I'll be honest...the way this test was done wasn't very good. For one, its more for stickhandling and wristers. If you're going to be doing slapshot...especially with regular hockey pucks, you should using a shooting board or tiles. Secondly, putting these on with just a couple strands of tape to hold it on is just shortchanging yourself. You wouldn't do that with a normal stick, so why do it with this? Wrap it up! The tape will of course wear off on the bottom, but the tape will keep even tension on the blade protector so it stays in place. Lastly, that concrete looks pretty coarse...not really a good surface for anything hockey regardless.
Even though it is one year ago I still need to ask: I just bought a wood stick to train stick handling because, when we play in our slalom training group indoors, I am bad as hell. I want to train my stick handling etc. (no slapshots or any aggressive shots). I have no tiles, and I am honest, I would like to train it while rollerblading. All I got is rough concrete around my area. Is it possible that a guard would suit my needs anyway, because it isn't meant for playing? I really thought tape would hold up better, but that was a noob thought I guess. Or, should I try to get another stick purposefully just for concrete and don't care about the condition or breaking it? Is there any another option like duct taping first, and then grip taping?
As someone who only do rollerblading, maybe some shenaningangs on ice (no actually ice hockeying, and no slapshots etc.) and doesn't have tiles, what is the best on rough concrete? I tried taping them but only one strife on the concrete the tape is pretty much gone. Just trying to get more puck control (with a street puck) with stick handling trying on rollerblades etc. I have no smooth area, and indoors I am mostly doing slalom skating - we play just for fun at the and of some sessions but even there I am just bad so I would like to train my stick handling on a parking lot with the rough concrete.
I just buy my kid the cheap $20usd wooden stick for when we practice on concrete. Sure they don’t have exact feel of his game stick but just seems better than hassling with a “protector” that may or may not even protect his stick.
Sherwood sells blade wraps at Canadian Tire for $10CAD. They provide no-nonsense protection for my stick off-ice. No complaints here. 👌🏼
How does it compare with the Hockey Wrap Around?

can you do as4 pro vs trigger 6 pro vs ft5 pro?
Hey Chris,
Any upcoming reviews on the Machs or comparisons with Hyperlite?
Hi I really needed this advice!
The Bauer no tape blade guard has been great for me
Can u do a video on the supreme mach vs the ultrasonic

Are you still gonna make the price point comparison for every stick line from bauer and ccm?
The teeth are getting damaged so easily because you’re using ice hockey pucks…I think…I’d love to see the same review with roller sticks!
But they’re all good in ball hockey games?
Only the original but yes !

I'm sorry, but this feels like an ad thinly veiled as a comparison video.
It’s just close to the chest bud as I’ve been working with the real Wrap Around since they began and copycats aren’t cool
@@HockeyTutorialOfficial I get you. Still love your videos, though.
Is that Liam Kirk?!!!
No it is Tommy!
Oh lol. I got excited, they look slightly similar with the facial hair😂
didn't someone bring out a metal one?
I don't remember the brand but I have a metal one from 2010 ish.... i still have it.
Hockey Wraparound - that's their original one
Just use a shaft allowing you to swap out replacement blades
The availability of those blades aren't like 10yrs ago.
@@josh33172Every bigger online hockey seller has 5 to ten different abs blades for sale. What more do you need ?
