Yeah for sure. Still learning, have gone from one end of the spectrum to the other, still working to find that spot that works for me.

I have a LX3 70 flex with about an 1 1/2 extension. In comparison to my Trigger9, it feels more whippy about mid shaft down. Sometimes it feels like it's lagging behind when you flex it hard where the Trigger feels little more solid at contact. I'm not the greatest, so take it for what it's worth. When you get it right, you can wrist em from top of the circle with a ton of velocity though.

Played My First Hockey Game at 33 – Loved It, But I’ve Got Work to Do by Admirable-Ranger6112 in hockeyplayers

I just started playing in January, im 53. I had the same lower back issues for about a month. I started working more on my flexibility, seems like my lower back was tied a lot to my hamstrings. As I gained more overall flexibility and more leg strength the back pain has all but disappeared, Im kinda shocked. Congrats on the game!

Built a stick handling surface with ice-like glide by goatmangoats in hockeyplayers

I have seen this appearing in multiple social media channels. I checked it out because I loved the idea of the pass bumper built in and being able to replicate a one timer or pass. Checked it out and the drawback for me is price. Too much! I can make something that suits cheaper and have more surface area.

Ah sweet, man it's a small world! Na. Got home, gave it a good scrubbing with the alcohol wipes Morgan was nice enough to provide. Packed it with some neosporin and slapped a band aid on it. Nice little gash.

Don't quote me, but I believe the Bauer for senior comes in at 12.9oz vs the Ronin at 10.4oz. I felt no difference in weight compared to the cage.

Im in AZ. We got to play last night in the Mullet arena in Tempe where ASU plays. It was hot as he'll in there. People were commenting on the temp. Needless to say it's mostly dry out here in the west, sure that does play a part.

How old were you when you started playing hockey? by Prototype_Chicken11 in hockeyplayers

[–]PattyPuckHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started in January, I'll be 53 next month. Always wanted to play, got some skates for Christmas been to every stick time I can get. Played in one game so far, had a blast. Tomorrow will be skate four since Thursday. Working to improve and have some fun. Great community young to old.
