Great review! I actually asked Pro Stock about a hybrid stick as well. I’m hoping the more of us who request this the more they will consider it! I still have not broke one of these midkick Redline sticks. I should add that if you have a curve that you love and he doesn’t have, he will make a mold for you. Of course at a cost but it’s a one time cost. He did it for me and it was the exact curve.
@@rielbignell30 the mold was $1200 I believe and then the sticks were on top of that. If you have used the same curve and continue to it pays for itself in the end and we’ll worth it.
Have used both and for some reason I really like the low kick version of the stick. I use a really whippy 65 flex and I found that it really whips and rips all types of shots. I asked for a bit more reenforcement in the shaft so it came out to 400 grams. Definitely would recommend trying the low kick if you like low kicks. Sticks of all things are a personal thing
I found the same thing with the low vs. mid kick PROs and prefer the mid kicks. They feel like an old 2N Pro or Alpha QX build when shooting. The low kick feels more like an old Vapor X:60/APX. The price-to-performance factor with the PRO sticks is huge and they are an easy way to get the perfect specs on a stick which I love. It would be great to try an AG5NT out and compare it to the PRO sticks but that would mean going for a custom 64" shaft Laine curve which is almost $500 with tax and just not worth it for one stick.
I’m about to purchase one of these but curious what style grip you like on the pro? They have so many options on grip that I don’t know even know what they are similar in retail too.
Luv the parody’s, and the stick reviews. Good to see there’s some honest reviews out there still. really wanted the new true sticks to be durable. I had the old xc9 probably one of the best feel sticks, but only stick I broke on my own. I’m not ruff on sticks. Usually people are hacking at me, or falling on my sticks when they break. Or they just loose their pop. I really like pros sticks. I agree, the mid flex stick is their better stick. the curve selection is insane, and they feel super durable, like the old supremes. Gepetto seems like a pretty cool guy too. Maybe once his company brings in more revenue, he can start putting it into R&D to make those hybrid low/mid kick sticks. Or….. maybe a joint effort with true?
I’ve just ordered my first PSHS. Low kick third line Zegras curve. I’m a beginner so it didn’t really make sense to me to get the red line. Curious to say the least.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviewsit hasnt arrived yet, I’m from the EU. They supposedly ship them from Finland. Very curious too. I’ve only used a warrior Backstrom which is a P92 equivalent.
What was the difference between the mid redline and g63 aside from weight? I have Geps redlines but have always been tempted by the g63, especially now he has the g63 extra light model…
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews yeah I think it’s a fairly new release on the customizer, g63 XL build at 375 grams. So not sure what the difference between a redline and that would be really…
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews he just started making hybrid sticks. It’s a g63 XL shaft with a redline blade called Dan’s build. You should really give that one I try given your preferred shot selection. Pop of the g63 with a lightweight blade and XL weight. Big shooters build for sure.
Ft6 team is going to weigh around 430. Depends what’s more important to you. Weight ? Or shooting. The ft6 line is the best stick line out right now but the mid pro is right behind at 375 grams at 200$
The mid kick I was using is 85. Wasn’t that stiff actually. Good flex. I feel 80 for me would be perfect or 77 For tones of torque. Flex profile will feel a bit different than the Lxpro and of course the lx still better release and over all best stick
I love Gepetto's sticks and have purchased a few. There's one caveat with their stock inventory sticks though, and that's shipping / no sales. For a red-line inventory stick it's $220 + $27 shipping + taxes ($260CDN total). This is almost Sherwood territory as I've gotten the TMP Pro cheaper than $260 when there was a big sale, and that stick is a beast. PSHS usually has their only sale in November so definitely wait for that. Or just go for a full custom. Great value all around though and really good durability.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews sorry should have mentioned I go for intermediate, so it's usually $299CDN for the Sherwood regular price. Great video though, good to see PSHS getting some attention.
I have prostock jetspeed 5 pro. Which kickpoint would be a closer one? Im curious to test their sticks. I don't shoot slapshots at all. Matthews/bedard style wristers/snapshots only.
Jetspeeds are usually hybrids. If it’s prostock though no garuntee thats what it actually is. The hybrid Does well for your shooting style. I wouldn’t change if it is a hybrid because the hybrid sticks ( jetspeed, tMP ) are the best shooting sticks you can get. But if you are going to I would go mid kick as per my review
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews Ye its budget thing. I'm not playing super competitive but not recreational either. Found this stick super cheap used. I like whippy sticks
Looking for a recommendation for which blade curve to choose. I've been using a P29 retail Crosby blade curve recently but that stick broke. Which Blade curve would be the best one for me? I have a P92 that I've been using now but having some issues using it. How much different is a P28 then a P29?
Curves depend on game style I would love to just recommend one but I really don’t like recommending curves as so many factors involved. I think you will probably have to read about each curve and decide which sounds the best to you
my game is shooting 15 feet and in. no slapshots allowed. Can handle the puck just enough. use speed to get shots at the net.@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews thanks for your time.
@@dariuskowalik9862 p28 will get you that bar down quick, but the p92 as well can still do fine in those situations. In terms of my fav curves that prostock offers p14, laine those are the next step of the p28 I think and are fun curves for shooting
I take only wrist shots/snapshots because of my pace of play would you say the mid kick is still better than the low kick at wristers/snappers? Is the low kicks release better? Does the mid kick have that much more power on wristers/snapshots?
Great, great review! Thank you for this effort. Thank your wife for not putting you in the dog house after seeing that pile of sticks. Haha. There’s a few other factors, low kicks with lower flex can’t be beat for quick wristers and snap shots but terrible for slap shots. We’re waiting for our pro stock stick to arrive to test on a bantam AAA player. He’s a wrist shot scorer so we went low kick 65 flex for a 5’-9”, 160 lb kid. I’m also very curious about durability. The high end sticks don’t last long at AAA level…these kids are hard on their sticks. Hyperlite2’s are great sticks but they just don’t last at this level of player.
Most won’t last long for kids playing high level hockey. With that said I still wouldn’t rock hyperlite2, true sticks no matter what due to their absolute terrible durability. Others will at least last longer than those no matter the level
Great video. I might take a look as I've gone back down to a lighter flex stick. Now if only I could stop going bar down in warmups, muffins in games. . .
Bought my son a red line. Agree with your opinion on the red line. Great feel and balance but closer to his second tier Vapor 3X Pro stick. Geppetto, throw some coupon codes out there so the BLBH followers can try the mid-kicker. My 16yo currently favors the CCM AS4 Pro, with the ASV taking on a new direction I'm looking for another traditional mid-kick with some pop!
@@kenshiroFNS that’s what I was wondering. I’ve been seeing their ads recently a lot but haven’t seen a real review done. I haven’t played since 2008 until this year and I went stick crazy buying every stick and curve I could to find out what I liked since Easton was no longer a company. My favorite sticks are the LX Pros, followed by the Trigger 7 Pros, and then the Hyperlite for top end sticks. I’m about to either sell my stick collection or put it away and stock up on LX Pros and Trigger 7 Pros while they’re on sale. My goal is to order 44 of them and I’ll never have to buy sticks again. The total cost is around $4,500-5,000 but it’s well worth it.
@@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 interesting. That's how I felt when I picked up my 375g CHS. Felt like I was using a top tier stick. And they have a 350g that I've been debating on getting...
Hi mate, have you every thought of using a slightly shorter stick? I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and think you’d benefit from a slightly shorter stick. The mechanics of your shot just loot that bit off. I know it’s all personal preference etc. But from what I can see your sticks slightly long. That’s also why your struggling with the drag and snap shot (shooting close in to the body) and you prefer the quarter / half slap shot or snapshot.
I used to use a shorter stick but my skating style and upright posture due to my rheumatoid arthritis forced me to be upright and therefore use a longer stick to compensate. Just part of the challenge. Also that’s more of a lie thing can only bring so close to the body depending on lie. Retail doesn’t have many options there but I’m doing a custom with pro and going to change the lie a bit. As well I get comments on things sometimes where physically I’m only capable of so much. I may look like I’m in great shape etc but my disease is pretty severe and mostly it’s very limiting in a number of areas I hide as best I can
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviewsman I know your pain. I’ve just had my hip replaced 3 weeks ago (all is going well). And for the last 6 years it’s hindered my skating a lot. Wish I’d had got the surgery years ago instead of struggling for years. I understand why you require the longer stick. Pain sucks. I’ve got 4 custom ProStockSticks they are great. I use the Panarin curve. I went from the P92 to P28 but with the P28 shooting consistency is a hit or a miss. But I just wanted to try the P28 to see what the hype was all about. So I’m using the PRO1910 (ST: ARTEMI PANARIN) that’s slightly more straighter than the P92. It’s like a P91a with a curve to it. Rather than a heal curve that’s a wedge and straight blade. If you like Slapshots and the quarter / half slapshots try the P05 (Lidstrom) curve. It’s a lower lie so you’d be using the stick more closely to the body and get over the top of the puck more. Oh and it might help with them pulling the puck closer to the body (toe drag to the body) shots. Keep up the great content man. Very informative.
@@barrymcaully sorry to hear. Glad you’re on the recovery though. I was the same with an ankle brake and plate. Left it in for years and was just brutal skating. Finally got it out and was so much better. Hopefully you will get there. Thanks for the suggestions I’m gonna check it out when I’m building my customs
Nice review! You caught me off guard saying that the mid kicker is ranked higher than my trusty ASV Pro! Is the new one you got from Gepetto a different mid kicker than the one I tried out?
Yeah the one you used was a bit different. I actually forgot I had it was a custom build. As my friend orders like 10 of these things and gave me a bunch. The builds all have a few tweaks. Haha I knew you would be like wuttttt! You know how it is though sticks are about fit to your game and feel.
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 !!
I have suggested to Geppetto to make a hybrid kick point stick, and also make some common curves (like P92) available at different lies. I'd love a P92 in a lie 4.5 But, I think the hybrid is like the low kick taper ... expensive R&D.
One opinion...Better review leaving out the mocking of other channels. Maybe very rarely a dig so your audience knows how you feel is ok. Also, since it's gear folks watching should quickly drop flex, length, curve, stats. I think you did this more in earlier videos. Seems you've moved from using 85 - 90 flex to 75 - 80. But sometimes we don't know what you got.
The crapping on other channels is only when the post dumb stuff or contradictory information. It won’t be in every video. In fact the next 4 are all just reviews. However I try and keep them interesting and not just staring at a stick for 30 min while I talk. Howpfully you like the Rekker review as I think it’s unique. I mean flex ect are all even more subjective what I use doesn’t really matter for everyone else but yes I can give me specs quickly when I drop the sticks I’ll make a note. However I have an updated shooting video coming where I discuss why I’ve switched my flexes
Justin, you seriously need to get a new microphone and/or work on the levels. Get the RØDE one I sent you info about, it's a one time purchase for life, and you'll love it. Aside from that, great content as always :)
I’m just lazy. The ones I have all suck. And between games, vids. Working 12 hour days just like dang it. Need to test some Out to because I have tried 4 different ones and all just kinda meh

Yeah the one you used was a bit different. I actually forgot I had it was a custom build. As my friend orders like 10 of these things and gave me a bunch. The builds all have a few tweaks. Haha I knew you would be like wuttttt! You know how it is though sticks are about fit to your game and feel.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews Haha totally! I want to try that mid kicker in the McKinnon curve.
@mongillohockey it’s a sweet curve
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 !!
If you’re talking the company called custom hockey sticks, their sticks are very low end so not worth it over pro
What is your stick length with your skates on?
Up to my nose usually. It’s 61 inches. I cut 1 inch of ccm sticks basically
how can you still grow as a shooter? you already scoring 10 goals a game!
Lol well like actually 1-3 so I can grow to ten ;)
I bought Pro mid kick laine curve just last weekend just definitely exceeded my expectations lol got it for 180 cause of a sale great stick
That’s sick
Price and man
That laine owns
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews lol best 180 ive spent

I have suggested to Geppetto to make a hybrid kick point stick, and also make some common curves (like P92) available at different lies. I'd love a P92 in a lie 4.5
But, I think the hybrid is like the low kick taper ... expensive R&D.
I spoke with him briefly and he seemed open
One opinion...Better review leaving out the mocking of other channels. Maybe very rarely a dig so your audience knows how you feel is ok. Also, since it's gear folks watching should quickly drop flex, length, curve, stats. I think you did this more in earlier videos. Seems you've moved from using 85 - 90 flex to 75 - 80. But sometimes we don't know what you got.
The crapping on other channels is only when the post dumb stuff or contradictory information. It won’t be in every video. In fact the next 4 are all just reviews. However I try and keep them interesting and not just staring at a stick for 30 min while I talk. Howpfully you like the Rekker review as I think it’s unique.
I mean flex ect are all even more subjective what I use doesn’t really matter for everyone else but yes I can give me specs quickly when I drop the sticks I’ll make a note. However I have an updated shooting video coming where I discuss why I’ve switched my flexes
Justin, you seriously need to get a new microphone and/or work on the levels. Get the RØDE one I sent you info about, it's a one time purchase for life, and you'll love it. Aside from that, great content as always :)
I’m just lazy. The ones I have all suck.
And between games, vids. Working 12 hour days just like dang it.
Need to test some
Out to because I have tried 4 different ones and all just kinda meh
who cares
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviewslet me send you some additional info on the RØDE ones, don't worry about it, good stuff in the video!
@@aborum75 do they have a wireless though? For ice etc right
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviewsyeah sure, RØDE are 100% on top of their game for microphones, and .. sorry to say this but Hockey Tutorial (COUGH COUGH) also uses their mics ;)
im gonna buy a mid kick after my e5 pro breaks
Yah good call
