SL Feel

[kovalchuk71 212]

For those of you that use the SL, does it feel dead? Or does it have a decent feel to it?

best in easton lineup. no stick will have feel if you have alligator hands

[kovalchuk71 212]

by alligator hands you mean like unsoft hands correct?

you play roller hockey, if I were you, I'd use the most whipiest stick known to man, as back when I used to play roller, I'd have a howeitzer from anywhere with low flex sticks.

[kovalchuk71 212]

do you play with a ball or puck?

For the feel question: I think there is 3 kind of feel.

1)Shock absorbing blade,dampening effect a la adrenaline,sicore,XV.

2) Kind of dead feel, no dampening feel or hotter blade.reg synergy,v110.

3)Hotter feel:IMO this feeling is weird,the blade feel like a rock,so stiff that you will have the impression that the puck weight 3lb.before 2-3hrs of ice time, the puck will just bouce of your blade, but after you will really feel the blade on your stick because of this weird feeling.

i.e:My Z-carbon sicore brand new: felt like this,SL,Stealth(not exactly the same),xn10

CobrAA, I play with a puck

and when I mean feel, Im referring to just being able to know where the puck is on the blade

oh okay. well the SL will be great, your adrenaline is just the opposite of what you want.

[kovalchuk71 212]

ya, i have pretty soft hands anyway. So You can feel the puck well on the SL?

[Gongshow11 1]

i was 15

you should be able to feel where a puck is on your stick regardless of blade. if you cant do it witha composite, use a wood. if you cant with a wood, start another sport like knitting

I used an int stick when I played inline. I love the extra whip.

chris, my sl had the best feel of any stick ive ever used it was amazing but the durability is sh*itty

[BushLeagueDangler08 0]

I agree Ive had about 6 SL's and skated 6 days a week and I loved the feel of the SL best feel IMO. Yes the durability is Sh*tty and after awhile it seems like it loses some feel but not much, I can only notice the loss when I did touch passes, but if you got the cash to buy one, Id go for it.

Yea, a good feel is not only knowing where the puck is on your stick... A ceramic-like feel, hard as a rock blade, hard impact when you receive a pass is, i think, considered a bad feel (Z-carbon). A dampening feel, softer impact on passes, wood-like blade = good feel. (Bauer XV)

Sorry but i have no idea about the SL :o
