phantomowner27 20 Report post Posted March 2, 2010 So I've been consulting with a company who's been researching inline hockey pucks for some time. I told them I though posting a survey here would probably be a good way to get feedback from the correct audience. If you have the time, try the survey below. It's 10 questions. http://FreeOnlineSurveys.com/rendersurvey....ooncytgha717231 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Invert 13 Report post Posted March 2, 2010 Only thing I'd add is about the hardness of the plastic. The Mission/RBK pucks seem to be a lot harder of a plastic than the IDS/Rocket pucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted March 3, 2010 Make an Ids puck with rough gripped sides like the rocket puck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ob2rescue 1 Report post Posted March 3, 2010 i second the grip on the ids, and maybe a little more weight in the center of it to keep it balanced and less bounce..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darshu 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2010 i second the grip on the ids, and maybe a little more weight in the center of it to keep it balanced and less bounce.....It'd be hard to make it bounce any more than it already does :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Harte 1 Report post Posted March 3, 2010 IDS with MUCH less bounce would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camhockey16 5 Report post Posted March 3, 2010 i dont know if there will ever be a plastic puck that doesnt bounce and that you can play with in 90 degree weather or 10 degree weather - but it certainly would be nicei wonder if there is some way they could put a liquid inside of a puck like they do with the franklin ags balls - because it is actually very effective at stopping bouncing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExitTwoEighty 7 Report post Posted March 3, 2010 sonic + more weight please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncbrock 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2010 i like the ids pucks size and weight, dont like the bounce, also like the grip on the sides idea. I dont like any other puck because of its size, and feels larger than the ids. The ids to me feels ideal on the blade of my stick, anything else feels like an ice puck.

BenderHockey 127 Report post Posted March 5, 2010 I would prefer a puck with the size of an IDS, with the cross-hatch grip on the side as someone had mentioned. Also wouldn't mind a bit... *AHEM* WAY less bounce. I like the weight of the IDS as well, although slightly heavier wouldn't be too bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wetwilly17 6 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 dont you guys think that adding grip on the outer circumference would increase rolling of the puck and make it harder to "settle"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phantomowner27 20 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Thank you for the comments and to everyone that took the survey. This has been a tremendous help for our research. Please feel free to keep the comments coming. We may create a brief follow up survey before the end of the month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ob2rescue 1 Report post Posted April 18, 2010 any headway from this survey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phantomowner27 20 Report post Posted April 21, 2010 any headway from this survey?Quite a bit actually. The survey along with all of the posts has really helped us in developing a puck. More feedback is always welcome. We'd like to hear any thoughts on aesthetics for the puck as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenderHockey 127 Report post Posted April 21, 2010 as for asthetics.... I would prefer performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hehatemefrisbee 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2010 Yeah gotta say i dont care how it looks, just how it performs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wetwilly17 6 Report post Posted April 23, 2010 as for asthetics.... I would prefer performance.As far as pucks are concerned I think people only care about performance. My only preference is that you have a bright color option such as orange. It makes finding a puck that has riccocheted out of an outdoor rink easier to find.

phantomowner27 20 Report post Posted April 23, 2010 Performance is has been the priority for this project. We have a variety of designs and concepts that have been developed. I'm going to try to get permission to show some of the samples and/or cad drawings on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenderHockey 127 Report post Posted April 23, 2010 Feel free to send some prototypes my way. I'll incorporate them into the leagues I ref/play in and gather a lot of feedback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
start_today 773 Report post Posted April 23, 2010 bright color option such as orange. It makes finding a puck that has riccocheted out of an outdoor rink easier to find.Yeah, but then you can't find it in the rink, while the game is being played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
