For the most part you need to be very active on social media and have lots of followers.

always looking for non Reebok L & XL shells......

Make sure that you tastelessly include small children in your social media posts... if you have them.

I did not have a good experience with the Alpha QX I got through the VIP program last year.  I'm not one to complain over a free stick, so understand that this is just feedback and not me pissing and moaning over something trivial.

 

I picked a 75 flex Gallagher (W28).  First few shots, the stick felt off.  Blade felt very dull.  No pop.  No feedback.  It also felt stiffer than any 75 flex I owned.  Another member here who I skate with got the same stick, same curve, same flex.  I tried his and it felt different.  Whippier than mine, and the blade felt a little different.  Still, I did not see why people were raving about it.

 

I tried another one months later in warmups, and it was completely different.  Definitely felt better (although not my favorite stick irrespective of that fact).

 

This is purely speculation on my part, but I think the VIP sticks that went out weren't up to standard quality assurance measurements.  There was no way my stick that I got was a 75 flex.  Had to be 85.  And the blade itself was completely off.  I've never had a stick that had a blade that felt as dead as that one did.  The shots came off okay, but I couldn't feel it.  

Makes sense though, right?  Save a few bucks by sending out sticks that might have not been up to standard and let people advertise for you.

 

I sure as heck wasn't going to pump up their stick on social media if it played like junk.  I also wasn't going to complain about it on social media because I figured I just got a dud.  But I've talked to a few guys who got them and were disappointed or underwhelmed.

 

Hopefully the QR Edge is a better stick and experience for those who get one.

It’s like getting picked for dodgeball or flag football. Even the guys that suck get picked over better players because of the know not the who. Like the insta girls that get one and don’t even skate.

As far as I know, this incorrect.The QX I got last year as a VIP, performed and was just as durable as the custom QX stick I got done after Christmas, it would make no sense for a company to send a cheaper version of the stick to the VIP's, it would end up being very bad publicity for them.

I still think they're factory seconds. Wether the paint/graphic is not 100% perfect or possibly wrong flex printed on stick. I've was apart of the VIP for a while and they never seemed correct.

Also, seem a very fishy that every week after the VIP release they "Find" more sticks available. Seems to me more rejects were found.

it's a marketing ploy for them they dont care about how loyal a customer is or how much they play or their ability they care about who's gonna deep throat their newest stick all over social media. I was talking to Brae (kidcoyote) about it the other day and told him I see no reason for them to send me one after having received the Alpha and hardly promoting it even though I thought it was a great stick, but sure enough they sent me an email as well.

Law of reciprocity. You get a free stick and feel obliged to say good things about it.

If your bag has wheels, you don't.
