Pavel, always appreciate your take on things, especially when it involves us. We have to let you know though, the Wraparound ICE has not been sold for at least 5 years and the unit you are using in the video to compare is heavily dated. We have made several updates since then including adding a cross hatch to the teeth for better grip, a wear indicator to show where you are in the process of usage (our area is twice that of the Bauer unit in this video), reenforced toe area (for everyone who loves the TDR), and we are always updating our plastic mixture to be better. More than happy to have you try that if you'd like - just let us know.

Sounds good to me. I’m not sure if it was the ice to be honest I think was sent to me earlier than 5 years ago but in either case always down to try new model

Barber, love the videos. I've used the wrap around for years, fully taped like normal. But I just scrape off all the bottom tape. Feels amazing

@PavelBarber

thanks bud. The only issue I had with scraping the bottom off is that the device moves a lot after I do it. It's loose so it's constantly moving up and down. Drives me crazy haha

@@PavelBarber Haha yeah true. I gotta retape throughout the game or practice to keep it secure tho

I use the wraparound i find it to be really commutable and it adds weight so if you were to start playing ice hockey and you don't need the wraparound the pick will add the weight instead when shooting/passing. but also if you eventually take it off it will improve your shot speed.

Hey Barber, really great video I enjoyed watching and you always give a good review on things but I can point out that the hockey wraparound you are using is a very old model and my team at hockeywraparound have improved on things so the current models are much better!

Average Person: Wow thanks Pavel for comparing these! Me : HOW THE HELL IS HE SO SMOOTH WITH THE PUCK !

Hey Pavel thanks for another great video as usual! I've been using the Wrap Around since Covid hit. If I was a KZreadr I'd make a video on how to tape it. Here's what I do if you can follow! I put it on nice and tight where you want the toe to be. I use about 2 1/2" wide sticky red plastic tape (I get from my construction site) cut about a 4" piece and tape only the top section in place stoping before bottom section of guard. Now pull the bottom away from blade and you can wrap the sticky red tape around the top of guard and around bare bottles of blade a couple times. Now reset the guard in place fully covering and shielding the red tape. On the heal I use electric tape because again I get it free on job! But the trick to it lasting longer at heal is a few of my early wraps I bunch the tape tight like a string just before it goes around the bottom with it falling in the last 2 creases of guard where it is somewhat protected from wear! The tape at toe usually outlasts the guard itself. Couple times I used my heat gun to soften it up to get little tighter fit. Sorry it went so long but wanted to be thorough in case it helps anyone out there....I know right, would have been quicker to make a video!!

Great advice. We know that when the blade is taped securely to the stick there tends not to be any problems with the fit. LOVE that you love our product!

So I use the wrap around, but I like having my blade fully taped. To avoid the friction, I will wrap the blade horizontally instead of vertically. It allows me to secure the wrap around with out putting tape on the bottom so it doesn't add any extra friction.

I tried something similar and it was good for that but then the bottom of it would be even less secured and there was a big gap moving up and down when I did it. Did you feel yours moving?

@QuantumTrigger

@PavelBarber I never noticed it moving or had a gap, but then again my friends, and I definitely aren't playing as intense of hockey as you, so that probably makes a huge difference. I also use a P92M curve, so I am not sure if that would make a difference as well compared to the P28.

Def one of the ways to do it!

i been using the wraparound for like 4 years. i got the bauer blade protector & had it for like a week & i can say my hands are way better with the bauer one shot is feeling cleaner to. i think it’s a must have in my opinion i just hope it lasts at least a month or 2 with almost everyday use

@PavelBarber

Thanks for sharing. The durability test is a big deal so we'll have to wait and see. I hope they last long!

I stickhandle/shoot with my wraparound everyday for 15-40 minutes. I haven’t had to retape in 29 days despite the bottom wearing off. My stickhandling and shot have been unaffected and the unit doesn’t move for me at all. I wonder why yours is different

Personally I didn't like the wraparound, and bought the bauer for my sherwood and found that you can actually make it fit, and I absolutely love it, my shot is way cleaner now.

bro you are crazy at hockey

I’ve been using the wraparound… but I hope to try the Bauer if I ever get a chance.

Hey Pavel, what a bouncer for passing are you using in the video?

@waddupnoob

bump; what is that rebounder?

How much flex is on your ABS compared to a wood blade? Does your blade come ìn a tapered fit?

I find the CCM p29 works fine with the p92 blade protector but like Barbs, my ccm p28 does have trouble fitting inside the bauer p28 protector. You just have to jam it in more.

@PavelBarber

Yeah that makes sense. The CCM & Sherwood P28's are shorter. Never knew that.

Which one is better for beginners

Use the wrap around on the Proto and the Bauer protector on the Sherwood..

Ive been using the wraparound for about 2 years, I never have had that problem with the gap on the bottom, only occasionally at the toe but the tape seemed to, help at least for me

Solid review! What's that rebounder by chance? Hopefully it's a cheaper option than some of the others out there.

It looks like you need a new wraparound! That one you have is very old and is an outdated model. Since they’ve been doing it way longer than Bauer, they’ve already made tons of upgrades to the product

Do they make any Bauers that fit the P88 curve?

@@PavelBarber net rebounder that lets you shoot pucks into it and they come back flat on the ground. Would love to send you one??

I think if you changed the way you taped the wraparound, it wouldn't move at all... even if the tape wears down at the bottom, the locks it in on the sides. The tape around the front end should have gone a little beyond the lip and then it would not move the toe at all.. been using mine for more than a year and it's never moved.

@PavelBarber

There's no way to have it not move at all as the training aid by nature needs tape to hold it, and doesn't fit curve specific. Believe me I've tried every tape job imaginable to have it not move but it always does.
