aircanuck Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I've got two CCM Premier II Pro Authentic sticks (Corey Crawford) and the flaking is pretty bad. Being relatively new to modern equipment, is this pretty consistent with composite sticks or are there some better than others in this department? Being black sticks and having the flakes all over the crease seems to be driving people crazy, they think there is tape on the ice. The more I try your new fangled equipment the more I think I may be a vintage goalie for life. Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadlocked1 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 My Bauer composite has not flaked nearly as bad as my CCM stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math. Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Just got myself a CCM Premier R1.5. Since it's brand new it's holding up fine, I'll let you know if it ever happens and how long it took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Maybe it's just the CCMs that flake. Neither my True stick nor my Northstar stick have flaked up the crease. In all fairness the paint on the True stick never chipped or anything and it was white. My Northstar stick only has painted letters so there's not much to flake anyways.

Mroy31 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I had bad flaking with any Bauer stick below the top of the line models. No flaking with 1S or TotalONE sticks. The lower models were just about as durable, just annoying flakes like you described. No experience with CCM sticks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I haven't noticed any flaking with my CR1 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircanuck Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Thanks for the replies! Sounds like I need to shy away from these CCM sticks. I notice when I re-tape it pretty much peels the top layer off the stick, and makes a mess of the blade. It's definitely a sensitive finish.

Korppi32 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I don´t know about CCM, because my Premier 2 lasted 2,5 ice sessions. My Bauer Reactor 4000s flaked badly but otherwise those were strong sticks. Reactor 6000, NXG and SPro have different kinf of paintings and didn´t flake.

Cheers, Neil Try wiping it down with an abrasive material to reduce the flaking on ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
