Product Description
An explosive composite twig, the Easton V9 inspires top-level performance with its lightweight and rugged design. The V9 combines new forms of technology to result in a stick that loads and releases with impressive velocity, resulting in an impressive energy transfer on every shot.
The stick features a Thin Taper with a Tuned Flex Shaft Profile; this means, the lower part of the shaft is thinner and tapers where the shaft meets the blade. The Tuned Flex Profile works with your bodyweight to store energy below where your bottom hand is placed to fully load up your sticks. As most hockey players know, your bottom hand is key to releasing your shot with velocity -- with the V9, your release will be exceptionally smooth and quick.
In terms of the V9’s blade, it features what Easton refers to as Hypertoe. This design combines a stiff toe with a softened taper section. The available curve patterns for the V9 include the Dual Lie Patterns E3, E28, and E36. These patterns are designed to keep the puck on the toe of your blade.
Expert Notes
The blade on the V9 is lightly textured and unbelievably soft. It provides awesome feel on the puck, and is great on pass receptions. It’s very smooth on its shot release as well. This twig also has a nice taper towards the distal end of the shaft, which creates an extremely noticeable lower kick point. If you’re a bit of a loyalist when it comes to Easton sticks, we’d compare the V9 as being most similar to a Mako twig or to a Stealth CX in terms of shaft feel and flex point.
