hockeyplayr19 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2008 The local Nike/Bauer Rep came in today and had the new One95 Stick with him. The stick is set to be available around the holidays, the same as the Vapor XXXX and One90 sticks the last few years. New all black graphics make the stick look amazing. The blade and lower part of the shaft look like it is spray painted black, something most pros do anyway. It was a 102 flex but was really whippy, other than that seemed pretty similar to the One90. Anyone else see it yet or have any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBLfan 25 Report post Posted April 3, 2008 I assume that it's similar to the S17 in that it is 102 cut X amount of inches. The idea being, trick people into whippier sticks and when you see the shots improve you claim it's the stick, not attributing it to the change in flex... Which is a great idea.Havent seen it but I assume I will hate it, I have a thing for low kickpoint sticks. They feel more natural and in my mind, I feel like my release is faster.

I also love that thing on the back of the S17's and XXXX's, maybe other sticks that has a chart for the stick flex with how much you cut it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bure401 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2008 Haven't seem him play all that recently (a few weeks now) but I'd imagine its the XXXX stick'um, which basically has an inverted XXXX color scheme, red up top, lightens up as you move towards the blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
