northof60 1 Report post Posted February 27, 2020 So, I picked up 2 of these for $400 Canadian. I know they aren't "real" FT2 sticks, but can someone tell.me what they are, and how they're different from my retail FT2 p29. The curve seems to be very, very slightly different. They are marked 85 flex but feel closer to 75 (a good thing) and I've got no idea what LK means. Also the blade weave looks different. https://m.imgur.com/a/pGAjRMj Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BruinDust 42 Report post Posted February 27, 2020 The stick(s) you have aren't made from Sigma-tex like the retail FT2. I believe they are CCM's 12K weave, which I think (and I could be wrong) was CCM's top material before 2017 and the introduction of Sigma-tex. And LK stands for low-kick, so your stick has an engineered low-kick point as oppose to the hybrid kickpoint found on the retail FT2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The top of the line sticks in my town (ft2, flylite) are 320 and 350 each. Hoping these sticks last a little longer than the ft2 I had which broke in like 2 months of shitty mens league and one high level tournament. I wont have a chance to use these until monday. Its my understanding that the jetspeed team is this years team stick. Last year was super tacks 2.0 and next year will be ribcor trigger 5. My main concern is the blade, I dont like super stiff blades so this will be an adjustment. Might try and get my hands on one of those deadening pads that stick on the blade Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ParabolicActivity 48 Report post Posted February 29, 2020 Either way it's whatever because these sticks are tanks. Mine has seen some wicked slashes from my own teenage boys (way worse than league or drop in games) on the pond this winter and is A OK and still feels like new. The outer finish does have scars but the stick is fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
