Overview
The Limited Edition Sherwood Rekker EK15 Vintage Grip Hockey Stick combines timeless and classic looks with some of the best modern-day stick technologies around. Just like the original, this Vintage EK15 stick showcases a handmade-made construction process that provides players with extremely consistent flex and feel throughout.
The Rekker EK15 utilizes a true one-piece spear construction process that gives players an incredible puck feel, excellent balance and a consistent flex profile. Sherwood used a high grade carbon fiber that is 30% lighter than it's competition, providing top notch pop and responsiveness players are looking for. The EK15 is even 45 grams lighter than the Nexon N12 and 65 grams lighter than the True Touch T100.
Sherwood took the previous Vibration Reduction Foam Core++ and looked to evolve it. The new VRF.2 uses a much improved high density foam core that helps to keep the stick feeling newer, longer. Providing the support and rigidity, the carbon bridge ensures the blade face stays square to the target without opening up and losing accuracy.

Previous Feedback
Comments: This is my second EK 15 grip that I have bought and I love the lightweight feel of this sherwood stick. I play every monday night all year round and I am thrilled with the responsiveness of the EK 15 in puck handling & explosive wrist/ snap shots. The stick is very strong and durable for being so light weight, solid puck feel and the grip has real feel to it. I bought the wood vintage (2nd EK15) and it has classic look that really looks like an old school twig. Sherwood is offering a high end stick for a great price too. You can pay more for CCM/ Bauer but it wont under 400 grams in weight and will cost a lot more than $200. Try this stick - you will be impressed !
