Cman owns that stick. When he comes on, he might give you one.

I have a Sherwood 9950 and it is a pretty solid stick. The only weird thing is that it is labelled as being 26" but compared to my CCM V6 it is almost 2 inches longer. It is heavier than both my V6 and my Itech pro goal stick but is very solid feeling and is stiffer than both of them. I guess it is almost like the stiffness difference between 85 and 100 on a forward stick, not that it matters to most people but i figure maybe it's an issue for those who play the puck a lot. If you have any more questions don't be afraid to ask Smile

I used to play with a KOHO stick mainly because of the curve and weight. I tried a few CCM models but couldnt get the feel of them right.

After spending some time in a local pro shop I picked out the 9950. I played with it for a little while (a month or so) and really started to like the stick, the weight was a solid balance even with how I tape my stick, the curve led to easy puck handling for me, it just felt like the right stick.

My only concern was that about a month in I broke it, a scrum in front of the net while I was down in the b-fly and when I came up I had half a stick. Normally my sticks last forever (Ive only had about half a dozen since '98-'99.

I decided to pick up another one in the thought that it may have just been a bad stick or a set of circumstances that broke that one. Now I'm 3-4 years into the replacement with no complaints.

If you want pictures of either my broken one (saving broken sticks to make a table out of), or my current stick, let me know and I can post them.
