The CCM Ribcor line has been a favorite amongst the “low kick” crowd for years now. With the launch of the Ribcor Trigger 3D we see some major changes in technology without affecting the long time appeal. CCM used an all-new speared shaft construction and X-Flow Resin Technology that significantly improves energy transfer, durability and overall playability. The unique RibCor Shaft Geometry is much more gradual this year, which better allows energy to transfer through the stick and into the puck for a quicker, harder shot release. Here are the specs-
- Construction:
- Speared one-piece construction with Sigmatex 18K Carbon Fiber
- Flatter, spread two weave that is lighter, stronger and more responsive than ever before
- Provides a superb level of durability, strength, and stiffness in the lower hosel area
- New speared construction provides a more direct feel for the puck and more efficient transfer of energy through each shot
- Enhanced RibCor Pop Matrix Technology
- Smoother integrated of the Pop Matrix allows for a more effective energy transfer
- Optimized construction keeps performance fibers in permanent tension while the shaft corners help to protect them
- Performance fibers have been re-engineered to deliver an even quicker shot release and a more efficient energy transfer process than the previous generations
- X-Flow Technology
- New manufacturing process that provides better a strength-to-weight ratio by using less resin and more carbon fiber
- Speared one-piece construction with Sigmatex 18K Carbon Fiber
- Flex Profile:
- Optimized Low-kick Point
- Ideal for the “finesse” shooter who’s looking to get a shot off as quick as possible
- Enables for the x and y-axis of the stick to unload at the same time for better efficiency and effectiveness
- Optimized Low-kick Point
- Geometry:
- Straight sidewalls with rounded corners
- Grip:
- Grip stick coating
- Blade:
- Ascent Blade 3 Construction with tactile blade surface
- Soft heel that gradually gets stiffer as it nears the toe for excellent puck feel for stickhandling and deadly accuracy when shooting
- Ultra-lightweight design raises the balance point for enhanced playability
- Aramid fiber reinforced heel and toe for significant durability improvements
- Ascent Blade 3 Construction with tactile blade surface
