Tape Your Stick like Devon Levi
Key Takeaways
- Devon Levi tapes his stick knob using a unique, time-saving technique he developed himself, unlike any standard method seen at the pro level.
- The CCM XF PRO stick features a V-shape shaft geometry that transitions from a T-shape at the top for puck-playing to a V-shaped handle for improved grip and stability on stick saves.
- At 580 grams on a 25-inch shaft, the XF PRO is exceptionally lightweight, aided by a shaft that is two inches shorter than predecessor models.
- Levi endorses the new shaft shape, calling it 'a different shape' that 'feels comfortable in the hand.'
- NHL goaltenders Thatcher Demko and Stuart Skinner are also among XF PRO users, with a full review including their feedback coming soon from InGoal.
