Odd. Wonder if he thinks he is using an S19.
It's not all that far-fetched, really. Considering how pros are notoriously finicky about not changing what they're comfortable with, but also tend not to be gear connoisseurs on the level of many enthusiasts, I wouldn't be shocked if he either wanted S19's and they gave him Mako II's painted as S19's because they don't actually make S19's anymore, or if he just had some weird superstitious hangup about the graphics.
It doesn't really take a gear connoisseur to know what he/she is using. I'm pretty sure he knows exactly what he is using each and every time he steps on the ice. The two Easton models don't really feel the same at all. I still see S19's everywhere for sale.
