Intro & New Features

Last on CCMs upgrade list for sticks in 2022 is the Ribcor Trigger 7 series. This stick looks to offer elite performance with a lighter weight, quicker release, and overall enhanced performance compared to its predecessor. The tech in the Trigger 7 series is some of the best CCM has to offer for low kick point sticks, including Advanced Carbon Matrix tech, a unique Ergonomic E geometry, and an Agility Blade with Peel-Ply technology.

Stick Flex Profile

The Trigger 7 is part of the Ribcor family, which is CCMs low kick point stick family. These sticks gradually get softer toward the blade and bend closer to the hosel, a design that helps them load shots as quickly and easily as possible. This style specializes in quick-release shots and is equipped with various features to support this specific kick point.

Shaft Construction & Stiffness

This stick uses Advanced Carbon Matrix technology in the shaft, which is a special carbon layering technique used to enhance durability while keeping the stick light. It works well with the Sigmatex spread tow carbon weave to achieve this effect.The Ergonomic shaft means that the shaft changes shape across the length of the stick, starting out more traditional at the top and becoming more asymmetrical near the bottom. This approach helps increase your control over the stick while also helping the stick load better.br>

Blade Construction

Like the shaft, the blade is also made using a Sigmatex spread tow weave for elite-level durability, feel, and performance. The Trigger 7 uses an Agility Blade with Peel-Ply, as seen previously in the Trigger 6 Pro. This blade has a thin profile and is highly responsive, qualities that greatly help with executing those quick-release shots.A bit higher up at the hosel, CCM included their Skeleton+ taper technology, returning from its introduction in the Trigger 6 Pro. This taper compresses more of the carbon materials in that area, resulting in more durability and efficiency when loading without adding any weight.

Graphics

CCM has been adjusting their designs for all their equipment lines this 2022 season, and Ribcor is no different. With one of the more drastic changes this year, CCM has scrapped the classic green for a black and purple colour scheme. The Ribcor text logo has also gone through some more modernized changes.

Grip

The Trigger 7 uses a Trigger Microfeel 2 grip, which is tactile, curved, and raised strategically for an even better stick feel while you play.
