Quick help on new equipment

[XveritasX 13]

Alright so I am looking to replace some of my hockey stuff and needed some recommendations and questions answered.

First thing I need are some new shin pads. I have pretty much decided on either the Reebok 10k or 8k. I just don't really know what the difference really is between them, the site says an extended shin cap, so is the 10k just a little longer?

Also I am in need of a new stick. I am looking at either the X:60 or the one95 in a 77 flex. I am looking for a good all around stick, mainly for wrist shots and one timers with a small wind up. I want a stick with nice pop. While I have heard alot about the one95, i have not really heard alot of feedback on the x60 so any help would be really appreciated.

My advice is to go to your LHS and touch, feel, try on everything and buy. Also, you can't go wrong with either of the

two sticks you are considering; just buy one and worry about bringing your game up to the level of those sticks.
