Easton EQ50 Stick

[Scotty 8]

Someday I'm going to have to actually try an Easton OPS.

Any word if the end plugs will be sold separately? Would be fun to try out.

It was said a while back in another thread that they would indeed be sold separately.

Any updates on this stick? With the shop I worked at now out of business, I'm out of the loop with most things hockey equipment related nowadays. :(

Let you know Aug 1.

[Krev 86]

Sahweet, thanks JR.

[raganblink 82]

we're going to have a product not get leaked early? Finally. LOL

Don't underestimate the power of PHEW

[raganblink 82]

True. When the reps finish making the rounds I'm sure we'll have one moron take a pic of it and the catalog.

JR, do you know why they don't seem to be enforcing it anymore (not allowing to leak product early)? IIRC the kid who took the photo of the x60 got fired and the shop was in trouble with bauer. I would love to see that happen to the idiot who took the photo of the LEone100.

[Krev 86]

PHEW will naturally leak it early, just like they always do because they have no respect for the reps or the companies.

And that's why... nevermind, just check back on August 1st.

Can t wait to see the white S17 :)

Thanks Chadd. :P

Ain't that the truth

Oh man, are they getting back into vibration dampening systems AGAIN? That little piece of silicone in the blade didn't teach Easton the last time? This better be good...

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

No. It's a weighted system that affects stick balance.

Who knows at this point. Nobody has scruples anymore - I think they have come to grips with the fact that it's going to leak, no matter how airtight things seem to be.

I know the deal. I've sat in on viewings in which I've had to sign a NDA. I've had to check in my cellphone. 8 years ago, I was that guy. But I grew up.

After Aug 1, you'll see the difference between adults and kids.

All these little teasers and such are making me super excited!

Edit: Is it bad form to "that's what she said" your own post? ah screw it!

That's what she said!

I saw the EQ50 OPS today. The stick had a good feel in your hands, as Easton always does for me. The balance felt great. The stick and entire line looks awesome for graphics. The new technology also looks great on the stick for presentation purposes. Easton will continue to run strong in OPS.

[Krev 86]

Easton has always done well with graphics. Glad to hear it's going to to be an awesome stick. Can't wait to see it in person.

Is this gonna be in the S19 price range or more in the SE16 range?

[DarkStar50 680]

SE16, which is a huge plus!

[cemetery 14]

Sounds interesting, any word on the available flexes that will be offered for senior sizes?

[DarkStar50 680]

Usual suspects.

[Krev 86]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

[jds 20]

And this new stick will make my shot quicker, harder and more accurate, correct? :P

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

*bites tongue*

[flyweightphantom 1]

Usual suspects.

How about any word on new/old curves such as a gaborik type? Or will the closest thing be something like a chara?

[DarkStar50 680]

Names change, that's all. Sakic = Hall, Drury = Parise.
