Curve advice needed for a nice passing, deking blade
asgoodasdead replied to HockeyTactics's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
well yeah, its gonna take some time to get used to the shorter stick. but once you do, you're gonna love it -
Curve advice needed for a nice passing, deking blade
asgoodasdead replied to HockeyTactics's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
i'm pretty much the same type of player and i use the PM9. cut to the botttom of my lips when barefoot and 65 flex -
i didn't know they made different kinds. i guess i'm anal enough to notice the elite are thinner, but not quite as anal as you
-
yeah elite laces suck. i like the howies and a&r

VH Footwear/TRUE by Scott Van Horne
asgoodasdead replied to dsjunior1388's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
my current skates don't have the comfort edge, my last pair did. i've never felt a difference, really. my hockey socks end up being under the top of the skate anyway so even though i skate barefoot, that part of the skate never touches my skin -
I've been playing with a completely dead stick for like 2-3 months waiting for it to break while I have a brand new one sitting at home. still scoring with it, so
-
100% psychology. and usually the guys spending top dollar on equipment thinking it'll make them better that I play with are ankle benders that need to spend that money on skating lessons instead lol
-
i try not to spend over $100 on a stick and i always score more goals and get more assists than the guys playing with $300 sticks lol but its beer league so
-
get a whippy stick with a mid-kick point

Blackstone Flat-Bottom V Thread
asgoodasdead replied to JR Boucicaut's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
yeah, i went from 5/8" to 100/50 or X7 and the difference was insane. almost fell on my face and had to skate really carefully for my first few shifts til i got used to it and been flying ever since. no way i could go back to a regular hollow -

i hope my local Pure Hockey doesn't do the same. but thankfully, i have 2 other places i can get FBV done around here. -
Favorite Skates of all time, top 5 (just for fun)
asgoodasdead replied to matix218's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
always been a Graf guy. previously worn 703s and 704. currently wearing F60 which is the predecessor to 703/704 and they're definitely my favorite since its the same skate but they weigh half as much -
i have these and think they look much better after 6+ months of wear than they did brand new
-
i sprayed the cage portion of my Tron combo white which i think helps with looking down at your feet. never been a fan of black cages
-
i have the Tron and love it. been using it for 3+ years and it barely ever fogs
-
its funny cause i don't think i own anything bauer. when it comes to sticks i just buy whatever is on sale in the curve and flex that i like and the brand doesn't matter. so sometimes its bauer, but its a coincidence. lately i've just been buying allblackhockeysticks cause i can get the curve, flex, and matte finish i like hassle-free for cheap and the sticks perform and last as well as most other sticks i have to hunt the clearance racks and websites for
-
if your skates are fitted and baked properly your foot shouldn't be sliding? or am i crazy

Interesting story about profiling/sharpening
asgoodasdead replied to shooter27's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
The Athletic is awesome and they're always offering 40% off promocodes. been a subscriber for a few years and glad that article got posted since i didn't see it yet. -

The return of Christian sticks?
asgoodasdead replied to thelaterskater's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
never saw those, but I did own a few of the sherwoods painted to look like wood sticks and loved them
