Unbiased, self financed, no punches pulled hockey gear review channel. I have loved trying the latest and greatest hockey gear since I started playing 15 years ago. I always bought the top gear, sticks, skates and protective. I now want to help others by preventing them from buying a 350$ stick they will hate. If its new and just released I will be reviewing it so you can make the best decision in your gear purchase. But also, I do this for fun. I'm just a beer leaguer that's 40 years old with Rheumatoid arthritis so don't need no bs, so keep it clean other wise you outa here.
Depends what you mean by fit. The cut is different correct where it sits on ankles, and the lacing system is a different wrap but volume is same with the system. Just depends what you order for the others
tip 3 is why your team hates you and your team doesn't win. if you're out there to maximize your own stats/enjoyment/weird ideas at the expense of teamwork i don't want you on my team
My team hates me? Based on what? Your assumptions lol don’t win? We have 5 championships in ten year bro. Go troll someone else, having talent on your team helps you win. Someone has to score bud, everytime I spare with someone new I get asked to come out and join. Weird you must be some Kinda weirdo to not want talent
Hey, do you know what the dual anchor strap is supposed to be doing on the elbow pads? It doesnt feel any different than my old apx anchor strap, wasn't sure what the the "adptfit+" is...
All the across anchor straps usually are designed to stop movement down during shooting but I have yet to see one actually do this well. Its best to roll your under sleeves over to keep elbows in place
Great review. I picked up the ccm xf pro shin guard. I’ve used the one90 supreme the ultra sonic and the nexus 8000 shin guards in the past. I was looking for something not a low profiled as the ultra Sonic’s but not as bulky as the nexus 8000. The asv and xf shins seem to be the happy medium between the two. I also hate taping my socks
Yes, but seems that the next gens of sticks are being released longer for all brands but I don’t think 66 is a retail thing, what stick you normally run? 66 seems tall to me unless you talking blade as well?
@SteveDroux gotcha. Yes CCM’s ste longest retail I think at around that. Bauer and warrior shorter but some releases are going that long now on new gens
@@joaquinrodriguez887 fair enough. It’s a lot of info but basically comes down to flex, kick point shot style and then stick length. So if you are a new school shooting a longer stick will help. If you’re older school shorter is better. If you are a play maker shorter is better and stick handler shorter is better. Longer sticks are more that bedard mathews style game big drag and torque on the stick. Also if you like a stiffer stick longer is better to help with load and velocity on ease of load. Lots of difference ideas out there. So give you an idea I use a 62 inch stick, hybrid in 75 flex. I don’t stick handle, I’m a shooter that uses slappers more so slightly stiffer flex and longer for more bend.
How about a review and comparison of different neck guards. Not sure if you wear one or not. With them becoming mandated in the states at a lot of levels would be nice to have some feedback on the different products.
Appreciate the idea. I’ve thought about it since safety is important. I’ve been dealing with health issues hence why channel been on hiatus I’m Going to get back to regular posting and videos in mid June after a vacation
I bought a trigger 8 pro and broke the blade. I loved it and want another. Came here for the review to see what you think. It’s the best stick I’ve used so far. I like ccm products. Rarely try other brands
Out of the millions of ice hockey players in north America alone, this guy and hockey tutorial are the best weve got in the entire world??? Someone grab a camera and give some fresh reviews. Cant be worse than this
I don’t know what’s worse, your cringe-worthy acting or your grammar/spelling. I find myself turning your videos off more often than not before I even get to the end because of these stupid acting bits. Just do the review and be done with it.
Don’t watch? You new to the internet? I dunno what’s worse the fact you can’t stand my videos and still watch them or the fact you post about it. Classic moron. If you want shitty reviews that tell you everything is amazing stick with every other hockey channel. Good luck.
I went on the ice yesterday (5/16) Quad II Profile 3/8 sharpen. Off ice balance was much better. On the ice made it up to the blue line, which has been my norm. Kept repeating my norm. Finally, went blue line back and rest. Entrance to redline back and break. Entrance to far blue line and back. Then , entrance to end of ice and back. I have not been able to get to the redline for ever . Let alone the far blue blue and end goal line. It worked. My injuries to my right leg, etc have been devastating, but not anymore. Leaving soon for Memorial Day back home. Then back on the ice!
LOL. too funny. when you are as old as me you remember those old CCM octoguns and the reebok stick with the holes. ha. honestly i dont get the whining about sticks coming out every year. yeah, i get that the LX2 pro isnt as good as the LX pro, but even if the stick is just a cosmetic change, who really cares. some people have to have the newest stick some dont so who cares if someone buys a stick every 6 months and its just a different color. everything has its plus and minus. there is no perfect stick and we just have to navigate and mitigate. or you could just go full bender and rock the 5030.
Hey the 5030 is what I started playing hockey with it’s crazy! If Sherwood made a comp stick that they called the 5030 C with a coffee curve at 390 grams in just no kick point to mimic a wood stick do you know how good that stick would sell?!
@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews my true catalyst 5x3 is in very good shape got it like at end of season so baseball season is coming up so will use it again when hockey begins overall it's a good stick and very hard to break
@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews recommend to buy it if you want and if you do buy it you should do a review on it. It's pretty good for stick handling and toe drags
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews just did hope you do well with it! I love the stick myself and have gotten 2 goals with it in my first game with it, amazing stick!!!
If you call that getting drilled then that’s pretty laughable. He put his shoulder into your chest and you flopped holding your head. That was a little bump, could only imagine what you would do from taking a real hit. You wanna be the 100 goal guy then be prepared to piss people off, especially when you’re playing below your skill level.
Just heads up I have a chronic illness that affects my neck, and regardless if it’s a “sissy hit” it’s still after the play, illegal, and uncalled for. No hit is “laughable” in beer league. There is no hitting
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews I was going to ask if you did order. Did you go with any of the “special builds” like Dans Build, G63 or the G63 XL. As they are more made for slapshots
@@barrymcaully there was some Special builds in here but no dans build I think that was available yet. The mid kickers in 375 gram are excellent slap shot sticks
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews that is what I currently have, redline 375g, 80 flex, PRO1910 (Penarin) I’m going to put an order in and thinking to go for the “Dans Build” (G63 Build with a Redline Blade). I’ll keep you posted with how they perform once they arrive. Keep up the great content 👌
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews I loved when they started getting whippy. They would break soon after, but that window of whippiness put that little bit extra on my shot. I buy stiffer sticks now because they are $140 compared to $25 back in the day. Breaking a stick now is kinda heartbreaking.
Wow! Just what I needed to see. I had an injury which kept me off the ice. When I got on things changed. I had developed DVT's after the injury and had an incident on the ice. It took me a while to figure things out. I changed my grind to 3/8. Then I had my skates reprofiled to Quad II about 1/2 forward lean and this profile is for balance and stability. The 3/8 grind will more than likely have to be sharpened after each sessions. 10 bucks well spent. You two have given me more confidence that the change in profile will be a benefit as well.
Actually, I have to say that Custom Hockey Sticks has the most customization of all brands big or small, but Pro Stock has by so far the most curve options !!
Also in love with the fact that you used the word geometry, because that's what this is, instead of like every on-air personality using the word "calculus", when they have like, a single unknown factor. Cause that's simple algebra. Thanks guys, this is absolutely brilliant!
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews thanks. My son needs new skates, he’s a Junior A player. Has worn 3SPro last 2 seasons and the 2SPro the two seasons previous to that. He’s a lighter player but elite skater… I’m thinking the M5Pro is the way to go.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews i originally would tape an extra wide end on my sticks but then found the buttendz and that was less hassle than tape, and there large goalie grip fits me perfectly edit: i use the sentry grip, its a bit odd using a goalie style grip on a regular stick, but i was always a weird guy with how i play
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews main reason i do it is because i like having a loose grip near the end when stick handling and the sentry grip gives me the stopage i need to avoid the stick sliding out my hand, it may be weird, but got to remember there was a time when goalies wearing masks was considered weird, sometimes the strange things catch on, like curved sticks being the result of a broken blade edit: ive also been called weird because i like using rezztek instead of tape, but like with the grip, i like not having to always redo it
love the rekker legends, my go to is the legend 2, although if i had the cash id get a pro edit: another* pro, i have back ups of each of my sticks except the pro
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews i can totally see why connor bedard uses the pro, and honestly, sherwood has been my go to for hockey gear the last few years, the lower price points without compromising on quality is great for someone like me whose broke
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews honestly glad to see sherwood stepping up there game the last few years, i started out playing in my back garden years back with there 5030, loved the brand ever since
Late to the party here. What flex did you go with? I like 75 but dropped down on the legend pro. I believe ccm plays like 75 flex across all their lines.
these vids are great and i always put a ton of stock in what is said in them. but i bought a trigger 8 mainly because i couldn't find any FT6s locally. i've had Ft3 Ft6 as well as FT6. That being said the Trigger8 is AWESOME. i cant believe how much i love this stick. I usually cut about 1.5 inches off and full taped blade and handle with no butt end. with all that tape the stick weighs 380g. so i would say that weight isnt an issue. the balance on the stick is just amazing. the new blade is great. i never have to worried about the puck rolling off and shooting blanks. my shot may be 2 to 3 mph lower, but it comes off quick. i would definitely buy this again, just maybe in an 80 or 75 flex instead of my usual 85. its probably a low kick thing, but it is more stiff than jetspeed.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews for sure. hopefully not. but i am 95% wrist shot 5% snap shot. 0% slappers so my sticks tend to last very long. that being said i can see my snap shot percentage increase because it is so good with the stick and a heck of a lot more accurate which will lend to my confidence using it to be there. with most sticks i was like a shot gun as opposed to a dialed in rifle.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews thanks for your vids. they are very useful to me. i am very picky and super critical. i literally have $1200 in sticks in my garage that i dont use. lol.
Great review! I play forward but block shots and they are hurting me, I´m looking forward to upgrade my shin guards and I´m between these and the Bauer Machs looking for maximum protection but I dont want to compromise mobility. Can you please give me your thoughts, thanks!
I was looking on pure hockey and comparing the asv vs asv pro shins and they are literally the exact same. It is literally word for word except without the “pro” so for 50 dollars less I am inclined to go asv but do you think it is worth it to go the pro just for the peace of mind? I am a high level midget player and want the most protection but I don’t want to break the bank on shin pads either.
So what I took from that is the asv is still going to be very protective because it is a tacks line but do you think the pro version is more protective? Both versions are on sale at the moment
I love the videos. I was wondering what you think about buying 2x pro skates in 2024. There only $200 bucks at the pro shop, and that’s a hard bargain in todays equipment market. What do you think?
