U.K. update. USE POSTER PAINT, not acrylic. USE CLEAR SILICONE, not white silicone. I made a mess last night, it didn’t cure after a day. I then tested a batch of clear silicone with poster paint, set nicely after 20mins.

hey i just got some najades and i feel a lot of discomfort on my left foot around the big toe, any tips?

Those fins look a little bit like the old Mares ALA fins

Found this really useful , thanks Liam . A lot of tings i hadn't thought about

Very Natural ;)

Loving these videos. Your a real expert

Thanks for the instructions! Did you modify the back strap of the fin? Looks like there's an extra black strip on top of it. Is that to make it stronger or modify the size of the opening?

Cool video, just realized that I watched the whole thing in 4k HD!

have you tried mixing cornflour with silicone? it creates a putty like material which is mouldable

World record number of "ums" in a video lol! Was in an "um" mood today

I want to talk with you Coach

Great tutorial.

Thanks, Liam. I've had a 16 year hiatus, but now back in Dunedin. So, bacl to school. Thanks for sharing

Very helpful video thank you. Would highly recommend to anyone else whose feet require their own post code.

Best advice I have ever had

When I tried doing the "flat pass" today, sometimes the puck lifts and goes over my stick, the puck doesn't really move forwards, just upwards, do you know why that happens and what I am doing wrong? is that because of the spin as well?

hello Can you give advice on how to put the bifin on which side is up? because my son Wear it and it hurts a lot If there is a photo of wearing it would be great. Best regrads Sawet from Thailand

Hi, thanx for sharing your experience about these fins:) I play uw-rugby and have until now used mares fins, which I fell is eating up a lot of power... I'm about to buy Some Najade fins and was looking at the UW or the iron but I can understand that you recommend the Sprint ones, what about those called "speed"?

Thanks a lot! I've been wondering how it's done for ages

Nice video brother, you should do a hook shot tutorial. It does not give me. Greetings from Colombia🙉

long times ago, very nice

The great quote is at 30:05

Any chance you have any NZ footage from 2004? The NZ vs FRA game is uploaded and its one of my favorites, saw it more times than I dare to admit it

Great story an helpfull tips!, "(note, there is always that puck obsessed player who cannot seem to let this happen easily so be prepared to physically restrain them from tackling the new player)" yes we also have those kind of people :-)

That’s great see a Liam. Happen to have 93, 95, 96 or 97 on that old PC?

this was fascinating!

Love it ! another one please :)

so nice, liam

Make a podcast Liam! I bet you have crazy uwh adventures to share haha

I’m into it, but Lima needs to be onscreen too 🤙

This was great! I'd love to see more

Will they be good for bodyboarding?

The sticks that you sell are from 3d printer or solid plastic?

This is so helpful!

Excellent video Liam, thanks for your time and sharing your knowledge! Can you make a video on top hockey drills/skills to do at home? Especially with most pools being closed right now for people.

Thanks Liam, great video. Keep them coming..

Hey there, I'm a forward and I've been playing for a few months, I'm thinking of getting wombat but not sure coz my coach says katana fits forward better due to its slimmer blade so it's good for steals and quick hand moves. However i feel the katana is a bit hard to control, it slides of easily when curling and the passing is short (maybe my technique is wrong). I feel that the wombat gives very good pass and it's also easier to control for curling due to the larger hook. What do you suggest? Should i get the katana and get better at puck controls, or just get the wombat instead?

Very good Coach

Hey! Thanks for the video, I really appreciate it! :) I forgot to say that we play 2-3-1 (both club and national level) the last couple of years based on what Andre Heller thought us when we played with him in a mix team in France :) I'm guessing its the mutated/coarse grained version of some NZ 2-3-1, because we filled the gaps in strategy and tactics ourselves :D "Forwards in pair" question: nice analogy. I expected the same, but feared that there are some magic rules :) "Corner" q.: my question what should the C position. In our trainings the space around the 'C' mark gets attacked a lot and sometimes the center who occupies it runs out of air. "Center/switch" q: so whatever works well for the team. "How deep to plan" q: yeah, I meant the top-top level teams, which you were part of. I'll try to be more precise next time I asking :) A lot of things seem to situational, where a player has to make a decision based on player position/how tired people are/etc.. What would you say is the best way to improve this kind of "game IQ"? Analyze games together? Do many few vs few situations? Just simply play a lot? Or each to their own and no magic solution? Cheers, Máté

Hey Liam, thanks for the content! Just throwing in some questions to have a discussion, feel free to ignore the stupid ones. You say multiple times that "forwards work together". Couple of question to this: - Does this mean, that they should sync their bottom time almost always or just when receiving a puck? - 6:39 we see the two forwards on the wall. Assuming we are stuck there a little bit without a chance to switch off should they go up/down together or start to rotate with each other? 8:48 Assuming the puck is in the corner all three positions marked with the left W, C and G need to occupied at all times. How does the rotation works here if the puck is there for on extended time? I can see that W-G-W can always manage to have at least 2 men on the back wall, but who should cover the Center if he is up for air? What kind of playstyle would you expect from your center in the usual NZ 2-3-1? Should the center generally be part of a whole pool wide switch? We used to involve the center in the most of the switches a couple of years ago, but nowadays (especially if its a deeper switch) as our center I usually just stay in the pocket a little bit ahead of the puck facing our own goal. Who should initiate a switch in an ideal case? How much freedom would you say the players have? We played around with "C/G decides the directions, everyone else follows", but that might limit the teams game a bit (although makes it more predictable for your team I guess?) Can you give us a general idea on how deep do you guys plan with strategy/tactics? I'm struggling here a bit. One can plan rotations, what we do during adv. puck or where to aim when we are in a given part of the playing field. But can you reliably plan more? Like for example always having a trigger on when to switch off the wall (for example "always in the second phase of the strong side wing") or "2 whole width switch then break into the middle with the third one" or anything similar. We generally fail to execute anything but the simplest things and with not bad players. I have a feeling that its just really hard to do these things in our sport, but its might just be not enough faith/practice...

Good

Watson Thanks a lot coach I’m very happy to learn with you.

What was that
