Hi everyone,

Nosiness has got the better of me, and I have been wondering what sort of sticks people use - I am hearing more and more now days that goalies are leaning towards playing with outfield sticks, so I thought I would poll it.

Please let me know if I have missed anything..

ps - I tried looking, but I couldn't find anything!

I use the fatboy but would be happy with any stick given to me

[philthy]

mercian znake for me... it's not there


We've definitely discussed this before but not sure there's actually been a poll

currently a WASP z-10

I and a few others here use the TK Keepa composite, can you add to the poll please?

I'm very tempted to try an outfield or indoor stick but I've not found one that suits. I want it to be light, stiff and balanced evenly where I hold (at the bottom of the grip/tape).

All added!

I'm a fatboy atm but have been kind of tempted recently to give an outfield stick a go. They would be quite strong but i think the balance in the Fatboy is probably better for a keeper.
And it hasn't let me down yet!
If it Aint Broke Don't fix it i guess

i use a malik orange when playing outdoor, and a gryphon zenith when i play indoor. i used to use both the gx4000 and the fatboy, but i had issues with the both

Grays Gx 4000, smothered in glitter. Can still hit it pretty hard and it has very little weight to it. Not a fan of sticks with uneven weight distribution as it throws my balance and sense of where the stick is off.

Guess with so many things its what you are used to playing with.

Grays GX5000 for me.

OBO skinny, came with my kit i think it is approaching the end of its life as it has a crack forming in the head. Good balance though

i use a tk keepa mostly. but sometimes i like to use my old wood stick (stx wave) because its lighter.

[hot shot viks]

can you add rage sphynx please

if not, can you add "other" to the poll please!

cheers

[Folmer]

Old Wasp 34" Z8 which I've now had for 10 years or so...  Was looking to replace it with a WASP Z10 but now I've pretty much retired from 'keeping, except for the odd guest appearance, I'm sure my Z8 will see me out!
