the_sock 1 Report post Posted March 30, 2012 Specs will have to wait until CCM is ready to release them. For now they are going to slowly release the stick to select number of younger NHLers. You'll just have to wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 65 Report post Posted March 30, 2012 I bet the stick the guys are using is not anything like what the finished retail product will be. It seems like such a high percentage of pro sticks aren't what they are labelled as anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_sock 1 Report post Posted March 30, 2012 While that is true (ONE95 dressed as TotalOnes and ST/SE16 as the S19 and RS), the RBZ sticks used in the show are the final retail specs. They are using the true stick that will be relased to retail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noodle3872 40 Report post Posted March 30, 2012 I just like saying "Rocket Balls"How do you feel about "Rocketbladz" because that is what the stick is being called. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joker518 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2012 Coming from a golf perspective, the RBZ Rocket Ballz nonsense has been going on for 6 months now so I can't help but think ROCKET BALLZ whenever I see "RBZ", but that's just me personally. "Rocketbladz" is a lot less ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drewptwo 1 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 Our CCM/Reebok rep came in this week with this stick and its pretty sick. It will be interesting to see how the stick's feel is considering the are not injecting any foam into the blade, but they have put quite a few more composite ribs in teh blade than there traditionally are. Overall initial thought is the stick should have a lot of pop and the balance is pretty decent. They are also introducing a Sr 70 flex to the equation with this stick.

EBondo 233 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 Because some people prefer black tape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBP 18 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 The RBZ has (will have) a very unique concept in it's flex profile. It will not be defined by a specific flex point on the shaft. Very interesting stuff. It is ( wiil be) definitely a revolution in design as mentioned. It's pretty cool to feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Axxion89 32 Report post Posted April 20, 2012 I still can't possibly see how the white stick is going to hide anything considering if you look at the picture Noodle posted above on the page, you can clearly see the stick with the ice having no effect on hiding it much at all.

steelnation248 102 Report post Posted April 20, 2012 Some players look for whatever slight advantage they can have. It may help a ton, but if someone feels that it helps a bit, then they're going to stick with it. To each their own I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
