Good Quality Outdoor Stick

[5HoleMadman 6]

I tried searching the threads already and couldn't find any topics that match what I'm looking for. So don't get mad people.

I'm looking for a good quality outdoor stick that I can use, that's not heavy like a log. After being spoiled using the all composite stick's for indoor, I just don't really like the older resin types of blades.

Any ideas for a good OPS or composite blade that will handle outdoor? I play at a park here in So. Cal. so it's not asphalt, but more like a smooth cement. I used to use a CCM v110 but I like a more square type stick and it was a little to convex for me. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Composite shaft and Koho Crossover blade or similar.

Anything with an ABS core, bottom. Vectors will work the best (V08)

So the new Vectors will be okay, just like the old ones?

Also, what's the ccm clone of easton's sakic?

Sorry, Scratch that I found the answer to the curve question...

No, not all of the Vectors. Be careful, the top one has a full comp blade now. I would take a look at the Vector V08 and Vector V8.0/V6.0 from last year.

You can probably get away with doing a shaft/wood blade combo for the polished concrete. As long as you're not too rough on them, they'll hold up, and be lighter and have better feel than the ABS/combo blades. I've been using wood blades on asphalt for about 3 years now, and they work just fine for me.

if you have any old composite blades you dont care about and are playing with a ball, you should just use that composite blade. I used a synergy II shaft with the syn II blade at my outdoor rink which has a concrete surface and the blade lasted me about 15 games. I found that after the initial wear of the bottom of the blade, the rest of the blade lasted pretty well. It didnt get too soft and the stuff inside the blade didnt fall out.

Thanks for all the help guys. I gusee I'm just gonna use my easton syn II blade. It's old and I figure why not. I appreciate all the help. Thanks again.
