you and whatever you like the feel of most, but I prefer the XXX-Lite. The differences aren't too major, once you get used to either one you'll have a nice stick.

are you rough on your sticks? if so, dont go for the xxx-lite.

Judging by your height/weight and classification of yourself as a power forward, I would lean towards the One90...a lot of people have trouble with snapping XXX lites very easily.

Old issue. New ones aren't bad at all.

I personally would go for the ONE90. Very balenced and great kick off all of my shots

Hi there,

i´m having the One90 and it´s the best stick i´ve ever used.

I had the xxx-Lite before and its a good stick too but not what i´ve been looking for.

Try them and then see what fit´s you perfect.

Good luck

Bye

You want feel, go wood. You want touch, practice.

i had a one 90 and it lasted 6 monthes... longest any of my sticks ever lasted. its strong and tough and you can trust it shot after shot. ive had xxx's and a xxxx and u just dont feel as safe when u wind up for a big shot. i would recomend the one90... im about to pick another one up myself.

its deffinatly tougher than the xxx lite, the xxx lite is lighter but if ur a powerforward (like me) you should go witht he one90.

last year I had a xxx-lite, I was very exited to test the stick but after 15 mins of game time it was broken very good feel and pop from it but VERY poor durability and to pricy (year ago) for my wallet

how is the feel and stick handling comapred between the two sticks and anyone know the weight of the one90 i know the xxx-lite is 425 or around there how about the one90 and is it well balanced?

The ONE90 is perfectly balanced, it is very light but the XXX feels lighter. But the ONE90 is lighter than the XXXX

I'd say they come off about 2.7 mph faster on average.
