Food for thought in light of today’s struggling economy…

In addition to paying for technology design and slightly more complicated manufacturing due to the holes in the shaft, the RBK 9KO stick is MADE IN CANADA. Check all other sticks and you will see MADE IN CHINA, or in Warrior’s case: MADE IN MEXICO.

BE PROUD TO SPEND AN EXTRA $50-$100 FOR TOP-OF-THE-LINE EQUIPMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE CANADIAN OR US FACTORY WORKER!

SUPPORT YOUR ECONOMY DIRECTLY BY PAYING MORE FOR STUFF MADE BY YOUR NEIGHBOR IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY!

I do agree that this equipment is far from necessary for youth hockey players. Don’t fool yourself, if your kid isn’t an elite-level hockey player in an elite-level program, the 9KO isn’t any advantage in performance. Then again, if you have the money, by all means, spend it however you like; just don’t break your own budget buying elite-level hockey equipment for no legitimate gain.

i used one at my kid’s practice the other night and to tell you the truth i found the stick to be too soft. felt fragile to say the least.

My God does anyone use a wooded stick anymore? My personal favorite growing up and to this day because I have a few left is the TITAN SuperPro….followed by HESPELER and Bending Branches. I used the stiff shafts because of my slapshot. These three brands were great. I just can’t get used to these composites.

Well, my son is now using the new 9K-O and let me tell you something…. it’s sweet. A little heavier than his Easton Stealth but the weight is ‘end loaded’ and the final blade velociity on his shot has increased as a result. I’m sure that the holes have less to do with it than the change in center balance of the stick. With the increased material to ’strengthen’ at the holes, you also change the flex point which he and I will both attest, adds to increased velocity and control. He’s an average to small 11 year old and I’m sorry but… this stick DOES add to his shot. I bought it primarily due to the Datsyuk blade ( 5.5 lie, closed face, mid curve) since this is FAR MORE IMPORTANT that a price….. but was REALLY impressed with the stick as a whole. You DO get what you pay for folks…..
