Back to the tape thing, i like to rip the tape in half and tape the blade in thin strips all the way through. My theory is it gives me a faster rotation on the puck when i shoot

wrap your stick the way you do, and wrap another or the same stick the recommened way....see if your theory works.

i could be wrong though but they have this room with a net and accuracy markers etc

With regards to taping your blade.
I cut my tape in half so it takes twice as long to get around the blade. It also creates twice as many ridges which gives a bit more friction. I dunno I can feel the puck better on my stick when I do this.
ah I just read that Kilinim does this too  | |

Heres my stuff, I have only played ice hockey once, but I am going to go to my friends drop in and such and learn how to skate and stuff.
Helmet: Nike Bauer 5500 w/ FM8500 cage (memory foam is awesome, haven't really worn the cage much but I will when i start ice hockey)
Elbow Pads: Easton X-treme (decent, but will get something more comfortable)
Gloves: Nike Bauer XVI (I love these gloves)
Shoulder Pads: CCM Tack 752 (a bit big so I might get something else to replace it)
Pants: CCM Supra (surprisingly light, and not bulky)
Shin Pads: Nike Bauer Supreme 50 (I simply love these, light w/dry-fit, not bulky, super comfy)
Skates: Nike Bauer Supreme Comp (not worn long enough to break them in)
Rollerblades: Mission Assassins (good blades, kinda expensive but it was the best fit for me)
Shafts/Sticks: Warrior Dolomite Fedorov (love the LIE 4 that it comes with)

If anyone knows similar patterns to P106, please post it here or PM me. I have a feeling I will have to switch curves because finding the blades locally is expensive and difficult..but I don't want to order and have wait time.

I stopped using RBK ops'.
Had 3, they all had the same problem in common for me.The blades seemed to have damage faster, especially at the toe....even faster than wooden blades/sticks. Gameplay wise, i still don't feel convinced that any of the RBK sticks i have was the best i have ever used. I remember a Jofa/Titan (which now is RBK) stick that i used a few years ago which was an FB wood which was better than any of the RBK ops that i ever owned.
Until i feel convinced otherwise, i am sticking to my TPS.
