The next generation of the legendary Tacks name is here and better than ever, and with it comes a beefed up line of CCM’s most durable sticks to date. With RBZ offering a custom kick and Ribcor offering a quick release low kick, CCM caters to the snipers with a mid-kick point in the Ultra Tacks. The Ultra Tacks was designed to provide unmatched accuracy and precision in a high performance lightweight and durable stick. CCM found success with Attackframe technology, which was featured in the original Tacks stick, only to one up it with a much lighter version of the same tech now dubbed Ultra Attackframe. Engineers designed their blade to have a structure with a strong outer frame and two stiffer bridges that run heel to toe. The stiff reinforcements that run across the blade help to increase bending stiffness and torsional rigidity which prevents any twisting of the blade and keeps you square to your target while delivering consistent and accurate shots. By reducing the weight of the blade you get a better overall balanced feel which in turn promotes a higher performing stick and more accurate shots. Another benefit of having this stiffer blade is the durability factor as well as reliability. With the Ultra Attackframe technology, pro testimonials state that their Tacks stick is lasting longer while providing that same feel they had the first day they received their stick, giving them the consistency needed to perform. Featuring Bumper technology in the shaft, the Ultra Tacks stick has become one of CCM’s strongest and longest lasting sticks to take durability to the next level. The majority of hockey sticks break when you receive a slash which then damages a corner of the shaft. Now apply more force onto that damaged area while you shoot or stick check and SNAP! What happened is when force was applied, the layers of carbon fiber started to separate and weaken the stick to the point of breakage. Bumper technology is the addition of more material to the inside of the shaft corners which prevents the separation and breakdown of the carbon fiber layers in the stick. The result is better carbon fiber compaction for remarkable durability and consistency in the shaft. This shaft uses a traditional geometry with square-corners and strategically placed tactile texture is utilized with a grip finish. There is a very slight gradual taper because of the mid kick flex profile to a nice transition where the blade and the shaft meet. On the inside of the matte finished blade, is the Ultra Attackframe tech mentioned above with a lightweight quality foam core between the frame and bridges. CCM is also offering a pro flex in the Ultra Tacks line. The 105 and 95 flex options are available with an additional 3 inch extension in stick length for the bigger and stronger players looking for a stiffer and taller stick. CCM strived for an incredibly durable stick that would provide legendary accuracy and performance. If you are an elite level player that values precision, accuracy, and consistency (all qualities of a sniper), then check out CCM’s Ultra Tacks hockey stick made to light the lamp. Les mer

The CCM RBZ Superfast stick is the 3rd generation of the CCM RBZ line. It has grown from the roots of the original RBZ and has seen some serious technology upgrades. The Speed Channel blade from the RBZ has been since updated to the Freak Channels for the RBZ Stage 2, and now has evolved into the Speed Pocket blade for the Superfast. By eliminating channels in the middle of the blade and creating more of a single pocket, CCM has increased the C.O.R. (Coefficient of Restitution) by 50% from last years Stage 2! This means that the reaction off the blade is 50% quicker with each shot! CCM has also stuck to their custom flex profile which enables players of any stance or hand position to be able to load up the stick and deliver a heavy shot no matter where your bottom hand is positioned. All of this combined with the great balance and low swing weight means that you are gonna to really lay into the puck everytime you shoot. Les mer

In what has become a much anticipated summer tradition in recent years, CCM will be releasing the newest update to their RBZ composite hockey stick line in August. The original RBZ was a great stick that was hugely popular and in conjunction with TaylorMade, CCM has been able to improve on it every year. Theyve continued to make a great stick better and better. The newest version of the stick is called the RBZ SpeedBurner. The RBZ SpeedBurner is the stick designed for pure shooters, looking for the hardest, most powerful shot possible. By comparison, the other sticks from CCM the Ultra Tacks, designed for places seeking the most accurate shots and the Ribcor, for great stick handlers who want to be able to load the stick easily and a really quick release. Power Hosel Technology The biggest upgrade made to the RBZ SpeedBurner is the introduction of CCMs new Power Hosel Technology. With past RBZ models, CCM has been forced to use a more traditional method of fusing the stick together by extending the blade up, into the shaft. Although this was the best technique at their disposal, they did not feel it was an ideal complement to their SpeedBlade Technology. So as theyve don before, they looked to their counterparts at TaylorMade. They saw that with their golf drivers, TaylorMade assembled the clubs by inserting the shaft into the hosel of the club head. CCM took this idea and set out to translate it to the RBZ stick line. They redesigned the lower portion of the RBZ shaft, adding an internal rib and building it to be inserted into the blade. The addition of the internal rib and the new fusion method had direct impacts on the sticks performance, as well as some indirect effects. By inserting the shaft into the blade hosel, the energy transfer of the stick becomes much more efficient. This means that when you flex the shaft while shooting, energy travels through the stick and to the puck quicker with less energy lost. The result is a more powerful shot with a faster release in comparison to previous RBZ models. While the new internal rib also helps to support the efficiency improvements, it more importantly improves the structure and durability of the taper. The rib helps to enhance the rigidity of the lower portion of the stick, leading to more stability on big slapshots. More stability means less blade twisting and torqueing, keeping the blade more square to your target for more accurate shots. Aside from those performance features, the internal rib also helps to improve the impact strength of the lower shaft. That lower shaft area is often the target of impacts, whether it is slashed or lifted by another stick, hitting the post trying to bang home a rebound or giving some pesky little forward a good whack to the shin pads out in front of the net. Improving the impact strength doesnt mean the stick is unbreakable, but it makes it a bit tougher and helps the stick to continue performing like it did the day you got it for a longer period, even after its been slashed a few times. Weight Reduction Even though they added some material with the rib and extended shaft from the new Power Hosel, CCM was still able to reduce the overall weight of the SpeedBurner by 5 grams compared to last years SuperFast. I know what youre thinking, 5 grams So what? It might not seem like much, but look at it this way the lightest 30 (yes, THIRTY) sticks in the game right now are separated by a total of 40 grams. On top of that, the 4th lightest and 30th lightest sticks are only 22 grams different in weight. Long story short When talking about top end hockey sticks, 5 grams is a significant weight reduction. RBZ Flex Profile & Blade Technology There are two big that the RBZ line has come to be known for, the flex profile and the unique blade construction. Although CCM has consistently updated and improved those two features, theyve been able to do so without alienating the players who love the stick by changing the feel and performance that won them over. Custom Kick Point The SpeedBurner is designed for players seeking the hardest shot possible and will still feature CCMs Custom Kick Point or Constant Stiffness Profile. This means the stick is going to flex from wherever your lower hand is. This gives you great performance on all types of shots and its what makes the RBZ line such a popular all-around shooting stick. The SpeedBurner maximizes the energy loaded into big slap shots and optimize the amount of energy loaded into quicker snap and wrist shots, giving you the most possible power on both types of shots. Since the stick reacts to the placement of the bottom hand during a shot, it will feel easier to load, giving the feeling of more power coming out than you put in. Since the stick is equally stiff through the entire shaft, it has an extremely smooth load and release when shooting. Speed Pocket Blade Technology The RBZs unique blade construction has always been a stable of the line. The goal as always has been to maximize the blades Coefficient of Restitution (C.O.R) or trampoline effect, to make the puck jump off the blade on shots. Unlike other blades on the market, which are filled with various types of foam, the RBZ line is hollow; creating what CCM calls the Speed Pocket. Like past RBZs, the SpeedBurner blade takes many cues from golf drivers in the way it is designed, tested and how it performs. With SpeedBurner, CCM wanted to maximize C.O.R., and increase the size of the sweet spot of the blade. A bigger sweet spot allows for the same feeling of the puck jumping off that hot blade face, even when you dont contact the puck exactly where you want to on the blade. Due to the introduction of the Power Hosel and the new way the stick is assembled, CCM was able to reexamine, rework and optimize the Speed Pocket blade to realize these goals. Some other great RBZ SpeedBurner features The new RBZ SpeedBurner will have a few features continuing forward from past models that have been slightly tweaked, as well as some continuing forward as they were. Since its introduction, the RBZ line has always had a focus on optimizing the swing weight of the stick and SpeedBurner has the lowest swing weight for the RBZ lines to date. Swing weight is predicated on the distribution of the weight throughout the stick. The swing weight of a stick basically does two main things; it influences how light or balanced the stick feels and helps shooters to maximize the speed of their swing on slapshots. The lowered swing weight of the RBZ SpeedBurner will help shooters to gain more speed on their downswing and generate more power on shots. Like the past RBZ sticks, the SpeedBurner will feature CCMs T-Geometry shaft. T-Geometry is a squared shaft allowing for better control when shooting. The square corners help to prevent the shaft from spinning in your hands when shooting, helping to increase accuracy. Les mer

At the bottom and the most affordable of the Stage 2 line is the RBZ 40 Composite Stick by CCM. The RBZ 40 offers durability which is great for recreational and entry-level players. The design is one of the biggest changes to the Stage 2 line. A dark upper half of the stick contrasts with the white bottom half, and a black strip finds itself on the top of the blade and lower portion of the shaft. The reason for the altered color scheme was well thought out by the design team at CCM---leaving the lower half white makes the stick difficult for a goalie to distinguish from the white ice and boards, while adding black on the top of the lower shaft and blade makes the stick more visible in your peripherals while stick-handling. The shaft of the RBZ 40 is designed with a balance between weight and flex distribution to give you more torque on your follow-through and a quicker release. The constant stiffness of the shaft gives you a customized kick point for optimal loading. The High C.O.R. blade continues the trampoline effect much like what is built into the higher end RBZ models. This translates to a blade that releases stored energy upon impact, resulting in harder passes and heavier shots. Keep the money in your pocket while still putting the puck in the back of the net, with the RBZ 40 Composite Stick by CCM. Les mer

CCM's RBZ 280 Composite Stick offers most of their elite features found in the flagship Speedburner, while coming in at a more affordable price point. Their partnership with Taylor Made is once again the driving factor behind the RBZ's performance, with a redesigned hosel technology taking center stage this year. Their "Power Hosel Technology" is a redesign of the lower portion of the RBZ shaft, adding an internal rib and building it to be inserted into the blade. By inserting the shaft into the blade hosel, the energy transfer of the stick becomes much more efficient. This means that when you flex the shaft while shooting, energy travels through the stick and to the puck quicker with less energy lost. The result is a more powerful shot with a faster release in comparison to previous RBZ models. Further inspiration from Taylor Made can be found in the construction and weight distribution of the RBZ line's shaft in their "Very Low Swing Weight" Technology. This influences how light or balanced the stick feels and helps shooters to maximize the speed of their swing on slapshots. This component couples nicely with the stick's constant flex profile, empowering players utilize a variety of different shooting styles. Finally, the RBZ’s unique blade construction has always been a stable of the line. The goal as always has been to maximize the blade’s “Coefficient of Restitution” (C.O.R) or trampoline effect, to make the puck ‘jump’ off the blade on shots. Unlike other blades on the market, which are filled with various types of foam, the RBZ line is hollow; creating what CCM calls the “Speed Pocket”. Like past RBZ’s, the SpeedBurner blade takes many cues from golf drivers in the way it is designed, tested and how it performs. Les mer

The Bauer Vapor X90 Grip Composite Stick comes in second in line to the throne. With high-end features, you get quality without the king-sized price tag. The X90 is made from quality 12K carbon fiber throughout the shaft and a 3K carbon weave wrap in the blade, ultimately offering you a well-balanced and responsive feel. Also built into the X90 is Intelli-Sense Shot Technology, giving you better shots all around. The Intelli-Sense Flex Profile is an advanced dual-kick-point system that gives players the optimal flex profile based on the type of the shot being taken and the location of their lower hand on the stick. Wrist shots and snap shots activate the low kick point while slap shots and snap shots activate the softened handle at the top of the stick to flex creating a secondary flex zone. This dual kick point allows for players to gain optimal flex on either kick point. Just a small drop behind the X100, the X90 stays strong with the high-quality 12K carbon fiber shaft and 3K carbon weave blade. Upgraded carbon gives players an overall balanced feel without sacrificing weight. Enjoy a high-quality stick that knows you all too well and provides you with immediate responsiveness. Les mer

Bauer X800 is a stick in the next generation of Bauer’s Vapor line made ideal for crafty players. Continuing the focus on puck handling and quick release shots, the X800 is revamped with improved QRT technology which features an aggressive taper that gives this stick a low kick profile and has also been completely optimized with a new layup design. The result ends with an X800 hockey stick that has been made lighter, faster, and stronger than its predecessor Bauer’s research showed that reorienting the layers of carbon fiber would pay huge dividends in the progression of not only QRT tech but also the entire Vapor line as a whole. By doing this, the stick was made lighter by trimming off a little bit of weight, made faster by giving the shooter the ability to achieve maximum levels of deformation or easier stick loading, and made 30% more durable in the taper area. With all these improvements working together this X800 provides a quicker overall release! To make up the shaft construction, a combination of visible premium lightweight 3k woven carbon fiber as well as fiberglass in the shaft of the Vapor X800, making the stick feel comparable to offerings twice its price. The X800 also uses a traditional, proven, fused construction. The Micro Feel II shaft profile has rounded corners and double-concave walls which allow the shaft to fit comfortably into your hands, resulting in easier puck handling and superior control The blade of the X800 features Bauer’s AERO FOAM 3, a lightweight dual density foam that helps to dampen vibration and improve the durability of the blade. This is wrapped in a special BiMax 3K weave which has a higher tensile strength than a conventional 3K weave. Additionally, this entire Vapor line includes Bauer's Pure Shot Blade Profile which is that visible expanded throat design that reduces the amount of blade deflection or the twisting / opening of the blade while shooting. The outcome of all this is a blade that is balanced and durable yet offers excellent feel and playability Les mer

The TotalOne MX3 Stick is Bauer's latest top-end model for the Supreme stick lineup. New for this year is the Power Sense 2 Blade Core. Bauer was able to improve the original version by fusing the blade core to Bauer's TeXtreme Carbon. This integration of the outer and inner blade eliminates excess glues and materials, significantly reducing the weight. This new blade is designed to be softer for better touch on shots and passes. The softer blade also allows the puck to be cradled longer on powerful snapshots, ensuring maximum energy is transferred from stick to puck. Bauer continues to utilize AEROFOAM 3 in the heel of the blade, providing stability and strength to the core while improving balance. The MX3 Stick uses the well-known amplified mid-kick point flex profile that helps load maximum power on slap shots and one-timers. Also returning from previous models is the Monocomp technology, Bauer's one-piece stick molding process that creates more consistency and better overall balance. Another of Bauer's great technologies is eLASTech, a specially designed resin in the stick, designed to improve the overall durability of the stick and keep the stick performing like new for much longer.

The Bauer Supreme 180 stick was designed and developed for the player seeking visible technologies, pro level feel and playability at a performance level price. The Supreme line features a mid-kick flex profile, which means that it is easier to load through the middle due to its softer properties in that zone. It also features the Supreme power dual taper for a stiffer bottom portion of the shaft which in conjunction with the Pure Shot Blade profile, an expanded throat design as you transition from shaft to blade, provides torsional stiffness in such a way that reduces the likelihood of twisting and torquing of the blade. The 180 was engineered to boost energy output and provide a healthy combination of strength, power, precision and control. Just like the higher end Supreme 190 stick, the Supreme 180 uses a premium lightweight 12k woven carbon fiber in the shaft. 12k carbon is even better at managing stress than 3k woven carbon fiber, which has been used in high end composite sticks for years. The Supreme line of sticks have a square shaft shape with double-concave walls which is preferred among pros. Enhancing the nice secure grip provided from this shape is the MX3 Tac-Spiral ridges on the underside of the shaft. For the core of the Supreme 180 blade, Bauer uses a lightweight AERO FOAM 1, which provides great feel for the puck. The Blade is wrapped in Premium lightweight 3k Carbon Fiber, which adds stiffness to the blade, and features a matte finish. The Bauer Supreme 180 is a well-balanced stick with visible technologies that support a powerful and controlled shot all at a performance level price. This value proposition should get your consideration. Les mer
