CCM Ribcor Trigger 3D PMT Stick

[VegasHockey 1280]

Has anyone had a chance to touch one of these yet? One of the guys I skate with had one, he is a CCM rep, I wanted to check it out after our skate but he left in such a hurry I didn't want to bother him. Seemed to load like a Warrior QRE as he had a wicked snapper.

His wicked snapper is probably because he has good mechanics.

Will the spear construction be used at all price points?

Saw the video and didn’t see a Knouff of a change between previous models to justify.  CCM likes to use the word optimize a lot which to me sounds like it wasn’t big enough of a change to collect something else.I think the frequency of stick releases lately  is too much. 1.5 to 2 years Is where it should be at

Only the Pro3 PMT is also speared, the rest are fused.

Optimized means slightly less weight.

Bumping up the thread.

 

More people with experience of the newest Ribcor? How do you liked it?

I’d really like to know how it compares to the 1X.

There were some guys at Winterfest who used it as we had demo product from CCM there.  Perhaps they can chime in.

I ended up doing a few of custom orders of the new Ribcor 3D and have been very impressed with it. I kinda went a little nuts though with the customization.

I've had the Trigger 3D since Black Friday. It loads a lot easier than the Trigger 2. As Nicholas G mentioned, it does load similarly to a Warrior QRE, but to me, the Warrior stick still feels whippier and still loads better. In terms of puckfeel, the Trigger 3D takes it. Overall, I really like it.

Do you think it loads easily enough that someone could go up in flex?  I have a 75 flex Trigger 2 that loads pretty easily for me, almost too whippy.  Could I go with an 85 in a T3D?  Or is it more of a faster and easier load and release than a softer flex?  There's that difference between having that whippy feeling and loading like a 75, but releasing and having the stiffness feel of an 85.

As someone else asked upthread, have you tried a 1X?  how does it compare if you have.  I found that 1X to load easily without being soft and released quickly without that whippy feeling.  I'd stay with them but Bauer doesn't offer P30.  I held the T3D and flexed it a little in the store. It does have that stiffer but easily loaded feeling, vs what the T2 has being more of a whippy feeling. But it’s so hard to tell from just that little bit.

The reviews I saw say they smoothed out the transition from the upper shaft to the kick point. You can definitely feel that, especially if you can compare them side by side. And that's what makes it feel easier to load.  

As for going up in flex, if you find the T2 almost too whippy, then you might find the T3 to be too whippy. It's hard for me to say by how much because I like using whippy sticks so I always err on the side of more whippy. 

I have a 1x. I haven't used it in a while, but I found it to be a little on the stuff side for my tastes, so maybe you can use that as a gauge on just how whippy the T3 will feel to you.

I got a Pro3. I know cutting sticks is all the rage lately but I decided to keep the extra length for now. I may end up cutting later but it feels great. It really launches bombs.

I pulled the "trigger" and ordered one of these online, in a 75 flex. Can't wait to try it out. It sure advertises well for the price point...

 

Previous stick is an old vapor APX.

Let us know.  I'm interested to see how you feel it plays vs the APX.
