estogoalie Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) I've been into Frontier sticks the last year or two. Before I was into all-wood TPS sticks, and didn't like foam-core because it didn't feel as stiff. The Frontier 9985G is foam-core, but still feels stiff as a regular all-wood stick. Thinner profile than Warrior. And best of all... Frontier sticks are made in Estonia Here's my 14 year old son with one of my ...errr... now his... custom Frontier stick (reminder to self: have to double the size of my next order) Edited September 20, 2017 by estogoalie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 I actually love how it looks and support it. If I was foam core, I’d be all in! This isn’t the first time Sherwood had gone this route either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t the first time Sherwood had gone this route either... I like it also and might get one if they have a color scheme that works. But the reason it has the paint scheme that it does is that sher-wood didn’t want to pay the NHL licensing fee, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Correct. But, their smart to offer it at retail.

He thinks they’ll be available forever as long as he can get them through prostockheckey.com. I think he will have to switch eventually. I have several Bauer Hybrid and even a bunch of full wood and wooden foam cores left. I am in love with the Bauer Hybrids and I will be crushed when I can’t find any more. I hope to play into my 70s. I suppose I could roll my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creasecollector Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 As someone who went back to foam core this season to preserve my 2 comps left, I appreciate how durable these can be. Sure, it loses it's "pop", but no stress of it breaking which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I am a big fan of the Sher-Wood SL900 Foam Core. Available at Canadian Tire for $99. Went in to buy one a couple weeks ago, they were on sale for $59, so I bought 3! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyazhito Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 What's the advantage of foam core sticks over composite? Most sticks available for retail are composite nowadays. Same thing for most custom companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most sticks available for retail are composite nowadays. Same thing for most custom companies. Essentially, a composite stick is a composite-shafted, foam core stick with composite skin enveloping the entire stick. The foam core stick essentially uses a few layers of fibreglass to give the foam just enough rigidity and protection to be used as the main stick material. It plays a lot like wood with lighter weight. It catches pucks well, passes and shoots wonderfully. But foam core eventually breaks down and feels like a noodle, unless you reinforce it internally with some fibre cloth in the foam. Encase it in full composite, the foam doesn’t break down like a foam core, and there is more of a pop like a composite player stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
