TheGoalNet Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Not too familiar with an ABS. How will that differ from a foam core? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual blade of the stick is ABS plastic. Economically priced and popular amongst young goalies as well as beer leaguers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same stuff used in household drain pipes - the black stuff (at least in Canada). @Jukka Ropponen: The blade is ABS, but what about the paddle and shaft? Is the ABS blade solid? Also, I know you said it's kids and beer leagers, but can you quantify the the durability and price of the ABS relative to the two others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I was too vague. Jukka's answer was perfect. I wanted to know what was replaced with ABS in the stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jukka Ropponen Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 ABS actually holds up real well, but for the taller adult sticks it becomes kind of heavy. For smaller sticks that is not an issue. It is also good for roller and street hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estogoalie Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Where/how can sticks be ordered? Where are they made? How much do they cost?...I'm mainly interested in the vintage. I ran thru my current batch of Foam-Core Frontier's, and had to reach deep into my closet and get out some NOS all-wood TPS RW4...and I just remembered how much I love non-foam core solid wood sticks!

Price would be 40,54€ for GP-2 Vintage sticks. That includes 24% Finnish VAT. When we sell to dealers outside Finland we can take the VAT off.
