Stastny Pro Stock - Paul or Yan?

[Leafsrule16 5]

Today I picked up two pro stock sticks for $60 each, they are both sherwood momentum x comps with the letters ds carbon on them and are stamped 'Stastny'. They are blue and about 65 inches long before i cut them, left handed with a fairly straight blade on it, no fancy curve or anything. I was wondering, who would be the person these were made for? They have wooden blades by the way and are black at the bottom.

They look 2 piece but its actually a wooden blade fused onto a shaft?

I saw some Stastny's in the Pepsi Center store last time I was there. Black Sherwoods for sure but I don't remember what the curve looked like.

Oh, the guy at the shop just told me they were pro stock i didnt know any different and they felt pretty solid for the price, im using one for road hockey probably going to use the other for pond.

on the top side of the shaft it does say "SOP" ?

Yes, and it has a fully wooden blade. I compared it to a regular momentum and its quite a bit different even though they look similar.

I am going to take a guess and say those are pro stock samples designed for "Yan Stastny". I did a bit of research on Getty Images and the blade on your picture looks pretty similar to Yan's blade. A high blade (which helps prevents the puck from hopping over the blade). I have never seen a retail stick/blade that is high throughout. Anyways, his brother Paul uses a more thinner/shorter height blade.

How about helping the members here and take a couple pictures of his curve and blade profile (lie and blade shape). How stiff would you say these sticks are ?

Regarding your question about whether the blade is fused in or not, I find that most pro stock shaft/wood blade combos are fused. I guess when the blade is gone you can heat it up and give it a pull.
