Personally anything other than obo is horrendous, especially kickers and leg guards, I found I have greater control and protection as well as maneuverability especially when single stacking it allows you to glide rather than stick to the surface, at my club we have all different kits and the keepers using obo show better skills as its more compliant than makes like to and mercian leg guards and kickers mainly
I agree, but groing guards dont really change, neither does neck guards tbh, i actually use a full baseball helmet as a helmet and it works just as fine but offers more inner chin padding.
I played with a full body protection and I took the arm protection off because I always felt my arms were restricted in movement. Now I play with the chest protection. Yes it hurts getting hit on the arms but it's worth it to have better motion
Jed Mclelland Drum Covers it's now mandatory across all levels as a direct hit to the neck is a incredibly bad injury and neck guards weren't often worn as they were deemed uncomfortable and pointless. I recommend the obo robo neck guard if you don't have one as it's the most comfortable without going for a dangler guard
GoalieGussy no it's not, I'm Dutch, played in the top division there. Play in the Spanish top division now, no FIH rule states the neck guard is mandatory
why tf use an indoor stick i broke that shit every year when i played inside and those were only pushes if someone hits a good shot it can easily break that stick, not smart, just use an outdoor stick
ok was just wondering as im a junior keeper and my dad was wondering whether to get me a goalie stick for xmas or to stick to an outfield one, just wondering opinions
Emma Chester its very much a personal preferance thing. I tend to spend a lot of time on the floor and ive got a bad habit for agressivly swiping at the ball so i break sticks a lot.... find a friend with a goalie stick and ask to borrow it for a match.
Idk but at my club they said at refereecourse that a neckguard is mandatory. You can get hit in your neck and without guard you get unconcious or something
TK is good OBO too i am a goalie in JC1 i have OBO O never tried TK but protection is pretty good i think, i see A LOT of goalies at high level having TK so i think its not that bad
