cwarnar Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I've ordered a Flux... I had the shaft on my new to me 1S stick crack, so I was able to get a replacement 1S for cheap from the Hockey Shop in Surrey (end of season blowout) and am gonna toss the Flux on it. I'm hoping to do a bit of comparison between the Flux, Russian Grip and the TackiMac Command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPv6Freely Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I bought a buttendz for my player sticks 3-4 years ago. Literally couldn't get the damn thing on. Tried everything. Ended up tossing it in the trash. The tacki macs were so easy with their double sided tape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punisher Goalie Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 @cwarnar @IPv6Freely I found the Buttendz easy to install on a 1S too, but I never even tried the included spray. I just used hairspray. Nice thing about hairspray is you can get a big bottle cheap and use as much as you want, which would make it easier to get the grip on.

TheGoalNet Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Russian Grip is the easiest to put on. I got Butt Endz on, but you’ve really got to load up on the lube. That’s what the spray is, it’s not adhesive, it’s lube With my Flux I stretched the end open a bit during install. It rolls sometimes when I slide my hand up to play the puck. A strip of tape corrects the issue Anyone tried a sniper skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Tanzi Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 so i have been thinking about switching to a buttendz grip, but im not sure which to get. i dont like the massive knobs, for example a knob like holtby, ill throw a pic up here of my knob. should i get a flux or the sentry?

I would recommend the Flux. I find the Sentry to be a big classic goalie knob. Scroll back a couple pages, there's a lot of pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Math. Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Curious has to how you people do up your knob. There are about as many ways to go about it as there is goalies so, I thought we could share. I do the "Carey Price learned it from Markov" method. Gradually tapers with no real knob and the end of the stick. Bulk of it goes on white, one pass of red tape and then red athletic tape. I do the last layer of red tape really just so that it looks red, otherwise the white shows through the red athletic tape and it just look pinkish. You can also see from the pictures that I chop off a fairly good amount of stick. I just think it improves the balance of the stick. Alright, you seen mine, now show me yours!

cwarnar Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Buttendz Flux on both my 1S sticks. Had a Ripussian Grip but prefer the Flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insertnamehere Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Buttendz Sentry for me. Probably going to switch to a Tacki-Mac Command Goalie grip next. Way cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punisher Goalie Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 I’ve had the new Buttendz Future on my 2S Pro for a couple skates now. Liking the minimal knob a lot. Grip provides plenty of traction so it’s still really easy to pick up off the ice if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircanuck Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Man I have the biggest knob of all of you, plus being the biggest knob helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Math. Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 So like I said, I got me self a new schtick, and decided to outfit it with a Tacki-mac grip. Reading through the instruction, it comes with a double sided tape. Knowing that Tacki-mac comes from the golf world (hence, I assume, the double sided tape has this is how you apply golf grip), and having seen a video of Buttendz on how to remove and reuse their grip, and the fact that these one come with an application spray instead of glue or tape, I figured I'd instal mine with spraynet so that it's easier to get off if ever I decided that it needs to come off! Has anyone ever tried that, and if so, what were the results? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMan Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 This guy has reviewed (for forward sticks) most of them on the market. So far, I'm liking the player version of the sniperskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose75 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I've been using the Genoni knob since about June. Looks funky, but I absolutely love it. That space acts like a trigger and I've found it much easier to control my stick handling and shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
