guitarfreek92 7 Report post Posted August 29, 2013 alright i play both roller and ice and "my curve" is a backstrom hall style curve and on ice im pretty accurate but i'm noticing lately that i'm having control problems when playing roller. i notice the puck shooting high and not staying low like i am aiming. is the weight difference in the puck a difference? i notice that my puck control is also a little sketchy on roller as well but on ice im perfectly fine. is their a curve with the same blade shape but open? is it how im shooting?

Souldriver 64 Report post Posted August 29, 2013 Here is a big Q. So you use the same tape and tape it up the same? I for one cannot use the roller strips some people do. No control for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guitarfreek92 7 Report post Posted August 29, 2013 everything is the same as far as the stick i have two identical models with same flex and same pattern ( and yes i did inspect for inconsistancy in the blades) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Souldriver 64 Report post Posted August 29, 2013 Same length? Are you different heights with the two different skates? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guitarfreek92 7 Report post Posted August 29, 2013 the stick is at the same positon when on skates at my lower lip on skates but because inline skates are taller then my ice the sticks side by side are different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Souldriver 64 Report post Posted August 29, 2013 That could be it. I have two sticks that are identicle except one is less than an inch longer. With the longer one I feel less controll and always shoot high. It has less to do with the position it is on you and the lenght of the actual stick. It sounds insane but the second I switch back to the shorter stick I feel normal again.Tryvusing the shorter stick for roller, even if it's just for warmups.The only other thing I can think of is bc roller pucks are on sliders you may be getting under the puck a little bit more.

Tyler Roy 86 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 Reason you shoot higher and with less control is the puck. An inline puck is a little bit lighter so it will fly higher if you are normally shooting ice pucks. You use an open curve to start with so the puck normally will want to go high. I play inline 99 out of 100 times but that one time on the ice at a demo or something messes with my shot. I had a all day demo with Bauer then had a inline game later that night and had the same issue you are having. If you play a lot of inline as well as ice I would just change your curve slightly to a more closed face. I would suggest the P88 as it would still have the depth you like with the p92 but would also help keep your shots come off wanting to go mid height. This is just MHO but I think that is what your issue is, not stick height or tape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
