  1. Last week
  2. Brand new. All black colorway and made in Canada. JRZ logo on top. Measures 31x20x15. Asking $120+shipping within the US.
  3. Finally decided to pick one of these up. I grabbed a OG blue mid kick p88 70 flex. The last few seasons I have been experimenting with sticks. I typically go for a college pro stock nexus stick. Tried a few of the 5 sided nexus sticks and I'm not a fan. A friend suggested I switch to a p92 because there are more sticks available at pro stock. The p92 was okay, but never felt comfortable. A few weeks ago I decided to grab one of my all time favorite sticks pro stock 2nproSE p88 82 flex and I had a great game, everything felt right that game. I decided to go back to the p88. Since pro stock P88 sticks are somewhat hard to find I wanted something I could regularly get if I needed a stick. For the price I figured I'd try one. I have only played one game so far with it. I was very impressed with the stick. The weight, flex, kick point everything seemed pretty good and seemed very close to a 2npro for me. My only issue with the stick is I feel like the grip isn't very grippy. I am used to more grip I guess. I will wait and see if he does the custom stick discount and grab one with the basketball grip and see if that makes a difference. Either way though I am a fan and if I can't find 4 sided Nexus p88 sticks I will pick up more of these.
  4. -CCM Ultra Tacks (incredibly smooth and consistent mid-kick) -Bauer Nexus 1000 (personally what I think is the last good Bauer stick made) and agreed about weight. I think sticks are getting way too light. I personally don't like playing with a sub 400g stick; the feel just is off.
  5. Gotta chime in as well..as I age rapidly... Well before the 10 year ask, but, Easton Synergy SL Grip Drury 85 flex Just within ask of 10 years...Bauer Nexus 2N Pro 70 flex PM9 Current (finally into the "NEW" age Bauer Pulse P28...yep, finally learned how to "shoot" in the modern era...
  6. I get where you're coming from. That said every single stick on their website had just a bunch of reviews complaining about the stick breaking. The volume of those reviews was tied to the popularity of the stick, not the durability. It was impossible to decipher any value from the reviews. I think you have to go look in other areas to learn about real durability issues.
  7. Bauer 2N Pro. It's still a great stick. We just bought two like new senior's for $200. Score.
  8. I do wrist bands in my player gloves, at least I did back when I skated out (its been almost a decade now). It wouldn't work with my gear but other setups it may be good.
  9. Have you considered wrist bands? I know this i popular with guitar players to prevent sweat from running down their arms onto their hands. Even with liners, your gloves will still get wet. The liners would only help keep your hands dry or drier.
  10. Not sure about you, but my finger tips don't really sweat; my palms do, though for sure.
  11. Ah, for me not having fingers completely defeats the point. I needed more grip in my glove.
  12. I just ordered a couple pairs of these to try. Cheap and made from the same material as a baselayer, so very thin and have a little more grip. I wanted something as thin as possible, so fingerless is even better IMO.
  13. Just google. This model is "Head Web Racquetball Glove". They're nice because the backhand is very thin (and half of is mesh) and the grip is fantastic. Barely even knew I had them on. I didn't need them anymore once I switched to custom gloves with intermediate palms. Now this would be much too heavy/thick for me.
  14. I couldn't care less about your opinion. As I said, you do you.
  15. I have small hands. Gloves always feel a tiny bit big for me. About six months ago I started to try different gloves under my hockey gloves to see if they'd make things fit a bit better and maybe help with better grip when shooting. The first thing I tried were batting gloves for baseball. Then I tried golf gloves. Both worked fine enough, but they were a bit too snug, so I found it a bit awkward when dealing with my helmet straps. What I found worked best for me were some latex coated gardening gloves I found at Walmart. I can't find an exact picture, but they look like these. The palms are coated, but the back of the hand is just fabric, so they're more flexible and breathable than the batting and golf gloves. And best of all, they're cheap. $5.
  16. Thanks. I'll def look into this option for future users.
  17. Glad you found a solution. Aquaseal does have a pretty good tack to it. All I’ve every done was use weights or clothes pins while curing, and never had an issue.
  18. Thanks for the reply. That stuff would be a good option especially when attaching the plastic insert over the EPS foam board (same as using a polyurethane adhesive like construction adhesive, gorilla glue etc). It would also work attaching the EPS foam board on the softer neoprene like backing as well (not pictured) but the only issue is that unless the glue has a high tack, I'll need to clamp the softer foam to the eps board which would likely distort the foams after being clamped for x hours. I deliberated over whether I should risk it and use hot melt glue since I've used it on foams before and even though it does melt the foam a bit these pieces are pretty thick and by the time the glue cools down it wouldn't have done much damage. I even thought of using industrial adhesive Velcro on both prices and attach it that way but I didn't want the added bulk the loop and hook would create. But this option would've been the quickest and least tedious option. I figured the best options in attaching the EPS board to the softer neoprene foam are: - 3m super 78 foam adhesive (harder to find in Canada and $$$$) - water based contact cement (again a bit harder to find and more expensive than regular solvent based contact cement) What I ended up using was an OLD can of spray 77 that doesn't contain any acetone like thr newer ones. I tested to see if it was still good and surprisingly it was still good even for a 20 year old can lol. I mean in hindsight the thigh boards aren't going to be undergoing much stress in terms of being peeled and pulled from one another. All forces would be direct impact and the boards will be encapsulated inside the pant shell, so maybe I put way too much thought into this 🫠
  19. sorry if you don't like my opinion. I find the current knee pads way to big and bulky and imped my pad rotation. I would rather have less bulk.
  20. Thanks! How did you find the racquetball glove? It looks a little thicker, but the silicone grip might be nice.
  21. Some of them wear cotton liners, lundqvist being one of the more famous examples (He explains it here https://www.tiktok.com/@spittinchiclets/video/7534892352972786958): I used to wear a racquetball glove under my glove, mostly just for some more grip. Like this:
  22. Personally, I've never read/used the reviews on any of the sites like Pure Hockey, Hockey Monkey, Ice Warehouse, etc. I'll watch new gear breakdown videos some of them put out but if I want reviews I'll use google and read them on sites like MSH, S2K, or Reddit because, let's face it, the ones who are capable of giving a meaningful review aren't posting on the store websites, they're posting on sites like this one (and Reddit is a mixed bag, you have to weed through a lot of nonsense but sometimes you get some decent reviews).
  23. Earlier
  24. I was watching a game the other day and noticed a player (Kiefer Sherwood, maybe?) had a white, spandex-looking glove on, under his regular glove. I've seen goalies do this too, and I assume it probably helps wick away moisture, similar to wearing a baselayer. Has anyone tried it before? If so, what's your thoughts? I rotate gloves, because I can't stand wet gloves, which normally isn't really an issue apart from when I'm playing tournaments. But recently I started playing Roller again, which is way warmer, and noticed my gloves getting soaked by the end of a game. This option might make sense for me, but I'd like to gather some thoughts and feedback if anyone has tried this before. I'm guess it probably impacts your feel a bit too After a quick search, I saw these: https://wickerssports.com/products/wickers-glove-liners Seem kinda expensive for what they are, but might be worth a try.
