Easton NHLers switching to Warrior..

[PDO]

A LOT of RBK guys switched to warrior.

Pronger was with RBK, was he not?

Prongs openly said that the switch to Warrior was the reason his offensive game got rolling after about 2 months into the season when he had something like 5 points in 17 games.

At the start of the season I saw tons of guys using RBK sticks. By the end of the year there were only a few.

The same can be said for Bauer Vapor's. Everyone was using them mid season, but not so much towards the end.

warrior AK 27 shaft is also pretty popular smyth and kovalev use it i belive.

You know that the AK27 is named after Alexei Kovalev and his jersey number 27 right?

My thoughts are that the RBK sticks are going to be very similar to the CCM sticks with a differant paint job, Warrior bein a bit smaller company offers better quality wish i would have waited I jumped on the synergy bandwagon about 2 weeks ago with the purchase of a synergy sl grip, great stick i wont lie but i would have liked to compare it to the warrior.

The RBK's I looked at had Jofa logos on them. I woudln't have noticed it unless someone pointed it out to me. Flip them over and look at the back of the shaft where all the fine print is. They felt more like an Easton then a CCM.

I came close to buying a RBK 4k (not bad for the price), but went with the Warrior Starskie instead.

Vapors are still pretty popular. The XXX-lite is a fairly widely used stick. I think RBK did so well at the start of the year because of their AHL deal. The fringe NHLers who made the team out of camp, but soon went down.

Tons of NHL'ers are using the Dolmite and AK27. Although I find most using the AK27 don't use the Warrior blades

I love the feel of the Vapor XXX-lite. I was so close to buying a pro stock return from North Dakota U.

Ahh...I didn't know RBK had a deal with the AHL.

RBK has had problems turning out correct patterns - Inno/Warrior has been able to churn them out with 3 day turnarounds (most likely because they are just making their sticks, no more Bauers) so that is why a lot of guys have been switching to them.

Easton has removed Modano's name from there sticks and are advertising "Modano pattern will now be known as Forsberg"

I know this because I purchased one a couple weeks ago

Yah United Cycles had that.
