The Inno will be a higher end stick. The Inno's are repainted Warrior sticks that are off spec a little bit - maybe the flex rating is off by a little or it's a few grams heavier. The Maniacs are really dolomites and I've been using those for several months. There are older threads that indicate what the thunderdomes are and if you search I'm sure you can find them.

The RM7 is middle of the line so will have more fibre than graphite and won't perform as well as the Inno. It'll probably also whip out/lose it's kick sooner. If you can find a curve and flex you like in the Inno sticks you should definitely grab one of those.

I did not like the Sherwood RM5 or RM7 OPS at all. Any Warrior (even the low end Johnson) was better. If the Inno is just a re-branded Warrior, I would try that. Good luck.

So, RM7 durability won't be as good as INNO?

Still doin some search on INNO maniac but if its really re-branded warrior higher end stick, i'll give it a shot.

I would go INNO.

INNO was the company that sold itself to New Balance to become Warrior Hockey in the first place. The low price aside, their twigs are still a pretty good from what I hear.

Also my buddy has an RM8 and it feels more like a lead pipe (barely any puck feel and very heavy) than a hockey stick. I'm not hating on Sher-Wood, in fact used to have an RM19 and loved it, but I find that their middle line sticks don't really set the bar for weight or agility.

those swd sticks were awful IMO. INNO gets my vote

Had a couple of rm7 OPS a few years back, used once before I got rif of them. Heavy and no feel. I'd take an Inno anyday.

The only good sticks value-wise from the Rhythm series I've heard is the RM9 and 19...that's only if you get them for 60, 70 bucks though, as they should be on clearance at the moment
