I need a new stick. I have been using Warrior Dolomites for a while. I am thinking of getting the 77 flex Malkin curve. Just let me know how you think it is.
Personally I hate nike bauer sticks. They break easily in my opinion and I just don't like the feel of the shaft its oddly shaped I think. I use the east S17 87 flex. Sakic curve for that extra sauce on my wrist shots. I have had my S17 for 2 years and its still going strong and has survived some nasty slashes.
If they are 30,000 mile tires this is normal. And that is what the dealer puts on new cars!
It depends on the tire manufacturer and their warranty as well as your driving habits. We have some highways in Canada that are made of concrete, they last longer but are bad on tires. Most of the time the tires that come with the car are not that great, my lasted 70,000km (45,000 miles). It also depends on the speed rating of the tire. Certain high performance tires are rated for higher speeds, but don't last as long because they have softer tires. (s,t,h) In short, its normal to have original tires expire soon, the most important thing to do is replace them before they become dangerous. And don't go cheap either, buy some good quality tires, after all they are the only thing between your car and the pavement. I recomend Michelin Hydroedge tires, rate for 90,000 miles
I haven't used it myself but I was look at one in the store and it felt really light. Hearing from people that have it and reading reviews, it should be one of the best sticks out there.
Don't even think twice about it. The second you read this, go to the store and get it. I have it, and it's just incredible. It's so light, has such good feel for the puck, good grip, good kick point.it's amazing.
