interpathway 9 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 Anyone else who has picked it up (literally, not as in purchasing necessarily) think that it is the slickest feeling stick ever? The one at my rink's LHS felt like it was covered in oil (or other slippery substance). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VakarLajos 5 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 most sticks have some kind of texture, this stick feels like it's been thoroughly sanded. Different feel for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
interpathway 9 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 Yeah, I was just so shocked as to how slippery it felt. Can't imagine myself using it, especially when my palms and the shaft are all wet from regular ice usage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan.paquette 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 I have it in a Spezza curve and it's one of the best feeling sticks I've used to date. It's not too light but definately lighter than wood and it also has remarkable balance to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the local LHS is selling theirs for $79 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tailboard Jockey 25 Report post Posted March 31, 2009 I bought one a few weeks ago, and mainly used it for coaching, and as a back-up stick. It's a great stick for the price ($85), and the PP 19 curve on mine is about as close as you can get to the Bauer P91 curve, which is my favorite. It's a Lie 5.5, although I would prefer a Lie 6. They also make it with a Coffey curve, if that's what you're into. I like the old-school look of it. B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirJW 207 Report post Posted March 31, 2009 I just got one at my LHS for $70. I don't use OPS much, I'm more of a wood blade and or stick guy but they are harder and harder to find so I took a chance and so far I like it, receiving passes pretty well and shots are good. Not sure if I notice a more velocity than my woodies but so far so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Invert 13 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Picked one up in the Coffey pattern at the local Perani's today. Absolutely hate it. Not sure if it is just too whippy or what, but I did not like the feel of it.Paid $79 for it. This baby is going on craigslist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
