I would have preferred for the players to say what kick point their main stick is. Try all 3 sticks, then pick the one they like best and see if the kick point matches their main stick. I don’t particularly care to hear if the player can guess the stick brand and model. With that said. I’d love to see a blind stick tests where you guys measure shot speed. Does a different kick point really affect the shot speed that much. Or is kickpoint all feel. Let the players start with a shot from their main stick for a baseline, then the blind sticks. Also shot speed with high, mid range, and low end sticks. This could also be done with an accuracy test.

The amount of tape used could easily change the weight and feel of the stick. It won’t mess with the flex so much but definitely change how the stick would feel.

@@AlanenJ It would change the kick point and feel of the stick when shooting and performing other skills tests. Personally I would be able to tell that weight difference right away, but that's with over 25 years of experience. There's a couple older videos of Phil Kessel and other NHL pros talking about the candy cane tape job they do and how they will tighten up the gaps if they want the kick point and feel a little stiffer. My main point was that spray paint probably would have been better to cover up the graphics. Especially if they're trying to guess between different stick brands that have different performance benefits.

I think a cool blind test concept would be tapping up JJ and Tommy’s current stick they play with and seeing if they can correctly identify their own stick!

You should do a video like this for goalies.

Seeing the different stick materials and stick building types could be really cool. For example a wooden stick vs a carbon stick, as well as the different types of manufacturing, such as 1 full piece or multiple different pieces.

It would be very interesting to use a radar gun to capture the shot speed of wrist shots, snap shots and slap shots using the different sticks in a blind test to see which truly offers the best performance for each shot type.

Top end stick vs lower end sticks

My obvious suggestion would be: same stick - different flex. Especially f.ex. a more high kick stick, where many saying it's harder to lift the puck on a wrist shot. Go intermediate to stiff

@hockeyrepairshop1469

5 жыл бұрын

Good idea Jens! We could actually find out what is more important: 1. Flex (stiffness) 2. Kick-point and even 3. Blade curve!

You should do the same blind test kick point with CCM Super Tacks AS1.

You should do either a curve blind test or a flex blind test.

Why do you guys wrap the sticks in tape horizontally instead of doing vertical strips? You’d probably use way less tape and it would take far less time...

Do this with CCM

How about looking for the difference in older models to the latest models. like Reebok ribcor (or CCM ribcor reckoner) to the CCM ribcor trigger 3d or Warrior Covert QR1 to the latest QRE. It would be awesome!

Great video

What flex and curves used on each stick ?

I would have liked to see a comparison of the puck velocity of each kick point doing slap shots. The slow moving stick handling through the legs, behind the back and flicking it top shelf at the goal line isn't much of a test. There were some wrist and snap shots in there but even those don't load the sticks as much as a slap shot so I'm still confused and need to watch another video to find out the information I came here for.

When you tape your hole stick does it feel heavier?

can you guys test out different Lys?

Can you do a blind stick test on a lower price point stick compared to top of the line stick. For example the 2x compared to the ft2

I see that Timmy and JayJay can help you out now when they are on a break from the NHL show. At least you didn't cut down on the production and picked 2 guys from the street.

do a test between ccm bauer and warrior any sticks from each company

Does anyone have experience with changing flex for the different kick points??? I have always been 85 flex mid kick I want to try a low kick and or a 75 flex... but not sure if changing drastically to a 75 low kick is too severe

youre not wrong about the accuracy part, but he isn't wrong about the power. when they discontinued the rbz and made the jetspeed, they changed the "accuracy" to "power" to market it too defenceman. But I personally still think it's an accuracy stick, and I think the jetspeed gets more power because of the hybrid kickpoint. They advertised the jetspeed as a dangler and sniper stick, it has amazing blade feel, but that's why so many d man use it cause of the power. They had McDavid use it in ads, even though he uses a gen1 super tacks, and they really went all in with Tavares using it. so it really all comes down to preference

If they could put the old X60 blades on the Nexus, it would be a perfect stick. I love the way it shoots but for whatever reason, I can't stick handle or pass well with them. The blades feel terrible. Actually, all the "top of the line" sticks are terrible now. They are WAY too light. Anyone that really plays and understands what you need out of your stick knows that you don't want these sticks as light as they are. Almost everyone I know that used top tier sticks has gotten worse. And pros don't even use them. I get a lot of pro stock sticks and none are as light as some of these newer ones. They are always like 1 or 2 down from the top with the top's paint job. I guess I can't speak for everyone. Just the pros and people I know.
