CCM FT Ghost Hockey Stick
The CCM FT Ghost hockey stick carves a unique path in CCM's history, offering a powerful option distinct from their top Jetspeed line. This limited-edition release caters to players who prioritize a blend of power and response in their shots. It achieves this by incorporating a hybrid kick point, combining elements of both mid-kick and low-kick profiles. This allows for a powerful loading zone for shots while maintaining responsiveness for quicker releases. The FT Ghost also features the X-Soft Pro blade, a popular pro stock option known for exceptional puck feel and control. CCM emphasizes the stick's "C" geometry shaft, a rounded design improving handling and comfort for better overall stick control.
Key features include:
| Hybrid Kick Point | Provides a balance between easily loading powerful shots and creating quick, accurate releases. |
| C-Geometry Shaft Shape | Features rounded corners for a comfortable grip and improved handling and control compared to traditional concave sidewalls. |
| Sigmatex STP Carbon Fiber | A carbon fiber weave used in the shaft, designed to be lightweight and high-strength. |
| Nanolite Shield Technology | High-performance materials which create a feather-light feel without sacrificing strength. |
| X-Soft Pro Blade Core | A soft blade for maximum confidence when stick handling and catching passes. |
| FT Microfeel Grip | A raised grip texture on the bottom edges of the shaft’s mid-section to improve control of the stick. |
Top Competitors
The FT Ghost boasts a high mid-kick for maximum power and a distinct pop on release, ideal for those who prioritize pure blasting power.The Nexus Sync also has a high mid-kick, but focuses on optimizing flex for a good balance of power and feel on your shots. This might not be the best choice if you prioritize raw power over some finesse. The Alpha LX Pro takes a different approach with a mid-kick flex and their Saber Taper technology for a powerful and accurate release for both slapshots and quick wrist shots.
Progression of the CCM FT Ghost
The FT Ghost is a limited edition stick without any direct predecessors, but it features several new upgrades:
- Shaft design: The FT Ghost debuts CCM’s “C” shaft geometry, which creates a rounded-corner shaft shape meant to improve grip, feel, and stickhandling.
- Blade: The new X-Soft blade with Sigma STP carbon weave works to improve puck feel and shot speed while retaining stiffness towards the toe end and top half of the blade to preserve pop.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Amazing stick overall for shot, speed, agility, and stick handling. |
| Best stick I have ever had. I can shoot fast and lift the puck higher. |
| One of the best sticks to ever exist. It's light, fast, hard. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| The stick snapped in half at the base about 12” above the blade. |
| The blade cracked at the heel within one day of the warranty expiring. |
| The stick broke within a week of purchase. It chipped at the curve and broke twice. |
The Ghost's balance and lightweight nature contribute to excellent maneuverability. It has a natural, almost effortless feel during stickhandling and passing, which can be particularly beneficial in high-pressure situations. The hybrid kickpoint makes it a super versatile option. It performs well for forwards and defensemen, though players who exclusively take heavy slap shots might prefer a stick with a higher kickpoint.
