Read more I dont know a lot about sticks, but these are pro stock one piece sticks. If by taping the hosel you mean the small bit of tape above the blade, those are just covering where there are chips out of the stick, in an attempt to keep the chips from getting bigger. legiahockey said: the s-15's look sick black on black Read more Thanks....I was bored....a good way to feel like Im getting new gear without actually getting new gear!!!!

eric42434224 1 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) So true GaGa......it is only a matter of time until I have some PPF's. Not an if, just a when.Also, I will likely be doing custom 0ne95 skates through JR.I figure that will be about a grand......I will skim it off the tax return so my wife doesnt know! ;)But I can honestly say that I havent seen, felt, or used anything that I would use in place of my helmet, pants, elbows, and shins. Cant see a reason to replace those unless something amazing comes out. Edited November 20, 2008 by eric42434224 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read more They've been sold, but the palms on these aren't mint. gelowitz said: I never really understood why people taped the hosel on their sticks. What do they think it's going to do? Read more I've found taping fully heel to toe with an extra strip on the bottom leads to a lot better life, the blade won't wear down or chip as much, and catching a puck on the heel or toe without tape messes with the feel for me. I only do it when I take time and prep my sticks at home. At the rink I just do 75% of the blade and call it good.As far as Easton gloves... LOVE the look, not so keen on the fit of this pair of Handzus pros I have. I need a bigger fit, they feel like they want to come off. I think it partly has to do with my thumb slipping around a bit and not staying bottomed out. Might get better as they break in more, I don't know. The fingers get better every time I put them on after hitting them with a little heat and pulling them a little straighter. Cuff needs a little upward flare to keep my wrist from rubbing on it, too.

wildebeest 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2008 Kept myself occupied while watching a movie about Jimmy Hoffa last nightUsed a huge-ass sharpie and a brush-tip drawing marker. I skated 2 hours and played 2 hours on them tonight and there's no sign of fading or rubbing off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rustpot 1 Report post Posted November 23, 2008 Those look good. I was thinking of just hitting mine with some black spraypaint, Selanne style. I don't think I'd leave as much gray as you, but that harder/smoother area might not take color as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read more I was worried about them turning purple, but I think the drawing marker (faber-castell PITT artist pen) said that it was lightfast and waterproof, so I gave it a once-over with that after I did a couple of coats with the big Sharpie Magnum. Hopefully that will hold off the purple fade for a while. Four hours on the ice and they're still going strong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
