Remember that the 11k PRO and the 11k RETAIL are made by two different companies

Well aware. The retail is CCM's old manufacturer and pro is TT?

Is there any indication as to what the reasoning is behind this decision? A better quality, and presumably more expensive, product for the pros than at retail?

Was the 10k PRO made by TT?

[MattKingDelToro 2]

Got a chance to handle a retail 11K at Hockey Monkey the other day. Felt very light and maybe a bit more balanced than the 10K. Definitely a great-looking stick.

[kenneth 5]

Correct.

It is my understanding that the product that the pro players preferred was from the certain factory.

Have all reebok model been made by the old CCM manufacturer? Or just when they switched from RBK to Reebok line?

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

Correct.

It is my understanding that the product that the pro players preferred was from the certain factory.

I was told by a potential endorsed player that he was told they used different materials as well in the pro version.

Seeing as they feel entirely different and give different puck feels, that doesn't surprise me in the least.

FYI, the Rangers moved to a new facility along the Hudson a few seasons ago.

Yes I couldn't think of the name of the town. This is not open to the public at all.

More shots of the 11K

Nice find...looks like the NHL 11 screenshots were right on.

[kenneth 5]

No, Kor is/has been out of business for a few years now and the stick production was transitioned to other factories around the world.

would you happen to know who manufactured the vector v110-130 10.0 line? thanks

[Tommyj214 3]

Yes.

i swear the V110s were the most durbale sticks ever made

[kenneth 5]

Yes.

pre tell :)

[larrivee 3]

Nothing too crazy here, but some better looks at the TBL colored X:60's.

Also, Mattias Ohlund switched from Eagle to Warrior. Misjeu (sp?), are those real leather?

The last few days there have been a rotating group from various teams having informal practice sessions here in Tampa. Some ex TBL players, some not, some new TBL players, and a few current TBL players. Brad Richards was skating yesterday, kind of neat to see iom back in town.

It's probably been talked about, but I got to see the Total One stick in person today. One of the coaches plays junior, his team sent him one. It was lefty, so I couldn't try it, but from just holding it, playing around with it, I'm very impressed. I'll definitely be getting one.

[dumbpolak9 1]

just outta curiosity what stick is St. Louie using

[DolomaticDangles 13]

looks like a yellow ST

[twolinepass 0]

what sticks are those?

[Dupes 1]

EQ50 :)

[JGraz15 53]

What skates are Setoguchi wearing? Are those Eastons?

[AIREAYE 248]

They look like Flexlites to me. And I'm curious as to the players' take on the customized balance system on the EQ50s, aren't their sticks already customized so heavily that the balance thing would be redundant?

Just because it's in the retail stick does not mean it's in the pro stick.

I'd guess that the vast majority of EQ50s we see in the NHL really aren't EQ50s, but rather Synergy SEs and STs repainted like they have ben for years. The pros don't use the gimmicky retail stuff.

[larrivee 3]

St Louis sticks are repaints, or have been in the past. Tblfan has a couple with no stickers at all. I think they were original syn bombs.

[hellaavangard 33]

looks like the KHL might've banned the Jofa Gretzky lid, Jagr with a major gear "overhaul" for the first time in years, Totalones (not as big of a surprise as he'd been staying current with the Supreme line skates) RBK helmet, CCM 4 rolls (finally threw out his DR Rangers gloves) and a Combat stick, pretty wild to see
