Hockey Fan 51 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2008 Head rumblings about a 5030 composite stick with a wooden look similar to the Nike Bauer Woody. Anyone seen it? Curious as to what it'll be like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

start_today 773 Report post Posted October 17, 2008 I assume if it's called 5030 it's probably going to be a pretty low end stick. That doesn't seem like something to get real excited about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It felt very blade heavy though.that's about how I've felt about all of the SWD OPS.Ditto. The RM19 SOP is quite blade heavy. But I had some prostock RM19s that were incredibly light and perfectly balanced. Actually, my RM9 is lighter and better balanced than the RM19 SOP! Wonder how much these 5030 OPS are gonna sell for... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trained_seal 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2008 It should be interesting to see how this turns out. I was very disappointed with the pro-stock RM19s I've had (I haven't gotten my hands on a retail) but the pro stocks are ridiculously blade heavy. Hopefully sherwood pulls this one off, and then brings out another decent shaft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodstick 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2008 I saw this new Sher-Wood 5030 Composite stick selling for $99.99 at my local Play-It-Again Sports. They only had a few of these right-handed sticks. They all had atypical Sher-Wood blade patterns (wasn't a Coffey curve, didn't look like Crosby, etc.). The curve was pretty mild. I thought the stick felt pretty comfortable and it had a decent flex - probably around a 90 (I don't believe it listed a flex). There was a sign/advertisement that made it sound like these sticks were made to feel similar to a wooden 5030. It had wood grain painting/designs on it - from a distance it would be difficult to tell that it wasn't a true wood one-piece.My initial impression is that it was an attractive looking stick that had a good price for its feel (didn't feel like a cheap & heavy low-end composite that sells for about 100 bucks). I will buy one if I can find a lefty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thejackal 46 Report post Posted November 10, 2008 AFAIK it was arounf 85$CDN at a LHS. pretty hefty feel with a very fine wood type finish. seemed like a nice stick for the price, if it lasts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lampliter87 8 Report post Posted November 10, 2008 Saw one at Pro Hockey Life and wasn't overly impressed. It does look almost exactly like a woody (my dad wanted to know why a wood stick was $90 until we actually picked it up), but is pretty heavy. Closeout R8's are a lot better for the money :) .

I've heard they are about the same weight as the RM9....No way they are the same weight as the RM9s for $100. I'd be interested to hear feedback from someone who's tried one on the ice though.

flyerman 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2008 Yeah, I am skeptical as well for that price. I bet it's closer to the weight of the RM7s, even though I was told otherwise.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
interpathway 9 Report post Posted November 17, 2008 It might just be the 'wow' factor, but I think that thing looks great! Unfortunately I'm not a huge fan of Sherwood OPSs (RM9 at least). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mgoblue 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2009 It's certainly a beautiful piece of lumber. I'm tempted to add one to my current online order so that I'll get free shipping. And yes, adding the stick would outweigh the cost of shipping in the first place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dez 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2009 saw it in LHS and this stick is really neatly done. it is heavier stick but similar to others at the same price range. I think this stick is more like a novelty item to have/collect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
