The Lightest Goalie Stick?

[.otto.]

I was wondering what the lightest goalie stick on the market is?

I'm thinking the RBK P2, or the Sherwood 9990X. I don't have a clue, and if anyone has exact weights that would be really helpful, and if anyone has feedback on the balance of the sticks.

Thanks,
Chris

eh i dont like light sticks. foward or goalie. i use wood sticks the NikeBauer one95 is pretty light. i can say that ive owned heavier toothbrushes than it. I find a little bit of weight, i can launchhh the puck down-ice to a blitzkrieg-ing foward.

Break it down into categories: Wood, Foam core, and Composite.

Composites are much lighter than the others for the most part, but foam cores and wood sticks seem to be more durable.

What kind of $ are you willing to dish out, and how long does the stick have to last you, these are good questions too.

Well, I really want to go with TPS, seeing as my Response Plus has served me very well, but the Int. is just too small.

I am using a wooden 24" SWD right now, and it's small as well. I know TPS runs very small, so I wan't to get a 26" paddle from TPS in an R6. I see goalie monkey has a pretty good deal on those. The lundqvist stick looks pretty good.

But getting back to the question, I really like light sticks. I feel they allow me to move the stick around faster, making it easier to control rebounds with my stick. I'm willing to shel out a decent amount of money, seeing as I'm buying a paddle lentgth that will last me awhile. I'm 5'7", so a small SR. paddle should be good.

Does anyone know anyhting about the RBK P2? The Luongo paddle feels like the perfect length. (I've tried it in another stick)

Overall I'm looking for a high quality stick in a small SR. paddle length, that is light, and has durability. A deal would be nice as well

The RBK premier 2 sticks are really light, and there cheap.


i got 3 for 240 , decent if you ask me

Stacey will make you a stick as light as you want basicly, as long as you are willing to give up durability and pay alot opf money.

i use one of the rbk composite sticks and the thing is amazing and has lasted through two summers and a season. if your willing to spend some money, these sticks last.

First off the 9990x would be really heavy (I think it's a glorified C10). With Sher-Wood, the higher the number, the more stuff in it, the more stuff the heavier.

Every company has their lightest(s) and I've had almost all of them. Here is a short list

RbK: P2 6k PRO Version. i.e. the kind you get at don satan's
SWD: The 5030 is the lightest they have in foam core and the 530 is lightest in wood. Both are inexpensive and can be custom ordered SOP (even lighter)
TPS: The X-Lite was always the lightest stick on the market. I don't know what they re-named it but it was incredibly light. Durability is an issue because the TPS heels crack
NBH: The new 4500 seems like a great stick. Very light as well.
Montreal: Not really all that light but very durable

Stay away from composite because most of them feel weird and also cost way more and the prices arn't getting lower. If you do not buy the high end 1 piece you're hardly saving any weight from wood or foam core.

If I were you I'd get the TPS X-Lite in 27" (they run 2 inches too big and I think 25" should be perfect for you. I use a 26 at 5'8 but I don't crouch low or wide). Second would be the SWD 5030 because it has a great rep or the 4500 which is a great twig.

So basically if you want pure light weight go for the X-Lite or 4500
If you want the durability of foam core go 5030.

SWD, TPS and NBH all have custom order mins of only 6 and if you can find a good dealer you can get a good price.

Please trust me I have gone through everything, and I know my sticks :P
Also I've had XXX's and they were the lightest and I liked them but people complain about bad batches. mine were good for a long time so take your risks wisely.

I bought my SWD foam-core "Premier 3s" from ******* and its lighter than my RBK Pro Foam. My brother bought a One75 a while back and when I compared it to my RBK, and the RBK was lighter. I like foam-core sticks because they take considerable abuse and are almost as light as the composites, for less money. I'm sure the One95, R8, or the RBK premier 2 are lighter than most, but the only composite stick I'd buy would be the Montreal Nitro Lite, provided I had that kind of money to burn. It feels like a wood or foam stick, it's light, and as far as I've seen with the goal and player sticks, it's durable.
I'm not saying I have a bad temper or anything, but my sticks need to be pretty durable.

not at all pal. The pro versions are heavier than 9950 SOPs and I've had both. I wont use stock ones they're brutal. Heavy and akward feeling and RbK is expensive.

EDIT:

.Otto. check your PM's

[bellness]

well mine arent heavy at all. pal

[Vinnie33]

I had a 3-pack of 9990x's - they were very light but they all cracked in the blade from hard shots so I wont be using them again. Just bought 2 XPulse Brodeu Sticks - feel sturdy and thick, but a little heavier - I'll have to get re - used to it again...but they feel strong

[bakin]

I believe the Montreal Nitro Lite (The highest end Montreal) is the lightest stick.
