Punisher Goalie Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 That thread title is a bit of a psychological test... Haven’t seen one of these posted yet, just thought it would be cool to have a place to show how you tape your goalie stick knob. Here’s mine - experimenting with a Holtby-style top using 1/2-inch strip. Not nearly as large as the DVD-sized knob he uses, but I like it so far. Finished off with some gauze tape to match my team colors. Post yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose75 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Old grip: New grip to test out. I used skate laces for the ribs. Saw a European goalie with it and wanted to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Interesting. I have a Russian Grip. No real complaints to date. Might test drive a Butt Endz soon too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be an issue for a foam core or wood stick user, but on my 1S it threw off the feel quite a bit. I’d be happy to ship mine to you so it doesn’t sit collecting dust. PM me if interested.

TheGoalNet Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 @Punisher Goalie - if possible, can you hold on to it for a week? I should know by then thats interesting too. I feel like my Russian Grip is lighter than tape. I will weigh to confirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With just the blocker on I do like the feel, and the lace doesn't jut out like tape ribs do. I won't be able to try it on ice for a while though (nursing a groin pull).

MTH Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Old school. Just a lot of tape. Need it to balance out the stick's weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAngle41 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 @Punisher Goalie first off... I love that you didn't shy away from the topic title (even if you added a qualifier.) Secondly, my knob is about the same as yours up top, I just don't tape underneath at all. Never have. Not sure why. Poke checks is what I'm supposed to say, but I don't poke check all that often. Guess maybe I'm just lazy and once I get done with all that wrapping I don't feel like doing more. I do retape my blade every skate though. Oh I'll find a way to waste as much tape as all you knobbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Mine is standard-ish. I build it with the flou yellow tape and wrap the outside of the knob with white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends on your living situation. Since there aren’t any little demon bunnies living in my hutch, I have my equipment in the basement, though I am going to clean that all up. My shoppe/garage will have vintage goalie stuff on display for sharpening customers. Ideally- my pool would be replaced by an outdoor kitchen and detached work shoppe/equipment area (a small pole barn/outbuilding) and the garage would be full of motorcycles. Mrs. bunnyman666 does not feel the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mroy31 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Figured I'd get my knob out too, it's ribbed. Stick tape base and ribbing, base of the knob is also the twisted tape wrapped around a couple layers. Then grip tape bottom to top, fold the tape in half and make the knob bigger until I have just enough to wrap back down to the bottom. Stick tape to seal it off again. I have a custom Russian grip on the way that is a similar design. The grip tape does get a little dirty after a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
