JR Boucicaut 3797 Report post Posted January 20, 2010 If Crosby really wanted the blade, Reebok would make it for him.The shaft wasn't even Reebok. I think Kariya still uses that sexy lil Ultra Lite.Yeah, but he's somewhat the exception to the rule. He uses a 2-pc, however, is epoxied at the factory. They are shipped complete to him, so he essentially has a 1-piece 2-piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ovechkin_368 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 Kubina was using a two piece in Toronto, started with a clearly wood blade, then started to get darker so it looked like an OPS (though it wasn't). I assume he's still using the two-piece.I have one of his 2 piece easton's from when he played on tampa, and I think spezza was using a sherwood with a wood blade for a little bit but im not sure if it was a hyrbid or not. But then again spezza is a whole other can of worms... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fedorov91 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2010 I honestly think that a top of the line shaft & blade combo is just as good as a 1-piece as far as performance goes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SolarWind 23 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 kyle wellwood uses 2 piece with a wooden bladeit's hard to replace a feel for the wood! Took me a long time to adjust to OPS, but it paid back at the end - shots are harder & more consistent, plus I don't have to deal with blades splitting everey 6 or so gamesbefore I went to OPS I tried 2 piece One95 (already had the shaft, just put composite blade in to try) but don't like it nearly as much as One95 OPS...
