bunnyman666 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 The Curtis Curve is well missed. One of the key benefits was paddle down in the VH. Well, I think I have found the loophole for legality in this pursuit. I start with the end knob. I cut it flush to the shaft on the ice side, then I add some bulk mid-shaft. The shaft isn’t 100% flush to the ice, but rotating it forward makes it more flush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckstopper Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Nope, not interested in making a 1 in 1000 paddle down save at the expense of the saves I will miss due to the added weight of all that tape and the puckhandling opportunities I'll muff because I can't quickly and efficiently get my hands into position to make a good play. This is a solution desperately seeking a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so; however- 1) not that much added weight 2) not all that hard to move the block up and down the stick In the end, I am merely thinking outside of the box. If this end up working out, I will be adding this to my shafts in a more permanent manner. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 Actually, with a few tweaks, this tape job will be fine. I never felt any awkward weightiness, nor did it unbalance my stick. I will likely add this to my stick in a permanent fashion next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagoal Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 You use pretty heavy sticks anyway, eh? I can't imagine you use Warrior VXX Spaceship + or Bauer Hypersonic Spaceship sticks like the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
