Hi Guys

I saw a few videos on youtube of the AIHL and was wondering what roller puck do they use? is it the rbk one? I figured some you guys might be able to answer this for me

Cheers

I've seen both Black and Red IDS pucks. The rulebook doesn't specify color.

thanks, I was wondering do you guys know of a source where I can order them from? I checked IDS site but it looks like there sold out of them at the moment.

IDS Pucks @ Inlinewarehouse

Best site for inline gear. Ordered some pucks + under armour a few mths back. Quick and cheap, just like the women in my life. ;)

Maybe an OT question, but why aren't Rocket Pucks used more? I love them...much more than the IDS pucks.

I'd guess it's as simple as tradition, IDS was entrenched as the standard puck long before I ever heard of a Rocket Puck.

Most organizations in the sport I find use the rocket puck now. State Wars, Narch, PIHA, and Torhs just to name a few.

As with anything else in hockey. For a lot of events, it is whoever ponies up the cash/free product is whose product gets used, not what is perceived to be the better product. IMHO opinion both pucks are pretty decent, so I don't care which one is used. Only ones I can't stand are the really heavy Rbk ones.

Oh don't get me wrong, I like the IDS pucks as well. But when I first used the Rocket Puck, my mind was made up on them.

Has nothing to do with performance. Politics %100. Both pucks are great. I find IDS is outstanding for most surfaces and the Rocket works insanely well on IceCourt.

Does anybody think the IDS puck bounces a LOT?

I play in Huntington Beach and we just had our first game of the new season and I think they started using IDS pucks. I noticed this freakin puck was like a jumping bean.

[EBondo 233]

Depending what court surface, and how it hits, definitely noticeable jump.

[Brian Harte 1]

Sport Court.

A bunch of my teammates noticed it too.

Oh well.... I guess I can blame our loss on that. lol

[raganblink 82]

Sport Court is awful with IDS pucks. We have both in our shop in our shooting area... More pucks bounce out of the area since we switched to IDS over the RBK ones. something about them and sport court dont mix.

Rocket Puck = Daryn Goodwin. Daryn Goodwin = Narch.

Maybe I'm the exception cuz I grew up using IDS but I hate the rocket puck. the PCRHL (philly college) use the rocket puck. It feels way too light and seems to float high far too easily. Even when stickhandling or skating up with some speed, it loves to pop onto its side. Its not just my brick hands either, the other guys on our team all feel the same way.

Irrelevant but the Franklin pucks are by far the worst on sport court. Those things bounce everywhere.

Rocket pucks are terrible in hot weather. They stick to the floor too much which causes it to roll more frequently.
