XUHockey21 1 Report post Posted January 19, 2016 I hunted down a deal on both sticks, and would appreciate some input. The 30K is $90, the X80 is $70, so not a huge difference in price. My initial leaning is toward the 30K, as it looks to be a higher grade stick with better materials. But, as I said, I'd love to hear what you guys have to say. Thanks!

EBondo 233 Report post Posted January 19, 2016 Like TheGoose said, if you can hunt down a X100, go for that. That being said, the 30K was our best-selling stick in my store until the TRUE A4.5's came in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, since when did you start noticing it and with what sticks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XUHockey21 1 Report post Posted January 19, 2016 Get the x100 for $99.Where are you seeing this price? I can't find them for less than $130. Also, not in my curve. I did see an APX2 for $130, so that might be in the running as well, if my curve is in stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulawa 2 Report post Posted January 19, 2016 You should take a skate or a couple of shots in a gallery since Ribcore and Vapor sticks do have a different feel to them. I paid quite a bit for my tacks, owning a RibCore and 2 NXGs but it paid off, never touched another stick ever since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XUHockey21 1 Report post Posted January 19, 2016 I did demo a 1X and Reckoner yesterday. I hated the 1X and fell in love with the Reckoner. The problem there is I can't afford either one and I'm not sure how either stick translates to last year's models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So go with the APX2 family or a first gen RibCore and you should be generally fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
