well,nothing major but i thought we could do a topic about we all ready receive V130 at their LHS

well it felt EXACTLY like a V120 ...same *shit* grip(did not look if it was like the v120 ...a sticker)the height felt the same as the v120(well maybe a bit blade lighter but nothing major!!!) same curve pattern..same shaft shape and price...280$CND plus 15% of tax!!

not impressed at all!!! lolz(since i'm a fan of every CCM stuff... )

i knew it was going to be sh!t once i saw the color sheme

[JGraz15 55]

Did the blade look more like a Response/Synergy blade or more like the CCM ABS ones?

[LkptTiger 1]

i knew it was going to be sh!t once i saw the color sheme

Yeah...because we all know that black and silver just DO NOT perform the way some of the other colors do. Look at the Easton Si-Core: it's ORANGE!

[Ogie Oglethorpe 14]

Is it still coated with cheesy stickers (as opposed to real paint)?

[cobrAA 0]

Graz,it look way more like my v20 blade...ABS CCM

Oqie,the grip is the same as the v120...but i did not really look at the grip job.but when i hold it it feel like the v120 sticker!i did not check if i can peel off easy like on the v120

I said that becasue they basically copied the stealth colors. I had some doubt on the stick. Put now that he said that stuff that really pulls me away from the stick.

you have to admit kovy, what he said was pretty... intelligent

about the stick, i thought CCM was coming out with a regular composite blade, at least that's what a picture i saw looked like, it was black and looked like carbon fibre braid

My freind who's a rep said he met with the guys from CCM at one of the big conventions. They had a whole set-up with a cannon and a bunch of V130 sticks propped up in the air. The cannon shot pucks into the center of a Si-Core blade, a regular Synergy blade, and a few other manuf blades and (of course) the new V130 composite blade was the most durable. They also had a Si-Core blade sawed in-half, and the gel-stuff stuff inside the si-core blade was two 1 inch by 1 inch squares at the very top of the blade. They made the point of "how can this increase puck feel?" Regardless if the V130 does turn out to be like the V120 in terms of a giant sticker for graphics, and having 2nd graders from Mexico painting on cheap rubber cement for grip, they can take their whopping two feet taper and shove it up their a**.

[JGraz15 55]

So do you like Easton sticks or CCM's?

Apparently those strips do increase feel, or at least get rid of the pingyness of the blade. Either that or it's all psychological and it's the orangeness that increases feel. For 2005-2006, easton's new slogan- orangeness is spreading.

Actually I thought the orange-ness was disappearing for 2005

The orange probably is disappearing for 2005. I haven't been paying attention much because I don't like one pieces.

CCM's sticks are made in Canada. Not everyone makes their sticks in Mexico.

That is most likely why their stcks are over-priced. What is the retail for the 130 anyway
