skyscrape 5 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 A lot of the curve pictures look the same. Plus it is kind of a weird angle to look at the blade. Real pictures of the curves would be nice. I do like the variance of flex 80-120. What are the sticks going to sell for and who is selling their equipment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A friend of mine was the downhill ski product manager a few years back. I'm would assume that sticks will be distributed by another group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

althoma1 574 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 It's interesting that the RT stick and blades, which are one down from the top of the line, have blades with ABS in them. A high performance stick with a blade that will hold up better than average on smooth concrete would appeal to ball hockey and roller hockey players that use that surface.As others have said, they could use better curve pictures. I'd also like to see the lie of each curve listed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xFortune 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2011 Pretty good price point and I really like the #23 blade pattern. And heh, seeing the logo on the sticks one word comes to mind:Tri-force. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrruin 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2011 Living in europe I have used one of their shafts (Vacuum GL 90flex) for a while and back then it has performed very well for me. Well built, very lightweight and a good kick. For a time the OPS they offered in the LHS were one of the best selling sticks they had. Great performance for the price. However some had problems with their blades splitting at the heel (the white Vacuum GL OPS) and since Fischer has not been very forthcoming with replacements or compensations the LHS decided to cancel their involvement with Fischer. A pity really since from a price/performance point of view the sticks are still unbeaten.I hope they have improved their service since it is my impression NA customers put a lot more weight into good service from a company.

Your bad tho, because 6.5 lie discouraged me of buying GL model (former top model) and eventually I've finnised up with other brand two piece solution...Hello,I'd like to ask about your top composite hockey sticks since I couldnt find this info in product descriptions.1) What is weight of your top two models (GL, RT Grip) based on regular flex?GL will run out coming season, and will be replaced by SX 3, weight around 480 -490 grams, in 90 flex. RT is 500 grams.2) What is your grip like? What other brand can you compare it with/ is close to?[Puschacher Michael] sorry, this is almost impossible to compare, but I can tell you that we will have a new grip which could be similar to Bauer.3) What "lie" (angle between shaft and blade) do your sticks have?[Puschacher Michael] basicall we use 6,5. Just for pattern 11 we use 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
