Wow used it today for a shoot around and this thing is nice! Love the flex zones. I have the hopkins and it feels good to be close to a sakic pattern again! My snap shots came off very clean and aim was good. The all white stick was prob the biggest part to get use to for me. I tape my blade all white so wasn't that bad. So far I like this stick alot. I did not cut any off. The flex felt really good. I have an 85 grip. Really felt nice shooting from blueline. Quick high hand shots on net were excellent. Good for when I am trying to get one on net with a forward coming out on me on the line. Couple paint chips but o well I am not big on keeping stuff looking new. Long as it performs with me.

I'm looking to get an RBZ60 to back up my RBZ. Retail on the RBZ is just ridiculous. 

[Beer leaguer]

^ grammer after some bills I went the reverse. If I continue to like the 60 ill b looking for a deal on a pro stock rbz for sure! This stick is awesome. Shaft is what sold me after hearing your words on it.

[Huskie94]

I'd love to try out either the RBZ 60 or RBZ. Sounds amazing!

total hockey says 598! I feel like not even your basic composite stick weighs that much. I know they say "strap a rocket to the puck" for the RBZ...sounds like for the RBZ 60 they strapped a brick to the stick

 

490g according to the CCM catalog.  The length of the stick, pattern and if there's any tape will affect the weight.  But then again an extra 100g shouldn't be that noticeable.  It may be easy to differentiate it if you are comparing two sticks side by side but once you start playing you probably won't notice.

Funny how the manufacturers are making the low end sticks look almost identical to their top end sticks...ccm rbz(60) Easton mako(m1,2,3)warrior(dt2,3,4) you really have to look at them alot closer now I find...

[timdog]

100g is like the weight of a bag of chips...

1st game tonight.
Fresh tape job and didn't cut any length off .
Felt awesome good crisp passing and hard shots.
2 goals with it. My toe drags felt amazing with the Sakic like Hopkins pattern. The extra length gave me some really good reach and I'd say I did 10 toe drags tonight without a hitch. So far 10/10. For value I am gonna get another rbz 60 or pro stock rbz for price. Thank you ccm great product!

here are some pics. 

RBZ 60

85 flex grip

nugent-hopkins pattern

 

1st pics show the stick taped and rubbed with a puck on tape. took some shots on a net at home. so still new looking on shaft.

 

Here are some close ups for blade new again

I did a fresh tape job before my game and used wax. Secret to keeping my white stick white I put a coat of sex wax on the actual blade where its not taped. The blade marks you see just rub off with the wax.

How much do u weigh beer leaguer ?

[Beer leaguer]

im a slender build. 6'2 and 185lbs.

[modny123]

Do u find that this 85 flex is whippier than Easton? Or 87 bauer?

[GuitarAwesome]

It's is Defintely whippier than 85 Easton. 87 Bauer is whippier than the CCM. (For the RBZ anyways, can't comment on the 60).

[Beer leaguer]

Yup it is for sure! I actually like the 85 flex alot.

[Hab4life]

I tried one out at my LHS {they have a shooting room} and I found it to be pretty good, i used a 100 flex RNH pattern and was getting some good shots away with it, the weight didn't affect me whatsoever. I'd buy one but you can get even better sticks for the same price or lower that are on sale. In The Hockey Shop in Surrey they are going for $119.00 but you can get a pro stock Warrior Dynasty for $99.00 and the weight differential is like night and day, I imagine the performance is too.

[Beer leaguer]

I agree that a at $119 you could look around for pro stock. If I continue to like this twig I may actually try and stay with it. I've always switched from patterns and models. Be nice to find a pattern n stick with a flex I love. Ill try the rbz soon and see. The shaft felt really for stick handling for some reason it does feel thicker than the se16 and other warriors I had.

[Kovey10]

I messed around with one today at my LHS, eww. This thing has the softest most flexible blade I've ever seen. I could almost bend the blade straight with my hands. I'm surprised it didn't say Mylec on it.

[Beer leaguer]

^ really? I have used alot of sticks myself I liked the blade alot !

[Kovey10]

Yep, besides for the blade it doesn't feel like a bad stick. I was actually disappointed, I had planned on getting one, but the Mylec killed it for me.

[Beer leaguer]

Are you coming off a stiff stick blade? I found the blade good and hard my snap shit felt better.
