Intro & New Features
The CCM Jetspeed FT8 hockey stick is designed for high-performance players who want explosive speed, pinpoint accuracy, and a responsive feel. With its Hybrid Kickpoint, the FT8 creates a dynamic hinge effect for lightning-fast shot release without sacrificing control or power.
Stick Profile
The Jetspeed line uses a hybrid kick point, which combines the benefits of both a low and high kick point. It is designed to provide a quick release for wrist and snap shots, while also delivering more power for slap shots. The hybrid kick point is achieved by using a combination of carbon fibres with different flex properties in the lower and upper parts of the shaft. The lower part of the shaft uses stiffer carbon fibres, creating a low kick point for quick releases. The upper part of the shaft uses more flexible carbon fibres, creating a higher kick point for increased power and accuracy on slap shots.
Shaft Construction
The FT8S stick features a rounded “R” geometry. The streamlined shape has rounded corners and concave sides that is increasing in popularity as CCM keeps releasing their stick line. This design of the stick geometry is designed to provide a more comfortable feel and natural grip with a better feel for the player. The shaft also uses pure carbon technology that is designed to help create a stick that’s both lightweight and strong.
Additionally, CCM included a Skeleton+ taper technology. This manufactured technology can be found in the taper area which is designed to provide better reliability in key moments of the game.
Blade Construction
CCM added a new JF-90 blade design. This construction provides the stick with a lightweight stiff blade that is designed to give a heightened feel for the puck without compromising on shot speed and control.
Grip
The FT8 stick uses a FT Microfeel grip. The grip is located on the mid section of the shaft which provides players with perfect control when playing.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The CCM Jetspeed FT8 Senior Hockey Stick is available in the following blade curves: P28, P29, P88, and P90TM.
P28 is a much more aggressive stick pattern, used often by elite players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, but it can be a bit difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.
P29 is the best blade pattern for all-around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. This curve may suffer a little bit on the backhand.
P88 is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and controlling snap shots.
P90TM takes elements from both the P29 and P28 and is just a bit taller.
