Dip_N_Dangles27 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 Anyone have any pictures of this Reebok 8.0.8 Stick. Darren Helm (Detriot Red Wings) was using one for the whole playoffs and it apparently hasn't been approved by the NHL. It worked for Helm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dip_N_Dangles27 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 That's what I heard from TSN's analyst Darren Dreger. There were two players using it in game 7. Probably Helm and "Dats". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raygunpk 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 No I remember people on here talking about him using it way back in the regular season. Maybe that was the 10k.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dip_N_Dangles27 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 10K is no big deal. I was using prostock 10K's all year last year, they're much different from the regular warrantied 10K's in stores now. But I'd like to know more about this twig and see if anyone's got pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dip_N_Dangles27 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 Pretty much a 10K combined with the 9K. 10K design with the "holes" concept. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darshu 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 Tyler Kennedy used one all through the playoffs too, with the lower portion blacked-out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBLfan 25 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 It was used earlier than the playoffs. Hell, I had mine back in February. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sarmalidu 1 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 Maybe it's just me but I do not see how this design could be helpful in any way. Seems like a gimmick, plain and simple. /shrug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K9 Unit 1 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 being a o stick user....the power part their selling is really a gimmick its not gonna surprise you with its shooting ability's, but the holes really helps the balance out and make it feel lighter and it does stiffen up the stick quite a bit...as you know arches is the strongest architectural thingy there is...it just tends to break above the holes :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
