"one of these is a top line stick" as he keeps the FT5 in one hand and the other two in his other hand.
"One is mid line" as he transfers the mid line stick to the same hand as the ft5 pro.
"And one is budget" as he holds it in his hand and looks at it 🤣

Yeah, totally unbiased.

[Trytec]

accuracy test has way too much human error factor to be an actual test. I get the idea of wanting to cover up the sticks with tape but that much tape, strictly my opinion and not backed by any science, will change the characteristics of the stick I would imagine

[Ryan]

how is it a true test if you're adding a pound of tape

[johnjones]

You could clearly, without any doubt whatsoever tell you weren’t shooting as hard with the 475 than the pro. And if you deny that you are a liar

[timlee]

Hitting the target has less to do with the stick than it does with the actual shooter?

[nathanh]

More vids like this but with Bauer or true or warrior maybe even pro stick sticks 🙏🏿

[PxThucydides]

I would have liked to have seen some bend in these sticks to see what the difference would be, because that's what they are designed to do: store up energy and release. But that's a pretty tough technique to pull off.

Depending on player height, you can on occasion save money with an intermediate stick. Minus if you need like an 85 flex, you can usually get the same flex, but the stick are normally a little lighter. $100 warrior stick is like 435oz and the intermediate is like 380. Have to look it up again for the exact numbers, but the intermediate was close to the weight of their mid line stick. If you're 6 foot and need a 80-85 flex, it wont work, but if you're under 6 foot and stay around 70-75, you can usually find an option that'll work. Also most of this isn't that important if people are just doing beer league XD. No one needs to go spend $300+ on a stick.

Can we get a shot tutorial from gabe????

[jhill]

Haha I don’t know why I watch these kinds of videos, I guess for entertainment, but I love the message here. If you don’t go for the best model, you might as well save your money and go for the cheapest option. I think practicing with that cheap stick can even have advantages since it’s heavier. The gear that you shouldn’t save money on in my opinion is the helmet and maybe the skates.

[snowmanism]

adding all that weight in tape makes the test pointless.

Once you go to a $300 stick, you cannot never go back to a $100. They feel like uncut pieces of lumber...

Maybe things have changed today but 10 years ago when I went from a Bauer Vapor X40 ($100) to the X60 ($300), the X40 felt like holding a steel pipe....

[batmancollects]

u sure the prices are right? how is the FT5 Pro only $319 ? last time I was in your store it was 399.99

[schammy]

Maybe you shouldn’t stick handle so much before your first shot, I’ve noticed in this video and past videos, the more you stick handle the less likely you are to hit the target on your first shot

[donairsauce]

I've been buying 1 model down from the top of the line since second year U15, sometimes I'll pick up last years top model if it goes on sale but over the years I've found the second from the top sticks have way better durability. So if you break a lot of sticks and still have to pay for them I'd stay away from getting the flagship stick every single time you break a twig

[Mustang_Dan]

Wait did you guys actually do full toe to knob tape jobs on 6 sticks so that you could do a right and left handed shooters? How much tape did that require?

[SpriteRealMonkey]

I got my CCM jet speed 5pro but it was kinda low priced even without my 50% off discount I’m so confused

[Sportsprodz]

Can you please put synthetic ice on sale for $10

[hockeystream]

Wow the FT5s didn`t break! In my opinion the last stick`s generation is the most fragile.

[alexanderh.]

For a beer league player it makes barely any difference. Save your money and buy the cheaper stick
