that coach of yours would have got his uniform selection of sticks if he'd looked into my bag but only if it was just before a tournament cos everyone always "borrows" mine and i generally only ever have a couple in there!
i'm a pretty firm believer on the old feel of the puck through the stick though sven... plastic is just dead. polyurethane may be better than nylon, and i have made and trialled a polyurethane stick, but i just didnt like it as much as wood. i like the look of your sticks in part, the south african style one you have looks nice and simple, but generally i wouldn't let our schoolkids near sticks with such pronounced hooks as it restricts the type of passes they can make and encourages lazy skills. i kinda go with the theory that a good tackle should be made with good body position to create a strong angle to pull the puck away and not rely on the hook of the stick to do the job by itself. but thats just me and you're right everyone likes what they likes. unless people are too lazy and just like what some other sucker will make for them, in which case they like what other people like. i have lost my point.
plus soon all the petrol will be gone and no more plastic for anyone. go wood! |
Yes plastick is dead material. THat you dont feel the puck with plastick it is your own thinking. I feel the puck better with plastick.I also find that important. I schoot better with plastic. More people find that. Like Long Paul. you now him i think. He is scared to shoot with the stick i made. It shoots to well. (beter then that old wooden stick he has) They are not scared about the hook. It is legal in the rules and not all the sticks i made have hooks. Some have hooks some dont. It has nothing to do with how to make a stick but only how looks your stick.
And if i use lazy skills playing with that stick you dont now. I dont remenber playing to you.
But iff you want to talk about skills and lazy skills just start another discussion.
Or people get lazy? And want sticks other made.
I dont think it has all to do with lazy people.
Some indeed but most people dont have the skill or time to make there own sticks. But they have most off the times a sticks they like. Then we make a stick exact the same as that , only in plastic. In the last day off the competition yesterday some players started with there old wood stick and ended with the plastick and the next game the did not play anymore with wood. The form/model was the same only wood was chanched to polyurethane. They like those sticks better. It is not only my opinian.
Soon al forrests are gone and there is no wood.
Petroll will be gone also. But technick will find other materials to make things.
Will you react then the same. Use the last tree in the country to make sticks?
