Polyurethane sticks from TIlburg

Onderwaterhockey sticks from tilburg

With the idea each stick is good, subject to that it is lawful and the player who uses stick likes to play with it, is a good stick. With those ideas we in tilburg made a number off sticks in the meantime, some sticks of our own design and some copied for players who want there best playing sticks made by us. Not all are our design.

We make the sticks of polyurethaan. A hard type plastic colourfast and easily to make.(in four minuten)the large advantage is that each stick is exactly the same as the former/other. The love for one stick or one colour of that type stick which you frequently see at other sticks is with that no longer present. All the sticks play excact the same as the other stick of that model. In the meantime we have 18 right-handed sticks in our assortment and 9 left-handed sticks. Meanwile we are also devolping a serial models 2 handed sticks. The first. 2handed standard stick. it has been tested in the meantime, and all advantages and the couple small disadvantages have been confessed. Which in the other models also will be taken into account.

Why plastic? That nevertheless can break? Yes denying is nonsense plastic will break. But wooden sticks also. The large difference is when a plastic stick break, you hear everyone about it, and when a wooden stick break there is nobody speaking about it., it seems normal, however. We have kept up it thus at our own team during toernooi.(en afterwards the rest of the year) during the tournament 5 wooden sticks have break against our plastic sticks, against which is 1 stick of us itself broken there. Still more the succeeding months in the Dutch competition there is absolutely no plastic stick broken in our team and still 8 wooden sticks broken against us.

A another argument that you would feel nothing with those sticks etc. No contrary. Correctly because they have this way made little drag (our own models) did we feel the puck very good. Other players in the Netherlands price our sticks because they shoot strangely better then there own sticks. Wood or plastic? That question will continue to exist always. It is ordinary what you want and what you have got used. You come that automatically at the first idea of this piece: each stick is well....

The most important thing is that the Tilburg Sticks are easy to make and when you make wooden sticks you are much longer busy with making those. Also The TIlburg Sticks do not need painting. Wooden sticks do.

Just as a couple sticks:
1 model Bjorg H-3
(this right-handed model is used in the Netherlands/Belgium and future because of meanwhile order sticks also in France and America and possibly at boa shop (UK)

a small stick of in total 26 cm long. Much onderwaterhockeyende youth/juniors finds this a good stick. Small but certainly also fine stick to take part in onderwaterhockey. A stick which is easily moved though water (little drag) what most of the players whit this stick say. You almost do not feel that you have a stick in your hand. It is nice and easy stick. This impact is obtained by the edges which sit on the upper part. These are therefore not only for the nice look of the stick. Also this edge will help with grabing the puck with backhand. The grip for the hand is specialy made for holding the stick therfor the grip on the stick is very good. Also for keeping the grip always the same. We put an ridge between the first 2 fingers. It keeps the grip/stick at the same place in the hand.

(p the sticks have not been photographed of right above, copy is as a result difficult)


Other models 2.
model knuffelwuppie-1 (26,8 cm long)
inferred of the Bjorg h-3 and JP-1 the stick which is everywhere just somewhat larger than the Bjorg H-3 and JP-1 (an onother tick) as result a stick which is an alternative for our own adults teams already very popular ( all those players have kept older Bjorg also their H-3 or JP-1 as a reserve stick) these we have not yet put on the market in the Netherlands. We dont want is in use against our self. But players outside the Netherlands can have them.



2. The Sven H-3 (28 cm long)
(my own left-handed stick)
a strangely looking left-handed stick. Made strangely enough for mezelf as a defender stick but by the low drag of the stick as a result, As it easily to very rapidly carry out of movements with the puck is became rapidly a general stick. Just like at the right-handed counterparts (Bjorg H-3 and the Knuffelwuppie) this stick has a good hook I as a defender i want to have this sort off hook. This hook has exactly the contour of a puck as a result of which the stick has very good grip on the puck. Also this hook has been placed nearer to the hand as a result of which there are very fast movements possible with the puck in the hook with large control.





Want to see more sticks just look on my site: http://uwh.informe.com/

Hello Sven,

Did I read that correctly, you are designing a two-handed stick?

Cheers,

If you want to see it in action it's in the video when he elbows his opponent in the face.

Oh yeah, and now they're broke.

An elbow has nothing to do with the stick.

I have much more movies where you can see it in.
And that movie duck said is not the only on this site you can see me or another player from TIlburg use a 2handed stick.


Yes the first (good)design. The 2handed standard. that you already can see on my own site (now one year old)
Yes i.m myself are now playing with the second generation design 2handed sticks.(3 months old/almost 12 weeks)
And my twin brother with the thirt design a right handed 2 handed stick.(9 weeks old)

And a new design is already on paper to make.
So we have already more then one design already.

I'm relative busy these days.
But iff you like it i will put some more movies were you can see that we use those sticks on the site.

Iff Carl don't mind i will place by this topic some photos from the designs
And some explanation why they are like that. And the filisofie behind the 2 handed play.

And by you-tupe or maybe by technicks or refferee questions the movies.
But i will tell it next times when there is a 2 handed player in the movies.

DO you mean the 2 handed sticks or the polyurethane sticks.
I now that Bennie in the past did take some with him to south africa.
(those were made from the old compound. the new compound is even stronger but also a little bit softer and most players tell me that they have the idea that they have more contact/controll with that new compound.

But yes the demand for these sort sticks is growing.

We are always try to improve the models but even the compound from the equipment we make.

Just reference so he can find it. I couldn't remember which thread that one was in sooooo..., using the search feature you can find elbow and it makes it easier for SP to find.



Would that be for people with two right hands? I would think that a two-handed stick would be designed for both right and left, not for one specific hand. Are they designed so that one hand is the primary hand and using it in the other hand is just for rare occassion?

Although, that does lead to the question... is having two right hands an advantage over two left hands?

I would have thought that playing with two hands on your stick would limit your skill set beyond belieif, or is it intended to be a brute strenght stick (bash bash bash).
