What Happened To The GX7000 Jumbow?

What Happened To The GX7000 Jumbow?


by Francine Hampton


Your Grays GX7000 Jumbow is about to get a facelift! Usually, Grays do very little to change the stick designs by year to year. In fairness, there are always a few junior models that get changed up a bit. But generally all they do is add a mold or perhaps two. And sometimes they will expand a range. Last year they added a fresh elite level range using a whole new design. This season, this new range is increasing as well. Typically, they are aware of their particularly popular models plus they realize what their hockey players prefer. That's why they stick to their styles over and over. Or that used to be the truth at the very least.

In a big shake up, Grays GX7000 Jumbow will not exist. The highest jumbow within the popular GX range will now be the GX5000. And from now on the GX7000 Probow is the only 7000 from the range. For many of us, this kind of amendment will likely not make a large amount of difference. In the range above, the exact same model is going to survive. It is utilizing the conventional jumbow mold that has been so continually popular amongst hockey players around the world.

The only big difference with the higher set is they use a distinct structure. They choose another type of layering process plus the surface layers employ a substance known as graphene. That is a super strong and durable material that's even more robust in comparison to the carbon which is commonly applied to hockey sticks. It is also really thin for this reason it will not add unnecessary pounds.

An extra tough and extra durable construction is absolutely perfect for hockey sticks. These pieces of expert equipment experience a great deal of wear within a typical training day and in addition they go through much more in an advanced level match. The force that goes in to striking a hard hockey ball and the impact which will come from receiving the ball is severe. Over a season this takes it toll. Changing the GX7000 structure to something more hardwearing and durable simply has to be an improvement. Of course there'll be some people who seem to object.

The GX7000 Prowbow is going to retain the normal structure but just have a slightly different shape. The primary difference with this particular design is that the form of the head. Grays are creating various designs with this structure now. It is created to present superior control of your hockey ball and a lot of hockey players appear to enjoy this new form. Slightly different forming can produce a surprisingly significant difference to skill.

So although the GX7000 Jumbow won't be around, there are still options that happen to be very similar. One that will offer the same construction but will use a slightly different shape. And one which will provide the same design, and standard of composition (the 7000 represents the level of carbon content), simply with a new layup which should be more durable and also more robust.
