TheGoalNet Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I have been testing the Sher-Wood BPM150 stick. We don't have a Sher-Wood thread, so I figured it would be a good time to start one! The new stick is light and the rebounds feel great off it. The blade is also very thin at the leading edge and it feels like it helps chips pucks into the glass. The coating / finish on it is a major disappointment so far. However, I gave up on tape grips with NXG and anyone who likes to tape the handle might not feel the same. My concern with the grip has been chronicled pretty well though on my spray grip thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichMan Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Since we're talking Sher-Wood sticks, I was at one point devoted to the 5030. Light, responsive handling and so so durable. Since they are harder to find in stores around Gatineau/Ottawa, I migrated towards Warrior for a while. BUT, low and behold, as I was out shopping for a backup stick, I put my hands on an all wood 530. To my surprise it felt pretty light and well balanced, not to mention a seriously low price of $40 to boot. I've used it 3 times so far and I'm quite pleased with it. The handling is different from a foam core or composite as there's less flex, but I'll just have to work on my getting used to stick handling with a traditional wood stick again. Last time I used one was maybe in the 90s. If you're on a serious budget, they are worth the try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 I used Sher-Wood 5030s forever. They reminded me of the original Koho and Heaton foam core sticks I used as a kid. They were the lightest and had no thrills. As much as I am "unbaised" every now and again, there are certain products I want to love. This Sher-Wood is definitely one of them.

Kayen Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I am another devout 5030 user. I'm on my last one and I figure it won't last too much longer with how my season has been going. Very simple foam core sticks that just work and play very, very well. I have a few T80's I snagged for dirt cheap in same paddle size and curve that I need to slowly transition into, as I try to work my way into a composite stick again.

MTH Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Agreed. The demise of the 9950 goal sticks was sad. I loved them. I know they make them again as they did before - just not the same. 2012 - the last of the Canadian made: Then there was a few years of the Chinese junk.. Then these now: Man, for $100 - You start getting into the low end composite range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I used one was maybe in the 90s. If you're on a serious budget, they are worth the try. I have a 530 stick and it felt good to me as well, however there isn't much re-enforcement on it, ie: no carbon/Aramid strips like TPS used to put on their pro level sticks. So my 530 felt good, but only lasted maybe 3 ice sessions before a pick splintered the shift hopefully yours lasts longer. I think the Warrior wood stick has better re-enforcement, but I can't find one around here. But anyway, what happened with SherWood, they used to dominate the goalie stick world, now-a-days you hardly see them. It's all Warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 @MTH - From a reliable source inside pro hockey, I have heard that's a top reason NHL guys are going composite. The consistency with foam cores batch to batch is gone. It's making guys open to trying new things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I have a lightly used legit 9950 stick that I never use anymore. Its white with black logo, 25". I'd sell it but I can only imagine how annoying shipping a stick must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Post wasn't helpful. They measure knob to tip of the blade, so it's a long as possible. I just got a 1S shipped from BC to Sask and it was $34 Canadian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warrior composite stick I had, lower end, each time I'd get a shot on it the vibration would just numb my hand like an aluminum bat. I can't see myself spending $200+ on a stick to see it crack on me within a couple games. If my budget was better, then I wouldn't care as much.
