CCM RBZ Stage 2 Review

Hi beauties

Here is the review for the CCM RBZ Stage 2 stick.

Quick video intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArB3mlGUmas&feature=youtu.be

The stick had a nice feel to it when it was shooting. The only problem when shooting was you didn't get much feel for the puck. It didn't feel like something you would find in a high end stick. The grip was very nice. Really sticky but not super sticky. Also available in clear too, for those who don't like the grip. It has a extremely smooth matte finish on the blade. It is durable and the adhesive on hockey tape sticks to it better than a rough or gloss finished blade. The looks on the stick are really nice. My team jerseys are red, white and black so the stick would look pretty good with it, even though looks are not the main concern when buying a stick (unless your 7 years old) but it usually is a bonus!!

Specs:

The blade is a SpeedBlade 2 with Freak Channels. Since the stick is not mine I couldn't try slapshots or snapshots, only wristshots. You don't feel that big of a difference with wristers but maybe if you took some harder shots you would feel a difference.

It has a Power Swing Technology which helps the feel when swinging the stick back and forth. I noticed that while shooting! It makes a more balanced feel while shooting.

The Custom Kick Point makes the kick point change when your shooting. It is almost like the Intelli-Sense Shot Technology on the Bauer Vapor APX and APX2 line. It makes the flex points change on wristshots, snapshots and slapshots. 

Overall the CCM RBZ Stage 2 was nice but nothing special. There are some cool things in them that you notice but don't make a HUGE difference. I would still recommend it though. The stick is $259.

Big thanks to The Hockey Shop in Surrey, BC. If you didn't let me use you sticks and shooting room this blog would not be possible. Check them out: www.thehockeyshop.com
