Blind performance hockey stick test - Big Manufacturer vs New Small Brand 

That’s a funny idea 🤣😂 lets make it happen!

Easy there Satan.

Questions is... which sticks?

Hockey Tutorial get 2 Bauer sticks and tell them that 1 is a warrior and 1 is a small brand.

Yes the placebo effect, or use top spec sticks and tell them they are budget sticks or vise versa lol.

Barely added weight to the stick (roughly 68grams and this includes the tape normally on your stick blade and Buttend). Painting them isn’t a good idea. It ruins the stick, removes the grip coating (which means adding paint and more tape for grip) paint comes off in your gloves and lots of other issues including multiple layers of paint required to totally hide branding and logos. It’s also difficult to find out how much weight you are adding with paint. With the tape, we could weigh it and remove the cover up at the end for the big reveal. This was a better option.

@@HockeyTutorialOfficial they're both fine options. Maybe the tape could have possibly messed with the kick point / flexibility little bit right? The tape grip is different from the grip on the stick right? You could have used both options but for the sake of what you're doing and the reveal the tape is fine. Just saying adding anything to a stick could make some sort of difference not significant enough for the sake of the video. Easiest answer " yes that's another possible way"

Gotta agree, the warrior is only 410g in itself

@@HockeyTutorialOfficial if you can feel the difference in weight with just nob and blade tape then the entire stick being tapped is going to be a major difference in the feel. Interested to see another one with some minimal painting to cover the logos and see if there is a difference in reaction.

@@HockeyTutorialOfficial 68 grams is a lot when it comes to a sticks weight

We're working on another blind test as we speak! This was a lot of fun to film and edit.

Lots more coming !

Lobby 91 yea that’s what I was thinking

Barely added weight to the stick (roughly 68grams and this includes the tape normally on your stick blade and Buttend). Painting them isn’t a good idea. It ruins the stick, covers the grip coating (which means adding tape plus paint) paint comes off in your gloves and lots of other issues including multiple layers of paint required to totally hide branding and logos. It’s also difficult to find out how much weight you are adding with paint. With the tape, we could weigh it and remove the cover up at the end for the big reveal. This was a better option.

Nate Nakao they dont have low kick models

So many questions around PAMA. Working on the video.

Hockey Tutorial yes nice

My friend have PAMA stick. And acutally they are made in Finland right in my small town. That's my biggiest flex😂

You are awesome !

Hockey Tutorial omg thanks for the heart and your vids r awesome

Thank you for watching them :)

Hockey Tutorial thanks for making them:)

Thank you very much!

I ment keep

why don’t you just edit the comment

It's custom made by my cousin. he's a producer

@@HockeyTutorialOfficial There's no link to listen to it? Its an absolute tune

The link is in the video description.

“One was 75 the other one was 77”

Use your head

Loïc Hans Duskic if it was 177 flex Chara himself wouldn't be able to flex it, let alone these guys

Chitown 437 practice practice practice

Get some very expensive skates and rub honey on your toes before skating and put your skate laces upside down

Still the same surface area your covering, no matter how you do you tape it doesn't change the square footage your covering, use your brain lmao.

@@stpbasss3773 no because they overlap with standard tape jobs so likely using more tape that way.

Manufacturer

True

@@lynnlahm50 I said same thing. Youre correct too. I live the " how much weight the paint would be". Less than the tape. Tape may effect the flex and even change three grip n feel. Both ways have benefits but you're not wrong man

@@aaronmaxim thanks :)

RazR_Danny McDavid is the P28...

Lmao!!! Did you use that reference because we’re English ? (Kenyan English for me to be accurate)

Hockey Tutorial Im just a big fan of Harry Potter and I know you guys are English, Im a big fan of hockeytutorial nice work Guys

Big thank you!

I bet your milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard!

Not certain but it looked like it to me.

Joshua Halsell HPC has lied about the specs on their sticks and are NOT the same as “top tier elite level sticks” as they claim for half the price - i’ve actually caught them photoshopping their ads showing 18k carbon blades while when you go to purchase they actually are a less durable/heavier 3k/6k carbon weave and at the price you pay you are actually getting the same if not worse product than the big name retailers at that price point. It’s all marketing gimmicks - So far I believe there are only a few actual “small” brands that use the same specs as what you would get in a $300 stick - and the main thing to look for is 18k carbon (the big checkerboard squares you’ll see on such as Bauer sticks). As you go up in quality and durability of the carbon weave the squares get bigger. The cheapest sticks don’t even have a weave because they are mostly graphite/fiberglass blend, then you’ll get tiny square weaves with 3k, and then bigger and bigger and so forth with 6k, 8k, 12k, all the way up until 18k which is the highest ANY company has ever used. Nobody has ever gone higher than 18k. HPC is a fraud and a rip off for the quality at the price, and as of this so far I believe there are probably less than 5 companies that use 18k, two I know for sure absolute are Plainville Hockey out of Pennsylvania that make complete blank sticks with no graphics and the new No Name Hockey 2019 models have been shown to actually use top tier specs - everyone else (All Black, PAMA, Panther, etc) does not specify what kind of carbon and what quality they use (because they use inferior products on purpose but market them as better) and they do this for a reason. As of right now the Panther stick - Senior is $200. I can buy a Bauer Supreme 1S Senior for $170 and I guarantee the two sticks will not be the same and you’re getting ripped off by these “marketing gurus” trying to make money off the fact that you don’t understand how hockey stick manufacturing works.

one 75 and one 77 flex stick

Thank you Alex

Alex oh haha i’m sorry

Those sticks have different kick points so maybe not a good match up. Watch this video for more details - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KGrkB4jn8gg.html

Always!

All in the video description. Right now Panther is $199USD Alpha QX is $269 from Pure Hockey

Hockey Tutorial oh sorry Thanks for the info. 200$ ain’t that bad unfortunately these days

Aside from not being able to film the reveal at the end. There are multiple reasons we didn’t.

Explained why we didn’t do this 3-4 times below. Please read the comments if you want to know why we didn’t.

What’s warrior ?

F

Warrior describe their own stick as a low kick warriorhockey.com/2017/06/15/the-alpha-qx-stick-what-is-alpha/

Hockey Tutorial my bad. Here on this site it is described as a mid kick hockeysupremacy.com/fr/batons/senior/warrior-alpha-qx-baton.html But I think your source is right because it is right from warrior!

2.I ne in this one 77 flex and one 75 flex

I said "one was 77 and the other one 75"
