hey guys i was wondering if any of you have ever used a Trilage Velocity hockey stick and what you thought of it and if it improved your game at all....cause i have heard some good things about this stick..

thanks :D

I heard that you had to have special gloves that were shaped like triangles to use it. But I dont know.

I don't think it's that successful, knowing the fact that only one no-name NHLer uses one.

I for one would be interested in trying it out. Depending on the price I suppose. Theres lots of good equipment out there that aren't popular in the 'L' and I think its nice having gear that others haven't heard of, especially if it does perform well or at least comparably.

Just checked out the website to refresh my memory of the stick. The stick with regard to the hosel is different from what I imagined. I like the way you can zoom in on different parts of the stick on the website too.

Yes, I bought one once for $10 in a bargain bucket (new). It was junk. Might be a different story if you'd never used a stick before, but it was huge in my palms and totally sucked for slap or snap shots (IMMO). I can see the theory behind the design, but couldn't see the results.

Anyone have pics of this stick?

[Ogie Oglethorpe 14]

Well, I wasn't aware that they'd come out with a new design (check out their website http://www.trilage.com/main.htm)

I think the old one was called the Velocity, but am unsure. Regardless, the shaft was literally triangular in shape. Quite funky.

i knew a persom who tried the trilage (triangle) shaft. you literally couldn't flex it

[korolyuk14 0]

ive used one. Its supposed to make your snap and wrist shot better by making you roll your wrist more. hence the triangle shape

http://www.trilage.com/main.htm (products, then tz4)

...second for those of you who have tried these what do you think. Durability? Performance? Shaft shape?

Thanks

The ones at the show were shaped more like a piece of elbow macaroni. It's an interesting concept but hard to shell out that much money on an interesting concept.

It looks like Trevor Daley will be using Trilage sticks this year again. That's all he had at the Stars prospect camp. He used to be a Synergy grip guy.

Also, it seems like he's one of names from their site.

I've seen that trick before.

Bauer used to make shafts that were concave on one side and convex on the other?

And Noviuses have that shape at the bottom of the shaft.

These Trilages look like a marriage between the two ideas.

I thought they stopped makeing those piece of crap sticks i havent seen one in a store in years..........

I had one when I was in Squirt or my last year of Mite, can't remember. Anyway, its huge in your hands (I had the 'Junior' version) and takes a while to get used to. But hey, its an alternative if you aren't interested in the major brand OPS'

I used the old nike quest 3's like that freshman year. I liked them a lot acutally.

[twiztidwrista10 3]

Whats the grip like on the trilage OPS??

[Ogie Oglethorpe 14]

Weird... I saw Trevor Daley (Dallas Stars) using one of the new Trilage ops. I would have never thought a pro would use one of those things....

[hehatemefrisbee 0]

Why not? When I saw them I was impressed. Its an inno with the convex-concave shape. It feels realy nice in your hands.

In one of the pics in the NHL gallery Manny Malhotra is using one.

Darcy Tucker was using a Trilage last night v. Boston.

There was a pic of Brad May trying out one as well at the Av's preseason camp (not in the NHL gallery here but on ESPN's website).

Inno makes the triangular, TRILAGE sticks? Are you sure?

As for why not, because I've used one of their shafts, and it's quite alien.....

The performance wasn't good either, but that is likely got to do with adjusting to the different shaft shape and characteristics (Dailey's shots did not look all that impressive with it either - but I don't know how long he's been trying it).

I'm thinking that the shape might make wrist shots easier, though.
