  1. A combination of factors for me: 1. Decided to give mid to low tier gear a try and realized I played just as well/poorly; maybe even better honestly since I wasn't worried about breaking a $250 stick. 2. As I got older material things in general started to mean less; I'd rather spend money on experiences than things. 3. Running out of storage space. 4. Back to point #1, which made me see the "this goes to 11" marketing mentality and kind of making me realize bauer/ccm doesn't care if I play better, they care whether or not they get my money. 5. When I was finally able to buy (almost) anything I wanted, the thrill of acquiring new stuff lessened. 6. I never have or will play at a high level (I'm in my late 30's) and my (unpopular) opinion is yes, people who just learned to skate or are not very good using top of line gear do look silly. I'm sorry if I offend people with this one, I used to be one of those guys. I know I shouldn't be judgmental and I am working on being a better person.

    Preferred website for prostock gear

    Hockeystickman has a surprisingly decent selection of non-refurbished pro stocks.

    Best ~460 Gram Sticks

    I honestly think we're at the point of diminishing returns in regards to rec players and top of the line sticks. Joe Schmoe doesn't need a Lambo for his daily commute.

    Best ~460 Gram Sticks

    I've felt this way for years. I still use a sherwood 9950 regularly and people always ask how my hands/wrists don't get tired. I always tell them the weight of the stick kind of pushes and stops the puck for me. So instead of felling like I'm trying to move a bowling ball with a fishing pole, it feels like I'm moving a golf ball with a baseball bat.

    What actually is "Advanced Carbon Layering"?

    Fancy words? Probably. Reduction in quality? Dunno. But it is a super vague term. Advanced compared to what? The way they layered carbon 5 years ago? 40 years ago? Carbon layering? As in the process by which most carbon sticks are made? As Don Draper once said of Lucky Strike tobacco, "It's toasted." Personally, I can't believe I used to eat this stuff up as a kid. Now, it really turns me off. A lot.
  6. Lol, and those straight, no curve, open lofted shovels.
  7. Wow, that's crazy. Thanks for the update!
  8. I just realized I haven't seen them post in a long time. Just curious if anyone knew.

    Is Harrow Back?

    I think you're right about this just being old stock. I looked through all the sizes and options and its pretty limited and random.

    Is Harrow Back?

    https://www.lumbrhockey.com/sticks/ These aren't listed on Harrowsports.com. Are these legit?

  12. Thanks for all the leads! I emailed some of the places suggested in this thread and am waiting on responses.
  13. Whoah....you think it's still usable or hardened over time?
  14. Yeah, I agree. Might just have to see what I can find at home depot
