pro return dolomites at hockeymonkey.com

Unless I'm blind, hockeymonkey is sold out of the Dolomites.

the inno maniac pro at paranis is awesome for $49, it felt like a vapor xxx lite to me (more than the graphics). And the fact that is shorter than intermediate length at 70 flex is also a major plus.

those inno maniac lites are like prostocks or something,--at least at my peranis theyre all different curves shaft shapes, heights, flexes, blades(12, 3k, painted over).

One of my buddies just bought some Inno sticks but they have never been big in our area. I've seen a bunch of guys on MSH talk about Inno and seem to like them. Can you tell me a bit about Inno? I thought they were bought out by Warrior a few years ago.

Where did your buddy manage to snag some Innovative twigs?

He was in Rochester. I think Hockeyworld.

I think the one I was at had mostly retail patterns and standard 180-300 flexes, looked all the same construction-wise

i've been told that they are over run dolomites. they are also fused ops.

the story on them is (correct me if i'm wrong) the same as the winwell sticks. in mexico manufactors have to pay tax on all inventory so theydon't want it taking up space in the warehouse. so they sell it cheap and put what ever logo the buyer wants on it. its better than paying tax on it and having it take up space.

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

Exactly what it is.

Hey guys about 2 years ago i took a gamble and bought an innovative true one kovalev curve i think it was a 110 flex and i fell in love with it, it lasted ayear before the blade split, Does anyone know where i can get another one?? i've looked everywhere

I think the True One is the same as the Warrior Mac Daddy, but don't take my word for it.

EDIT: yes, it is

So let me get this straight, the inno maniac is just a repainted dolomite?

I cut the blade off one a couple days ago to see if i could turn it into a shaft, and there was no tenon the shaft appeared to taper right into the blade. That would make me think its not a fused ops unless I'm not understanding the definition of a fused ops right (totally possible)...

It's an Innovative 1100/older Bauer XX/Warrior Dolomite that, for whatever reason, wasn't sent out to be sold. Out of spec flex, pattern errors, change in specs from the company, cut to the wrong length... could be any number of reasons. With that said, it's a $150 stick for 1/3 the price, take it for what it is.

while we're on the topic, what exactly is that "megalyte" stick that Hockey World has these days?

its got no warranty, so I assume its a factory second but of what?

I bought a Megalyte and I'm fairly certain it's a MacDaddy. I pulled off the end cap and it says MDSR (MacDaddy Senior) on the inside. Also, the blade is the same as the MacDaddy and it's just a really high-quality stick for the price; very light and feels good in the hands (pretty sure it's a true one-piece stick as well). I'm about to pick up more before they're gone.

Looking for a Kovalev Curve

[A2rhino 62]

I still have a Mogilny 300 flex 1100 never used. I prefer the feel of the Easton Elite 2 piece.

Has anyone tried to put a new blade into an Inno Maniac?

I've read the topic on cutting an ops but for the most part it seems to be dealing with fused ops's which I dont think this is.

I just picked up a blade to try and put in this shaft, if there isn't a tenon should I just proceed to cut up the shaft till it fits?

Right now I think there is about 12mm between the inside walls, from what I have read I need it to be atleast 14mm to fit a tapered blade.

I'll try and get some pictures later if that helps.

Thanks.

sorry i did not respond sooner. in the case of a true ops you just cut until it fits cutting only a small amount at a time. a fused ops is one where a blade is installed at the factory with some type of exoxy. what it is is realy a 2 piece that the fuse point is painted over to look like a ops. anothe way to tell is if you shine a flash light down the shaft and see a line or a tennon then it is a fused ops.
