southpawtendy48 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Do you prefer foam core over composite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the feel of foam core over a composite, but i've heard that sticks like the true and 1x sticks are composites that play like a foamcore, so id get one of those. I chose the CCM pro because they have the holtby curve, and that curve seemed like a good for me, as I like to give strong passes when I play the puck, and i'm a big fan of the feel of Sherwoods, so I chose the high end foam core from them as a top option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 @Max27 you’re a younger guy, why not get a composite and make the change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still want a foam core (just based on my experience), the Reebok Premier 24k is a good one, it’s advertised in some places as a composite stick but is way too heavy to be one. that’s not much of a downside though, it’s still a great stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c.p Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I agree with southpawtendy, I used the bpm 150 for 2 seasons (then made the switch to the 1s), and it really is an amazing stick especially at the price point, so i would definitely recommend getting that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creasecollector Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I've always had good results in performance and durability with my CCM's. And seeing how you like the curve and you like to play the puck a lot, I voted for the CCM Pro. My last 2 foam core sticks I bought were CCM's. I still have both. I also made the jump to composite with the CCM Premier Plus and after a quick adjustment period, I'm loving these composites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
