Morten 2 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 Salmings new high end stick."A state of the art elite stick fully equipped with innovative technology. The WRTX stick is engineered to give you harder shots and better accuracy. WRTX, the twisted part of the shaft, stands for an extra torsional stifness that has been added in order to make the area below the twist area to work even harder. Thus creating a whip effect - more power! This performance package will more than likely give you a new weapon of choice."What do you think?Pictures from hockeymonkey EU's facebook.http://www.hockeymon...tx-grip-sr.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
interpathway 9 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 Wow, a nod to Hespeler's old blade technology around the turn of the millennium. I'd love to whip it through the paces but doubt it'd be enough to switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazyhick 19 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 that looks really interesting to try. are they claiming it to be a mid or low kick-point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AIREAYE 248 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 Looks like a churro...mmm churro.Makes sense in theory, torsional forces are rotational after all, and if you consider Newton's 3rd law, the way the stick twists should be in direct opposite with the way the stick torques blah blah blah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harv 86 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 The way I look at this is, if Bauer or Easton produced something like this, people would be dishing out their life saving to buy it and claiming it's the most brilliant idea ever. I'm interested, but I'd have to see proven results. Getting people to try it will be the biggest hurdle for this stick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting people to try it will be the biggest hurdle for this stick.Agreed with your other point, but I don't think getting people to try stuff will be hard; there will always be those curious. It's the part where they have to convince users to choose Salming over their Bauers and Eastons that will be hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tareatingrat 4 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 I have a Salming M11 KZN, where it curves in around the same point that the above stick twists.It's a good stick, kicks low, fairly accurately. Feel is pretty good.However, I only bought it because it was on clearance at a LHS around here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's shape shouldn't have any effect via Newton's 3rd law. By that logic I could curve the bottom of the shaft backwards and claim catapult action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Empieee 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 it looks really weird, I wonder what the difference will be in: feel, shooting, receiving passes etc. Cause a twist like that should have a good reason behind it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By that logic I could curve the bottom of the shaft backwards and claim catapult action.I was trying to say that the torsional forces when loading are intended to be counteracted via the twists.

snailmale 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 It would be pretty interesting to see floorball stick technology imported into hockey actually. For a number of years now, floorball sticks have come with numerous tweaks to the shafts, such as a bowed (curved) shaft (Unihoc and Fatpipe), carbon bubbles to modify flex point (Unihoc) and shaft with holes for aerodynamic purposes (Exel). I'm not sure if these features really added a lot to the sticks, but they definitely modified the feel significantly. I was a fan of the curved shaft from Unihoc myself.
