Kitchener has improved the balance, durability and feel of its NHL-quality extra performance series for the upcoming season. Varying densities of fiberglass in different locations along the shaft allow for better control of consistency, weight, and stiffness. A new combination of formulated blade resins reduce mass, increase durability, ensure blade stiffness, torque and shot velocity of the blades all at significant cost savings. Combined with our innovative use of SVL (Sandwich Veneer Lamination) technology for the ultimate in increased strength at the glue joint to prevent breakage, we are producing the ultimate in hockey sticks today.
