saw the V130 first time

[cobrAA 0]

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**.

well in my opinions this 2 1 inch of gel still do give a excellent feel to the si-core blade! :P

well better than the vector blade!!! :lol: Seriously, i really like the vector shaft the blueish is nice and the shape..flex no problem...nice kickpoint...but curve blade and the blade is sooo CRAP!!!!

and for people who said the V130 is a NORMAL COMPOSITE BLADE...i'm sorry but IN MY OPINIONS it look a lot more to the ABS vector blade!!!(v120)

Looks like the ABS core blade we've seen before. The bottom is hexagonal instead of rounded.

Got 12 of them today. Immediately called the CCM rep and requested for an R/A.

I may be stupid for asking, but whats R/A?

What was the problem with them? And did you say that your shop wasnt ordering them?

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 totally agree, i said that when i saw it a month ago, its a total dog...

Sorry, should've specified why I returned them. We cancelled them and they shipped anyway. I totally forgot to mention that.

isnt the v130 printed weight at 395? theres no way its as light as a stealth. whoever said "can you immagine some 1 buying a v130 over a Stealth or XN10.... very good point... no way. and espically at $215 (is what we have them at) not a chance.

I thought CCM/Jofa/Koho/Reebok didn't print the weights on their sticks.
