It felt more comfortable to stick handle and shoot so far on the shooting pad, I'll try shooting in a stick and puck later in the week.
that is weird how it is going faster even when the puck is fluttering... are you using a different flex? you need to change your form a bit between diff types of blades... you need to practice and see what works and get used to it.. when i used a toe curve for the first time, i had to get used to letting the stick do the work and just slinging the puck off the toe... and accept the fact that my backhand will suffer.. i have since gone back to my bread and butter p88.
