The bottom of a stick

[Ferecito]

Hey when u play does the bottom of your blade get all cut up? this is happening and i wonder if fully taping it would be okay. Thanx. Yo Queiro Taco Bell!

[hockeyislife]

Yup. I tape mine around the whole blade partly because of the way I shoot. Yeah it does drag a little but not enough to affect my stickhandling.

stick wax or even a regular candle will reduce the "dragging"

if you use a composite blade or even a composite covered like the vector wood core ones that doesn't happen. but wax is a good idea too.

No the composite blades do not wear, they just split.....Wax can help because it serves as a sort of lubricant reducing the friction and heat, and delays the splitting seen on so many composite blades used on sports floors.

[Ferecito]

Si,Si. Thanx for the responses. I'll see if there is any candles I can use. If not, does SurfWax work? I've got plenty.

[MDE3]

almost any harder wax.... not sticky. it will tend to soften from the heat of friction as the bottom of the stick slides hard across the floor/surface, creating a slight lubricating effect. Note this is for sport surfaces only, not concrete or asphalt...there is nada that will help there..at least for any composite/graphite or wood blades.
