Inspired by a post that comes up when you search for this stick. But if someone has one of these in reasonable shape and 37.5 you can name your price (within reason).
I had one for years and when the head snapped I've never been able to find a stick that I like the feel of in quite the same way.
I'm also open to recommendations from any other ex-DF24 owners 😂
Do you Training with shin pads or without them
Just wondering if anyone has any advice for me on carbon percentage and bow type. I haven’t played in 10 years (stopped when I was 15) but got to JRPC 2 when I played. That was like regional level in the UK before national squads. I played in midfield mostly. I’m a bit overwhelmed by bows as it looks like a lot has changed since I last played. Would a pro bow be suitable for me or should I go low now or mid bow? And carbon percentage… I was looking at 70 or 85 but not sure what’s better for me. I was leaning towards 70 but don’t know whether that’s good enough long term if I pick things up again quickly? Would it be better getting 85 and learning with that? Appreciate any advice
What happened with all the coaches leaving? Seems like odd timing. They have been weak as of late, but won Patriot league in 2022.
Does anyone have insight on any of the north/central NJ club teams? I have two girls u8 and u12 who want more than their rec teams. We are looking for a team with good coaching for the younger age groups, good communication and a good atmosphere. Any feedback on New Heights, NJ Grit, Mid Jersey Knights, Centercourt, or Omega? We are new to the club world, so any questions I should ask before signing up? Thanks in advance !
Bit confused by what Australians call the positions in hockey😂guys in my team seem to call the central midfield position centre half (to me from the uk this is like a centre back in defence in football.) and then right half seems to be right full back or a right back? Just wanted some clarity as often getting subbed on for the older guys and fill into a few positions, so sometimes bit lost as to where I’m supposed to be coming on for ahah
Hey everyone
I am new to Hockey (I previously played Rugby and Cricket)
I have found myself on the left wing, do you have any tips for me to be more impactful when playing as a winger??
Cheers and thank you.
I coach a men's hockey team and work full-time. I realized last week that almost all my session planning happens in a mild panic right after work on a Tuesday.
I'm trying to figure out if this is just a 'me' problem or a universal grassroots volunteer problem.
Do you find you're in a mild panic thinking of what to do in the car or on pitch side? If you're not, how do you do it?? 😅
Hi i was wondering what would you do as a ref when the defenders run out too early after the whistle. When i send one away and in the end there is only the goalkeeper. Do i give a 7 meter or a card and what happens after?
Hi all, I am a long time goalie, and have used the same OBO FG for about 15 years (with general maintenence/replacement parts). Idk what has changed, but i am finding it is giving me horrible headaches, so it is time to retire the old girl, shes paid her dues.
Obo is of course phasing out the old design, and since its now hurting me, im not really interested in purchasing another, but I am wondering what they new design is like. I like the integrated throat guard, but im having trouble finding any info on the interior. Whats it like in comparison to the old design? Any recommendations for another helmet?
I play high level, so high level of protection is important. Thanks!
This season I was playing with a young lad on my team at ST. At a few points in the season when a defender was sweeping up a ball he would run behind them and lean over their strong side stick to slightly ramp the ball over for him to then run onto.
Most of the time he would get away with it with the defenders shouting “you can’t come from behind like that!”. A few times he would be blown by the umpire and a couple of cards were given. Can anyone clarify what exactly the rules are on this because it did seem dodgy to watch.
Cheers
Can anyone recommend some shin pads? I have some standard grays ones but got hit to one side of the pad and it hurt and bruised through the pad. Pretty sure it was just bad luck where it hit but I am susceptible to varicose veins and a knock on one leg really brought one out so im keen to protect myself from future surgery fees 😬. Is there a product that wraps around more than others or is better at spreading the load if hit?
Last few training sessions my toe strap keeps going over my shoe (see picture) which makes it feel loose and not safe (cause I’ve had some balls hit my shoe because it was loose which then hurt) I was wondering if you guys have this too and how you fix it in a match/training. Cause for me I can’t just pull it back down, I have to completely get my legguard and kicker off. I can’t tighten the toe strap more since my shoe won’t fit in anymore (I also can’t do it after I put the kicker on) (the kickers are: OBO ROBO HI REBOUND PLUS kickers)
Sorry if these sentences are not correct English is not my first language.
I can trap a ball just fine in warmups then a game starts and someone fires a rocket at my feet from ten yards away and my brain just goes nope. I pull my stick away, close my eyes or just jump over it like a coward. The ball goes past me and everyone on my team is mad. Coach says to keep my stick on the ground and trust my skills but when that ball is screaming at me I forget everything also heard that turning your stick slightly helps absorb the impact but I can't even keep my stick still when I'm scared. So how do you practice taking hard passes without being terrified of getting hurt.
Looking for advice. Daughter has grade 3 sprain and will need to wear a brace when she returns to FH. What works with the hard shin guards? The lace up ones her dr reccs won’t fit under the guard with the ankle support.
This is such a complete disappointment. Did they just not want to pay someone to actually produce something creative and authentic? Why are they fluffy? Are they having these made into costumes for the tournament itself?
Ugh. I just...I do not like this. At all.
