Very nice videos. It's hard to find Inline hockey videos. You guys look like you're really good. I was wondering how often you break sticks? You seem to put a lot of stress on the stick, and also when you were first starting out did you think about flexing the stick, snapping the wrist, and all those things?

@HockeyFan5448 Hardly ever break the shaft, the head of the stick usually cracks. I've used a two-piece for the last 2 years because the head cracks very easily playing on concrete and blades are alot cheaper to replace. Slapshots/snapshots is what usually break sticks because you're essentially slamming the stick into the ground to make it flex. The shaft of the stick is supposed to flex; it's made for it.

If you curious. I'm currently using a Easton SE16 Shaft with RBK 11k blade (P38 Curve)

@pineriversdragons I use a similar two-piece set up with the same pattern blade. What flex is the SE16?

[pineriversdragons]

@mintbro Just 85. it's a inline puck so 85 is fine. if I was playing ice i'd go a bit stiffer so the stick doesnt feel like jelly when it connects

@pineriversdragons i cant seam to get the snap part of the snap shot and dont quite understand what you mean by snapping the head of your stick, clarify please??

@JoeyGeorgic ya this guy doesnt no wat he is sayin he plays roller hockey hes a joke

[pineriversdragons]

@JoeyGeorgic Don't get too fussed about it getting in the air as well. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a quick, hard shot along the ground. Especially if you're a defender going for rebounds

You guys have the greatest roller hockey video's on youtube, thanks for the help!

[pineriversdragons]

@JoeyGeorgic Yeah it's just flex that gives it the power. There's a reason wood sticks only cost 10-30 dollars and that's because they're hardly used in high level play and you simply can't get the same flex and weight as in a composite stick

[pineriversdragons]

@JoeyGeorgic sorry to break it to you but you're basically saucer passing. my little sister does the same thing. she can't flex the stick so she rolls the puck up from the heel to the toe which makes it spin. The puck stays in the air due to it spinning (like a saucer) rather than by force. there's nothing wrong with that, you just won't be able to get as much speed when compared to flexing/whipping the kickpoint in the shaft.

@pineriversdragons Alright thanks.
