bunnyman666 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Could be the silliest thing ever, having a nearly as strong as my dominant hand left hand, but something tells me that I could actually be quite effective with a left hand blocker. I am almost perfectly ambidextrous. I would make it more like a practise palm than a functional catch and executed a bit differently than how Blackburn’s was done. Not that I am one to give one shit what others think, but I am looking for the enough push to do this. The donor blocker can be had CHEAPLY. For those unfamiliar, here is the Vaughn Blackburn left hand block/catch. G’d help me that I would never need this for the reason why Dan Blackburn needed this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 I ordered the blocker. I will wear it in warm ups, maybe reinforce the palm. It may end up more as a training tool to square up to the puck. I will do this silly experiment for a bit, but if I end up liking it, it could be interesting. For one thing, I would spec it with sidewalls on both sides. As silly as a person with no hand mobility disability using this previously sounded, after @seagoal posting this video, it became a bit less silly.

bunnyman666 Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 I may try this out Saturday. Any goalie coaches have thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
