Rustyhole 1 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 cut stick to length, insert wood plug, cut flush, tapeto remove: just insert a wood screw, heat and use pliers to pull plug out (never had to do this, but that's how I'd do it)I think it dampens vibration, but have an SL that has no plug in it yet and don't notice it being too bad. gives piece of mind I guessif your set on a end cap, just ask at your LHS, they probably have a few laying around that'd fit.

pisani34 10 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 for some reason i actually like playing without an plug or even a cap. I guess its kinda weird that i do actaully like the "hollow" feel, but if someone can really prove that putting the cap in does make a performance difference, i might have to go back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess its kinda weird that i do actaully like the "hollow" feel, but if someone can really prove that putting the cap in does make a performance difference, i might have to go backI pulled the end cap off my stick last night and scored 3 goals...so, I'm all for no cap. Actually, if I don't need a wood extension, I usually leave the end open. Can't recall why I left it in this stick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reaper 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 I hope you no cap/no end plug guys are taping over the edge of the shaft to avoid accidental core sampling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
habsfan87 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 I usually don't use one if the sticks long enough, but I found when i got my SL it felt blade heavy to me so i put a plug in and cut it flush (as rusthole said I've used the wood screw before it works good). The stick actually felt heavier without the plug for me and now its balanced alot better. Ive noticed a few pros even with shorts sticks use a good amount of plug just to shave it down for their grip but I like usuing minimal as i can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted January 29, 2008 I tape over the caps. Easton's new cap isn't going to come out on you, that's by far the hardest to take out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashtonhutch05 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2008 Well thats what I thought about those new fancy Warrior caps, so I didn't worry about doing that. I couldn't budge it when I tried to pop it out before, and then 6-7 shots in something went flying 20 ft. into the air, and there lay my cap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
