I am in the market for a new stick, as my M-1 has gone through hell, which of these do you think performs better (weight, durability etc.)

And one more question, what other pattern is the Inno Fedorov closest to?

thanks guys

From my experience

XX for good attributes, with better looks

1100 excels in feel

Xn10 excels in shots

They are all good sticks, I'd put the 1100 and Xn10 above the XX. Then it'd come down to curves/flex/ lies to me. After that it'd be shooting vs. handling.

Why does everyone always leave out the Vector 130???? :(

Out of those I'd go for the XN10.

Maybe because of the color?

Ok that'd be THE gayest excuse ever. Something I'd expect from a 14 year old....

Either way, the Vector is the same color combo as the Stealth. Black & Silver.

It's difficult to find. Generally overpriced. The reviews on the V110 and V120 were not on par with the others. Some like Vectors, but the majority do not. The V130's have also undegone ALOT of breakage issues. Of the sticks mentioned above they all seem to have decent to good durability from my experiences. The fact Vectors were hit or miss with inserting a tapered blade has thrown some members off as well.

I think the Vectors are grossly underrated....

But thats just me.

I happen to own a V130, V120 and two V110's....I find them to be much more durable then the Vapor sticks.

And I wouldn't go as far to call the V130 overpriced as its the same exact price as an XN10 or Stealth.

(not getting defensive just wanna put forth some facts) :)

well i have heard the blades on the v130's break really easy so I wouldnt want to pay 299 can for them

That IS true.

I sent my 130 in for a warranty after the blade began to chip prematurely. CCM sent me back a FREE Vector 120 and will be sending me a V130 once they're done redesigning the blade on the V130 (April).

So heck, I paid $200 for a V130 + a V120 :) :)

Other then the blade problem, the V130 is an incredible stick. I'm going to write up a nice review on it once I get some time.

See I cannot speak for the durability of the V130 on a personal standpoint. I have seen alot of breakage and the sticks in general are alot cheaper to make than other OPS. Durablity is decent, depending on where people normally break sticks. I don't like the fact they slap cheap blades on their OPS. I know this doesn't go across the board, but I find the Vectors to be a sub-par stick (on the V110 level) compared to the other OPS at its price-point. You obviousyl have a differen't opinion, which is great, you've found a brand your loyal to and handles you well, I just see greater flaws in their products than others. I currently have a V110 sitting at home, which will be used for roller, something I think the stick is suited very well to. I just simply wanted to offer an answer to your question of why it isn't talked about often. I think the V110 and V120 really turned some people off. I'll personally hgave trouble forking over $280-$300 cdn (your right Stealth/old Xn10 price) for a stick which has failed me with it's last 2 models for ice hockey.

Vectore V130 is ccm's "first attempt" at a composite blade. They've had two attempts at Grip and they still haven't got it close to right.

I agree wholeheatedly. The ABS blade screams Roller Hockey. And get rid of the damn cheesy stickers! I took the sticker that encased the ENTIRE stick on a V-120C, and underneath was a sweeet blue weave. Now why not just put simple Oranger V E C T O R graphics on the shaft and then clear-coat a nice tacky finish. That would make for an awesome shaft. . . and then for the blade. That's a whole nother topic.

From my personal experience and word of mouth, I have found the Vectors to be durable and a good all around stick. However, a lot (such as myself) have complained about the low degree of fit/finish on a stick that cost so much.

The V120, for instance, is COVERED with stickers, and while it's easy to agree that this is merely superficial, it does interfere with enjoyment of the stick at that price level when there are similarly qualified sticks at that price level (or less) that have far better & longer lasting real paint finishes that can perform just as well.

BUT, again, remember - these are all just opinions - the only one that counts is yours.
