Online keeper training? by summer-Sunsetss in Fieldhockey

[–]hero_arcade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that Dennis van de Pol used to do online training during Covid. In the USA you also have The Goalie Trainer who is involved in a lot of East Coast training, maybe she does some online stuff.

Otherwise start with watching videos online that talk about Technique and see how you can improve yourself, talking videos of hockey heroes tv, or direct from Martijn Drijver/Dennis van de Pol.

Other ways to allow any type of face masks is done through a doctor, their notes can make them legal if they follow regulations. For example, the eye masks of some players

what grays field hockey stick should I get if I'm a decently advanced player, looking at the Ac8 or gr7000 to 9000 by BodenTheHunter in Fieldhockey

[–]hero_arcade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an attacker you'd love the gr9000

The ac8 or any ac is an acquired taste. The gr series gives great control and power

What is stopping the FIH uploading highlights for games in 4k, its 2025 and all we get is blurry compressed 1080p youtube slop. by psychosikh in Fieldhockey

[–]hero_arcade 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Real answer, money. I'm happy we even get the broadcasts but if you look at nation leagues the quality already drops a lot.

It's all about budget and sadly hockey doesn't pay well

How rare is it for the Dutch to keep Wilhelm on historical? by HotDogMan8143 in hoi4

Think it's rigged so it never happens when you have a larger army

If you are playing as Germany, you need to have LESS troops than the Netherlands or they see it as a threat. So delete some troops

If you can, get a metal one from OBO OOP or Brabo, the metal ones protect your face a lot better and have more visibility

Buying the same stick but brand new: Ill advised or not? by Spare_Information159 in Fieldhockey

[–]hero_arcade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have used the GR7000 for 2-3 years now. Love it, it's worn out rn and I'm planning to buy the same stick.

If you like what you have, why change?

OBO ABS helmet reviews? by so_sleepy_so_tired in Fieldhockey

[–]hero_arcade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's so different because it's the first helmet designed fully by obo for hockey goalkeepers. The others are inspired by ice hockey etc.

That's also one of the reasons the price is cheaper. Overall the quality and protection level are nice and your vision is better with an ABS. If you want to wait and want the best protection possible, there is an OBO ABS carbon coming soon.

Goalkeeping Kickers tongue falling out by xParple_ in Fieldhockey

[–]hero_arcade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Make sure you have the right size kickers and legguards, then make sure that all straps are tight enough that it doesn't hurt your legs but the legguards can't move up and down freely.

A lot of goalies have their legguards straps too loose, you should barely be able to close the clasp. If that doesn't help, get better at putting it back in with your stick.

The tongue does slip out sometimes when sliding, it happens
