How long of a stick does everyone use with skates on? Noticing that with a long stick once the pucks in your feet you're kinda screwed

Any interest in organizing a drop-in roller game in Langle?, like the RS Epic nights of ice hockey or whatever it was called

Count me in for a velcro one so I can use it with whatever jersey I'm wearing that day.
:D



I'd be down for that.
No chance of me organizing it until after the season in April. Once that rolls around I usually organize a by-monthly game for my buddies. Ice is so cheap after April. Same goes for the inline floor.



So true, G2!
My slapshot was a flailing mess and an embarassment to whoever saw it. My son did a shooting clinic, and I brought my stick out one night. The instructor watched me take 3 shots, then grabbed a short "Base" stick out of his pile. Hooked me up with a different blade so my lie was proper, and my shot went from fart to rocket. I can hit corners now at a high rate of speed. Not bad for a goalie, hehehe.

The stick was the factor that was holding me back, and by spending only a few minutes with someone who knows my shot is actually dangerous now after cutting down my current sticks. It's amazing what good coaching can do, although when I snap my Rbk, I'm going with a custom Base.

along with improper height, a lot of people use too stiff of a stick too, esp asians who are shorter than your average white dude. They get an 87 flex, chop it down 3-4 inches, and now you stick as stiff as chara's. Rule of thumb people, again unless you are a D man, you should be using a flex roughly half your weight (already cut). People who use to stiff of a stick generally think it works for them but they are overpowering their wrist and snap shots which cause big time delay, and time winding up. wrist shots and snappers should be effortless and the stick should be doing most of the work. with slappers, that is a diff story, but even then, if your stick is too stiff, you try to pound the shit out of the puck rather than being conscious about good form and following through... ok that's my rant of the day. lol
