SHOULD YOU USE HOCKEY STICK WAX? 

Like if hockey is the best sport

Use Howie's wax like if you agree . One 👍means you love hockey.

I started using wax recently and it's a game changer... first time using it had 4 goals 4 assists.

Like if hockey is better than soccer

run a puck over the wax to heat it up with friction so the wax melts into the tape a bit

do the same type of thing but with how deep skate sharpenings are

As a goalie, I like to apply a generous layer of wax on my blade. Really helps keep the tape dry and and prevent snow from accumulating and I find that rebounds come off a bit softer and a better feel when playing the puck.

OMG guys watch until the end to see the cutest thing ever!!! Its s'cuteeeeee 😍

Fresh tape on the same stick for every test would’ve been better.

Kinda just been following you off and on, but dude, it's so good to see you back on the ice! Love your work!

I am the same as you. I've played hockey for 25 years now and rarely do i use wax. I think i will give it a try now after this video. Thanks a lot !

I LOVE THESE TYPE OF VIDEOS NASHER! can you do road to a shutout if not that's ok.

Nasher is the best!!! Your videos are fun to watch and pretty funny! Thanks for supporting the best game in the world!👍👍

Use Howie’s hockey wax I use it and its amazing!!!! That is the best wax

Did he just say vapor qr edge? 0:38

Is it trash : play hockey without tape

- Trying to show snow and wax buildup on white tape. - Uses 3 different sticks with varying kick points to test performance of wax. You have no idea if you just perform better with the 1X versus the QR Edge... Obviously didn't try very hard for this "test".

I believe this video missed the mark. I use stick wax, to protect my tape from snow, debris, and moisture. A single stick handle drill will not show the true comparison between no wax, some wax, and a lot of wax. I do not use wax for any "stickiness" factor. I use wax for consistency. I believe that a waxed stick will perform far more consistently in period 1 and period 3 compared to a non waxed stick.

LOVE your vids. Do a Hockey trick shot vid

I use a puck instead of wax

This is such a good video like this is incredibly useful info

Loves these vids at the new facility

Yo ur so great I love your vids

Very nice video, I’ll try some tomorrow!

Could you do a tutorial on the motion that you do when you shoot the pucks?

Let's go 200k here we go

What tape do you use? I noticed the tape job looks beat up but it’s not really ripped at all. I use renfrew and usually after one skate the tape will rip along the bottom of the blade even if I use wax/scrape it with a puck

Literally 3 days ago I practiced without wax and was wondering the exact same thing.

Hey Nasher ... I put the wax on my sons stick, and then I lightly heat it so that it melts alittle into the tape. this prevents the tape from get wet. If the tape doesn't get wet ice will not build up on the stick. Something you can try.

Great vid 💪🏻

00:38 "Vapor QREdge" -Nasher 2018

Hey can you review Spectre Tape? Its a new product from Slovakia and it has been already used in NHL.

The was I use is puck face wax and I find it keeps the tape from ripping at the bottom and I like the tacky feeling but I think it’s all personal preference

Yes I need this video

Great video, however the only things about the experiment I would change is mainly: Fresh tape on all sticks and use the same stick to avoid change. I know that's not necessarily easy to do so good test. I also might switch up the order throughout tests to make sure the heavy wax isn't always getting the worse ice.

Love your channel

Anyone hear him say vapour qr edge instend of warrior qr edge

0:28 😂😂Can we all as hockey players take a moment to admire the fact that he balanced all three sticks on the ice like that? (ITS ANNOYING FOR HOCKEY PLAYERS WHEN IT FALLS)

Nasher you the best

you should do a full how to snap/wrist shot!

I love using the wax. By chance, do you ever go over towards Dayton/Springfield to play?

Do a cheap stick vs a mid range stick vs an expensive stick

does the way you tape the knob of your stick change the grip

I love wax howies smells good and performs well it helps me just stick handle better

U said vapor QR edge it’s warrior

U should have a meet up some times I love your videos so much and I wanna meet up

Great video!

Roller got you digging that heel in the ice haha

with snowboards and skis wax makes them more slippery, so the wax should make the stick glide better on the ice, plus it grips the puck better. I'm gonna try some wax next time.

You should do more roller hockey trickshots

You are the best youtuber for ever

Nasher you are the best

The wax helps protect your tape and stick.. I always heat the wax after I put it on with a hair dryer to really set the wax into the tape

Can you tell me whats the center you at ?! Its some sort of small rink...

Should have tested with a fresh TJ on three of the same sticks. You will have more variation with the stick types than any difference from the wax.

Ooooh! Best and nicest zamboni ever!😍😂

You shuld try using different NHL players TJ's like Pasta and Benn for example

Can you test the new Bauer Nexus ADV please

Can you try the wraparound

I used wax threw out my years since I was like 8. It helped me out big time . I recommend it but get a good wax . Some wax I find isn’t very good and actually makes you worse . So a good trustful wax and you should be good . I remember one game I forgot my wax at home but had a candle in my bag for what ever reason , probably for the pond stick . Wasn’t waisting good wax for the pond . And used a candle to wax my stick . Actually worked hahahaha

One time I put so much wax on that you could see where the wax was on the tape in light and it kept some puck marks off the tape

I have a question, HOW DO YOU HIT BAR DOWN EVERY SHOT. Please make a tutorial on how to control you aim better.

It would be awesome if you did a video with Cam at the battery

What line did you play in high school or were you defense

Yes

I think using wax is a question of personal preference. I personally use it myself, I put 3 passes on each side of the blade and once at the bottom.

could stick wax work for ringette sticks cuz i play ringette

Does grip tape work for the knob?

Nice shots

I put stick wax on really heavy even more than u used but I think Howie's works the best

Anybody melt your wax into your tape with a lighter or warming house heater?

how long of a stick do you use? nose height, chin or mouth?

I live in Columbus and am in a 3v3 tournament at the battery

Wich curve you use

anyone know the background song?

What stick do you use

I heard from Patty Kane and he said that rubbing worn out ice hockey pucks on ur toe really helps

Nasher I wish I could meet you

Well...I always used wax for the only reason to keep the melted ice from ruining the tape... With no wax the tape gets "water logged" it get heavy and the tape does not last as long and traction to the puck gets worse with wet tape... In the old days I used "friction tape" that has pitch tar in it and that stuff had good traction and was water-proof... Today's tapes are not the same... So the secret to make the tape last long is wax the tape the hold the blade over heat....torch, heat-gun or kitchen stove...this way you get the wax to warm up and it melts into the tape and basically impregnates the tape... If your looking to "cheat" with picking up the puck with the help of wax...then you buy the special surf wax specifically for cold water, since it stays sticky at lower temperatures.... The real secret sauce to use for wax is Deodorant stick...I found this technique when I forgot my wax and found a stick of MENNEN Deodorant in my shower bag...this works real well and the smell will distract your opponent in a face off ...LOL

I Only use wax on the bottom of the blade, imo it helps the tape last a bit longer. I see guys go way overboard with it Try taping your blade with the tape reversed (sticky side out) pretty fun for awhile.!

what if you sprayed never wet on the tape 🤔

I love ur vids

Nasher, at 40 seconds in you called the covert a vapor qre.

do you like light wax on you're stick or heavy

I use wax on my Stick (Bauer Nexus 3N composite Stick) and it's effective.

Stick wax was made so the snow wouldn’t stick to your stick

What curve is the Vapor?

It works

Are u at a 3s rink

Yo nasher61 you should use howies wax I tested other ones but howies is the best

Looked like your stick handling with the most wax stick was affected some, like the puck was sticking to the wax to much making the puck flip around.

I love hockey and I'm goalie for my next game plus your the best hockey player I know better then Sidney Crosby

Whether you should use wax or not depends mostly on the ice surface you will be playing on. Colder ice doesn't stick to your blade at all.

is Griptape actually usefull?

Do a difference between using a puck vs wax vs none at all

Good choice

Why does the wax have lines in it and why do you buy white wax?

hockey hockey hockey hockey hockey hockey hockey hockey is every answer Nasher responds to.

Having the same stick would help its not what kind and how much wax you like it’s the stick wax doesn’t change your game

Nice vid
