Stick with a good pop?

[RaidersH0ckey 0]

I recently bought a Bauer Totalone MX3, Ovechkin Curve and 77 flex and I absolutely hate it. I can't get the puck off the ice nor can I get a hard as shot as I did when I had my apx2(broken). I was looking at the Rbz Superfast but then I heard Bauer's coming out with a new 1x stick... Do you guys have any recommendations? Oh and I mostly take slapshots and snapshots

what curve and flex was your apx2?

You switched kick points when you went from the APX2 to the MX3. Yes bauer is coming out with 1X stick and that is going to replace the APX2. The RBZ Superfast also has a different flex profile than the APX2. All things to keep in mind when selecting a stick.

The apx2 was a 87 flex and a p14 curve

Wierd, I can't shoot near as hard with the apx2 as k can an mx3

I'm waiting for the 1x, sounds legit

APX2s just went on sale for most of the major retailers, shame you had to drop that much scratch on a stick that doesn't work for you.

Sounds like you're a low kick kind of shooter, all of the Eastons I've used in the past few years (S19, Mako II and V9) are good for that purpose. My favorite was the Mako II, whippy as hell but a nice stiff blade.

Isn't the 1x suppose to be a better version of the apx2? Just a apx2 with qrt and a different blade?

low kick point or high kickpoint, you should still be able to get the puck off of the ground. Is it the same flex and curve??

The mx3 is a 77 flex, p92 curve

The apx2 is a 87 flex, p14 curve

I hate to be blunt, but if you can't get the puck off the ice with either of those curves, that's technique not the twig.

I can be the puck off the ice with the p14 curve but not the p92

Ohm, I have a fairly bad shot (my area of expertize is in front of the net) an I can lift the puck with any curve there is. Even with straight blade.

Are you serious that you blame the stick if you can elevate the shot?

*edit* I am now the blunt

If you cant get the puck off the ice its the archer not the arrow. Even if you can with a 'certain' stick i'd work on technique and not worry so much about the stick.
