Oggie Ergo Grip Reviewer Background: 5'8 160 lbs, Forward that plays both Ice and Inline. Intro: I recieved these grips a while back from Joe Casasanta at Oggie Grips to test. First off, I want to apologize to Joe and to the Mods at MSH for not finishing out with the review at the time when I recieved the grips.That was a mistake on my part, So I figured I would do a long term review and post it on here for all to see to make up for it. Sticks: I used a Easton Synergy SL Grip to test this out with. Though hesitant, I took Joes advice that the grip would be worth it. I cut 6" off of it and inserted the grip. I did notice the balance was thrown off a very little bit, but I prefer my sticks to be a little bottom heavy anyway. Grip Shape: I recieved the ERGO grip from Joe to try on my sticks. The Ergo grip is a very weird grip. Think of a curved stick with a butt end on the top. The grip was very awkward at first in my hand, but as I adjusted to it, I felt that it really conformed to the shape of my hand. While the grip felt great, my only complaint about it was that it felt a bit too thin for my liking. I prefer the classic grips shape over the ergo grip. PP Texture: The grip itself has a nice rubbery texture. The texture is not too sticky and not too "dull". I felt I could move my hand if I had to, but could keep my hand in place with no effort for optimial control of the stick. The grip also did not discolor or even leave residueon my glove palms, which was a defininate plus. The grip also included little "X" patterns up and down the sides. The X's provided a bit more area to grip the Ergo, which I liked. The grip seemed to move a lot though, which I did not like. It felt too "soft" and would shift in my hands. I could literally take the grip and twist it with my bare hand. I guess its a personal preference thing, but I prefer my grips to be nice and tight. 8.5/10 Performance- All I can is WOW. I was a bit hesitant about cutting 6" off of my stick to put this grip in, but my worries were quickly subdued. The grip does exactly what it claims. You can feel it flex with the shaft and snap back with the shaft. The grip made the sticks flex increase which I was really surprised with. Snap shots/Wrist shots had improved velocity and accuracy. At times though, I felt that the grip flexed a bit too much. I think could be easily fixed though. Overall, the performance was great. 9/10 Stick Feel- This is the one part that bothered me. I felt that the grip took a little but away from the sticks puck feel. It in a sense made the stick feel little "numb". Durability- I used the grip for about a month, and it held up pretty well. The rubber on the grip looked new, but the butt end started to rip, which was a little dissapointing. The grip itself was not warped or anything, and still felt the same as when I had first got it. 8.5/10 Overall the Oggie Ergo grip is a great innovation for your stick. I felt improved velocity and accuracy on snap/wrist shots and the texture of the grip was amazing. Even though the grip seemed a bit skinny and it ripped after a month, I would use it again. If your stick needs length added to it or you have an old stick, do yourself a favor and buy it. You will not be sorry. If the grip seems a little thin for you as well, go for the classic grip. 9/10

Custom Skates / Ice to Inline Conversion
kovalchuk71 replied to cougarscaptain87's topic in Roller Hockey Equipment
They are size 7R. They are relatively light, I dont have a scale, but I dont notice a huge difference between these and my synergies. Tour had to dremel out about about an 1"1/2 spot on each skate. Skated on them yesterday. Yowza! The hummer is VERY different from the sprung. I used to use the hummer but havent in a few years. Cornering was different, stopping was a bit different as well. Overall, pretty nice so far. They are VERY stiff.- 2846 replies
