Gionta Pro Stock Stick

[Dolom1te 0]

My friend picked up a Gionta Pro Stock stick from our lhs and was wondering if anyone knew what kind of stick it really is. it is painted as a dolomite dd, but it is not tapered and is a square shaft. It is easily visible that it is fused at the blade and has little to no flex. i will let you guys know the codes when he tells me, but for now i was just wondering if anyone had knowledge of this already.

thanks for the help,

Chris

Their are a number of variations with pro stock Warrior shaft shapes, so just because it is square it could very well be a Dolomite still, but the code will help verify everything.

So basically it's a fused standard shaft/blade combo?

On another thread Scotty described what players can do with their warrior sticks

For example, a lot of players use Warrior sticks. The stick may say that it is a Dolomite, but Warrior offers over 1,300 different blade patterns. A pro can have their own blade made however they like. Warrior also offers them 6 different shaft profiles, such as straight walls with rounded corners, concave or convex shafts (walls bowed in our out), super boxy shafts like the ones used by Kovalchuk or Shanahan (to replicate his old aluminum shaft shape), very large-diameter shafts for guys like Chara, etc. And if they don't have a kind a player wants, they'll make it and add it to their arsenal. Warrior offers 7 different outer finishes of possible grip, such as Super tack, Grip, Soft Grip, Velvet Grip, PolarFibre, SharkSkin, or Clearcoat. They offer flexes ranging from 50 and going in 5-point increments (70, 75, 80, 85, etc) all the way up to 140+. And there are 6 different blade formats that a player can choose from to change the feel of their blade that include various foams, stiffeners, and different epoxy resins. They'll also use different systems of stick manufacturing to determine how lively or dampened a stick will feel. The equipment manager that services Holmstrom's account with Warrior said that he likes a heavy stick that feels like wood, so his stick uses more fiberglass content in it to deaden it a bit, as well as a special blade mentioned above and the fact that it is basically a fused shaft and blade to further determine feel.

It will be pretty hard to determine a retail equivlent with most sticks that have been made to the players specs. You could say many of them are LOOSELY based on a dolo
