i guess to calrify as well. im not a fan of hockeystickmans sticks. they feel as cheap as they cost, and just are okay sticks at best. where as PRO sticks feel higher quality than the price you pay, on top of all the customizations as well.

I agree with the prostockhockeysticks quality being higher, I’ve featured his sticks on my channel before and I love them- my dad even uses them as his game sticks lol. The reason why I chose to format the video the way I did was more a showcase style while also giving my thoughts as to what was worth the money considering they’re all within $40 of eachother. They are 2 separate brands but are advertised as the same so figured I might as well showcase it as the general consumer would see it!

@StickTalk8 ahhhh i see. That's not a terrible way to format the video tbh, maybe just needed to talk on the fact that it's a different brand a lil more than the quick mention you gave it. Also you didn't link the pro stick in description, but it says you can buy all these sticks at the link below... and u can't get the pro on hockey stick man Don't wanna beat ya down either, i mean for all of this to be constructive feed back. U do good, and i wanna see ya grow and get better

You can get the same model pro I used on the hockeystickman website- they sell his sticks as their own, they’re the custom blackout and I absolutely appreciate the constructive feedback, I’m definitely still learning so it really helps!

@StickTalk8 :o i stand corrected then! I was unaware of that!

Thanks man I appreciate it and ya I hope to become that guy!

Next one should be the best then.

Thanks I appreciate it- checked out your channel, what’s the best way to get in to warhammer?

Don't waste your time

Ya I’m right there with you, didn’t really think it was worth my money

I’m using an 85 in the video! If he finds the 75 too whippy definitely give the 85 a shot and yes it’s a low kick stick!

I ordered a 75 flex extra lite about a year ago and had to return it bc it felt super stiff like 85. So weird you experienced different. Maybe bc the custom is made by pshs and it's a different manufacturer

Lol no thanks I don’t want you to get hurt, who knows maybe I buy you a set of goalie gear for Christmas lol

Thank you! I’m going to keep working towards it!

We need to get some games in good sir

@@StickTalk8 hockey or fn? 😆

Both lol

**this guy doesn’t clutch BACK TO BACK 3v1s

Womp ;)

He’s a Starlink piece police officer

Thanks man I appreciate it!

I’m a fan by default lol but the gloves are from Colorado! Thanks man I appreciate it!

Shots were coming off way hotter with the custom 😂. I had a buddy that bought a blackout and the weight and balance wasn’t tooooo bad, but the blade feel was not it at all.

I agree with that, the weight balancing isn’t too bad but the weight difference between the 2 isn’t noticeable in hand to be honest, the custom is the better stick of the 3 for sure tho

@@StickTalk8 also, I just bought a Denis Malgin pro stock stock from hockey stock man. Looks like it has a Brayden Point pro curve on it which I’ve been wanting to try. Completely flat blade with no rocker. What are your thoughts on rocker vs no rocker on blades?

I pass by those sticks every day at work and wish they were bigger so I could give one a try lol- honestly I don’t notice too much when I’m out there, would make an interesting video

These curves are available, admittedly I did try and find the most extreme examples of both I could find so they’d be a bit more difficult to find at the retail level

Lol I bet it made a crazy difference! It’s really cool to see how far sticks have come in the last 20 or so years!

@ so much more puck feel and control now! I’ve never had great hands but this stick is definitely helping me out 😂.

We have it on the pro blackout custom but you can also get it straight from prostockhockeysticks.com

Checkout the last 2 vids!

@@StickTalk8 can you do a snap shot tutorial video?

I have one posted!

It’s such a great idea I just don’t think the cost makes sense for most companies unfortunately

I’ve been meaning to try a heel curve, should I try the p91 or the Lidstrom

I’ve really wanted to try it but not sure if I could make a full video on it

Personally I like it all around better than the p28 but I get how that pocket at the toe could feel better for snapshots for sure

That’s fair and yes you’re more likely to find a unicorn then a new model stick with a p91 - what hand do you shoot?

@@StickTalk8 right hander 🤗

Surprisingly enough hockeystickman should have some ft7s with a p91

I know exactly the curve you’re talking about but have never had the chance to try one! What hand do you shoot cause I know where you could find some lefties

@@StickTalk8 ahh I’m a righty! :( I saw some righties at pro stock hockey but they are in the states and the shipping to Canada is just too much.

Ah damn, your best bet might be to get some from Gepetto over at prostockhockeysticks

@@StickTalk8 most likely, I just saw the new and improved twigs on his insta! Can’t wait to grab one.

I’m really excited for that launch- I’m looking to make a video on the whole lineup

I skate on a 5/8 and I’m not sure what profile I’m on though and thank you!

Would use the song in my vids but would def get copyrighted lol

Thank you!

The closest thing that I have to that rn is the jagr and I love it, maybe on his next drop I’ll buy one!

Thanks! I’ve got a few coming down the pipeline over the next few weeks!

This is definitely one of the funniest comments I’ve gotten lol, I think if you want to break free from the missionary lifestyle but stay pretty tame still give the pro mackinnon a try, it’s like a stick guys p88. Same blade shape as a p88 but with a moderate toe curve!

C'mon, take a chance on doggy and a toe curve next Saturday night!

Toe curves are the wave

I think as long as the curve has a flattish heel area then it should be ok for stickhandling and absolutely you miss out on some of that consistency, would you rather see a video on the pro blackout line or drai’s stick next?

@StickTalk8 Drai for sure, love seeing videos on curves most people don't use. Since Gepetto isn't doing the videos anymore it'd be great to get other folks opinions on different curves and stick builds

I’d love to get to trying them all but it would be quite the expensive series lol

I appreciate the kind words and typically I’m using an 85 flex unless I say otherwise in the video but curves I kinda bounce around so I’ll make a note to myself to start mentioning it at the beginning of my videos! Typically I’m using a p92, p28 or a p90t though

Great thanks man! Sorry I replied a second ago with my other google/YT profile. That’s helpful. I’ve been trying out different flexes, curves, lies and kick points (budget permitting) so I appreciate any extra info you share 👍🏻 keep up the videos man, it helps a lot for a beer leaguer like myself

No worries, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos!

Thanks! Should have videos coming out more consistently now

I haven’t used the laine curve yet but funnily enough my dad has used both those curves so I asked him what he thought, and he said that overall the zegras is a better curve as it doesn’t have any shortcomings, but on the laine he enjoys shooting with it more but finds it harder to handle the puck. Hopefully that helps!

Appreciate it man yea I was just curious because I’ve always used a p92 but Ive tried out the laine and really liked it just can’t get it on the retail top end sticks so I always go back to the p92 the zegras curve looks so sick though you were ripping bombs

Thanks man! It’s very hard to find these curves from brands like Bauer or ccm unfortunately but still a fun curve to use nonetheless

I’ve been using a hook for almost my whole career so I don’t really know anything different but I feel the same way about using a p88- feels like a can’t really shoot with it lol

Not on the ice a whole ton no, been around 5 years since I’ve played a real game of hockey

Whichever one you perform better with I’d say to stick with, but if you want a mix of them both check out my most recent video!

It’s super fun to use, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

@@StickTalk8 yeah it was the only curve in the flex and model I was looking for and I found some pics and figured what the hell why not give it a try. Now I just need to be patient and hang tight for it to arrive :-)

Let me know how you like it!

@@StickTalk8 ironically, I ordered it from your work apparently. Hoping it makes it in the mail tomorrow.

Lol hopefully!

It’s like the perfect curve for your situation!

We definitely do have some but we don’t list the lie on the sticks so you could bring the stick in that you have now to compare!

Hockey blades aren’t flat. Modern blades are curved. They have a dynamic lie depending on how you’re holding the stick.

There are still a select few that you can get your hands on without a rocker but they are definitely a dying breed

@@StickTalk8 I’m unfortunately in Tennessee where we don’t have a ton of hockey shops that offer the prostock option. My next question is are the pro blackout sticks customizable

@@jlo2o199 if you get something that’s a lie 4 and is close to a p29 curve it is almost 100 percent flat on the ice

Hopefully the guys I play with don’t mind!

Just watched it for the first time pretty recently so I thought I’d use it! I think the curve is worth a try!

He did alright with it lol and Reilly switched to it this year as well

Thank you I really appreciate it and I hope your learning journey treats you well, don’t get discouraged if it feels like it’s taking you awhile- hockey is the hardest sport to learn!

@@StickTalk8 Well said! Thank you! And looking forward to more videos!

You can get them from any store that sells pro stock gear- like hockeystickman, prostockhockey.com or sidelineswap or you could also purchase them from prostockhockeysticks.com!

At the other location!

My dad had one and said he loved shooting with it, it looks like a pretty sick curve

Thanks man I appreciate it, hopefully we can get some games in soon
