A.YOUNGoalie13 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 After nearly breaking my finger 6 times in one practice yesterday, I think it is finally time to get one of these things. Any reason why you guys use one or the other? They both seem like good products and I’m not sure which to choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdeFIN Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I bought Paddle Wedge for just a tad cheaper than Blok and made in Europe. (Where is Blok made? ) And I like the streamlined shape of the PW more but I don't see any real reason to choose one over other on performance. Both do the job and that's what matters for your fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johncho Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The wedge looks really poorly printed in a 3D machine, even in the product pictures. It'd be nice if they could clean it up a bit, but also if it is 3D printed, I hope it's been impact tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only used them for maybe five times so far thanks to covid so no info on durability from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they allow them the way they mess with the goalie equipment.. Has anyone tried making their own ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemc620 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I ordered a couple bloks to use this fall. My issue is that each of them might have lasted a month and I can’t afford to put a new one on my stick every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on the Official rules, but are you allowed to use one in-game (in other pro leagues)? I thought this was a practice protection piece only.
