cwarnar Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I thought I'd share the exciting news that I'm the new proud owner of this beauty: I got it off sideline swap from the Calgary Hitman of the WHL. I'm currently using a WELLS Pro Stock 1S so I think I'll be able to a good review/comparison. I'll add to the thread once I have the stick in hand, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 It looks Bishop-y too. My CR1s are Bishops, toe curve with a twist. Pitching wedge style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have a heel twist but the Bishop is a lot more pronounced. Still tough to determine without having it in our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwarnar Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Seller says it's a custom curve for Carl Stankowski of the Calgary Hitmen. I'm thinking heel curve vs the mid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Nice. Can't wait to get one of these. I hope they offer a similar stock color scheme as the CR1. Those match my team perfectly. Still no grip on the top of the paddle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopaloop1234 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Looks to me like it has the same semi-tacky feel as the CR1. Unless you guys were referring to more of a grip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 No I actually love that these sticks don't have that grip coating that the Bauers have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman30 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Surprised this is the only the second one to pop up on here with the amount of pro return ones that were on sideline swap and Pro Stock Hockey. If I hadn't grab two Sherwoods I would have grab a couple of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has just enough friction to feel it, but not enough to grip your hand in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using sniper skin paddle grips on my sticks for years. Saves my blocker palms and has just enough tackiness to feel confident while not your hand during a poke.

Out of the box first impressions: 1. Slightly heavier then the 1S in the hand. I'm planning to grab a food scale and get an official weight tomorrow night. 2. Grip - there definitely isn't a dedicated grip like on my 1S but as @coopaloop1234 and @SaveByRichter35 mentioned it's a different texture that will prevent slippage (distinct feel from the paddle or shaft). 3. Size - my 1S is a Wells pro return that was listed as a 26". The V1 Pro was listed as a 27". Here's the difference at paddle and shaft: I previously had a CR3 in a 26" which was actually smaller than the 1S. I'm planning to use the stick in my Friday pick up game and will give on ice feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagoal Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Awesome, looking forward to your review. Does it have the grooves on the shaft to make it slippery like the CR1 does? That is my one gripe about the CR1, too slippery for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see what it's like. I'll be adding a Buttendz Flux to this stick as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
