CCM has produced one of the lightest sticks on the market in the new CCM Vector U + CL Grip series and have added the Tavares edition. The stick is modeled after John Tavares of the New York Islanders, having all the same features of the CCM U + Crazy Light, but sporting a eye catching blue and orange Islander’s colors as well as the Tavares curve.
CCM has produced a lightweight stick of 405 grams in total weight by using multiple layers of high-grade carbon fiber.
As most hockey players, a concern with the lightweight stick is the sacrifice of performance and durability. CCM has addressed this in full with an impact enhanced slash zone and a tapered shaft for a low kick point aiding in faster shot releases.
Throw in the matte textured feel for better puck control and you have yourself one heck of a hockey stick.
CCM has a video explaining the separation between them and the competitors. Also check out the CCM U + CL Hockey Skates that Matt previewed to match the stick. Both can be found at Ice Warehouse.
