LITY, was that with the overly curved stick, or what they're using now? I think he would’ve slaughtered the puck by sending it 106 or even 107.

The differences are slight. Maximum velocity comes from the perfect strike at the perfect angle and not so much the material the stick is made from.

He was still winning that competition with wood when others were using the composite stuff. I know the measurements on Iafrate/ Hull but head to head, I stick take big AlMac. 1st poster. From what I am told ( I still prefer my wood so can't speak from experience) the composite sticks can add 10-15 MPH to a shot. Chara uses a Warrior AK-27 At least last year he used that). I would say the difference between that and an Iafrae stick would be that same 10-15 MPH on average range. Perhaps Zap could say better? I’ll take Al MacInnis.
