Hi Steve,

yeah, I can tell you that the puck accidently went to the UK last week. I will recieve it back in time for the South-Africans arrive tomorrow.
What I hear from it it goes really well on plastic bottoms aswell. But I'll ask for a full 'review' from the UK boys.

Will let you know soon.

Cheers

Steve,

this is the review Benson (NZ) is giving:
" It’s pretty shabby on a tile bottom – waaay to unstable. Not that I mind… "
If you have further questions, he's on this community aswell I believe.

Some players did test the puck already.(i did not...still not seen the puck)

But still not the way they did test it.

1: What sort sticks?
2: What sort of pool?
3: What sort of movements?
4: And for me important. Did the tester ever played with a CanAm universal puck?
5: what sort off puck is the tester used to play with?

As far as i now maybe those players did swim in a straight line and did flick 1 time.....
We don''t now....
Iff we want to test and help Steve make a GOOD PUCK.
we must give some details and good information about the testing.

Did recieve last saterday the Dutchy for testing.
THe results will be out here soon.
Please keep in mind. It will be the results from a puck that was already tested by others and is not anymore in a perfect shape when we did recieve it. This can be a greath influence in the results.



Sticks used by the first testing sesion were:
1: the good and fine "knuffelwuppie"
2: the new testing stick the "knuffelwuppie EXEL"
3: the SZN-1 left handed stick.

By our club we are used to CanAm universals. And simm's and Bontje and italian pucks
By my club we are used to play competition with the Simms but training is done much time with the Bontje/italian and CanAm

My results will be place in a list:
point for point and how tested on a moveble floor and on tiles:
(when a stick has another point then the others it will be mentioned)
1: how smooth glyding is the puck (diferent way's)
2: How is the puck in flicking forwards
3: how does the puck feel by doing a "dummy"
4: extra point's (durable etc etc)

Sven,please let me know what is it like doing "dummy" with the puck?
Thank you,
Big Mike.

I have now played the Dutchy on the 1 inch tile bottom of GMU a whole twice. Just enough for initial impressions.

Things I like- nice smooth sliding puck, very stable and very fast. Much better than the UNI2 in stability and is much more playable and predictable then the UNI2.

Things I didn't like- after a whole 3 hours of play the ground edge went basically smooth and grip went to crap making loft and control degrade quickly

I compared the Nacamura SSP to this side by side, the SSP and the Dutchy and are equally fast. The SSP on smooth tile bottoms has the best all-round play, fast, stable, and great control. The Dutchy on smooth is equally fast and stable, but control is lacking due to poor grip on the edge.

Given the much better pricing and relative ease of acquisition, the Dutchy is a very nice puck for smooth bottoms, I hope to test it on a rough bottom tomorrow night.

Steve- good job, overall I like the puck, if I didn't have the SSP to compare it to they would probably be my favorite pucks. Only complaints, improve the edge grip and boost their mass to 1.3 kg.
