My Dad taught me to put a strip of tape on the bottom of the blade then start taping. Saved alot moisture on the bottom, hence the the stick lasted longer. Thanks Dad
This is on point! Ive also been taping my sticks like this for years only I do 10 laps for the knob ring and then just griptape over it. No endplug and tuck the excess inside the stick.
Dude! I miss your shooting vids so much! Your snapper is greasy as hell man please start uploading again I forgot you existed until I saw your comment!
@@ExoticDva Are you kidding me? Crosby doesn't even have the ability to put art into his puckmarks like Ovie does. I mean just watch Crosby mark up his tape blade. Like watching a preschooler try to sculpt a statue. Like has Crosby ever even played hockey before?
god i love the attention to detail. my wife thinks i am an absolute lunatic because i retape my blade after every game and it takes me forever and ill re-do it completely if its not perfect.
You are a lunatic. I only retape when it starts to get ratty. No need to obsess over it. Additionally, I don't give a rip how Ovi tapes his Stick, i tape mine the way i like. It's that simple!
To get the tape all nicely pushed down and so it just isnt so bright. No real reason otherwise . Its like a painter that gets new coveralls for work, they cover them in paint often cause they dont like new looking coveralls lol .
hockey blade abrasive grip tapes are illegal to use in sanctioned games cause the deterioration to the puck causes it to roll, non-abrasive tapes like cats tongue are amazing. They even sell fitted protector kits and even some with webbing or bumps on it. I always used the waterproof tapes, they seemed to last the longest for blade protection.
did he use a non red grip tape in is first year, like, when he wore the eagle uniform? i will have to look at what he does with the eagle uniform these days. apparently chara used red grip tape while on the bruins
The problem with taping from heel to toe is that every time you shoot, the puck moves towards the toe and curls up each tape section after a while. Toe to heel is the way to go.
Ultimately, I don't think it matters that much but I switched from TTH to HTT because I noticed the tape freying less at the bottom since it's with the grain when skating forward, and I figure going against the grain on shots/passes might make for a little more grip for puck spin. I think it also makes trimming the toe easier.
As a heel-to-toe taper, I make a point of making each time around really tight and running a puck along it from heel to toe several times on front and back to make sure it's smooth. Not sure if it's as effective for those who favor white tape on their blade, but it works fine for me with black tape.
If you always tape your stick like someone else or use a stick etc. Like someone else nobody will ever use or tape a stick like yours. Find what works for you because you are not someone else!
Lmao definitely need a disclaimer, no matter how close your tape job matches, in fact even if Ovie taped your stick, WILL NOT increase your scoring. Better heading would have been Modern Day Tape Job no matter how nice your scissor work is.
Nobody thinks this increases scoring. He has particular mechanics that he customizes his taping to. But also, as he stated, it’s more about personal expression.
big big poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
For pretty much any player, when playing on ice your blade is constantly getting wet from melted ice. Blades are coated with a high grade polymer for strength and longevity so they're basically super smooth and also non abrasive so not to scuff the puck up. Cause chewed rubber tends to start to wobble and roll end over end. Tape on the stick basically provides a better traction point then a naturally smooth wet blade. Oh and for us novices/non-pros blade replacements are too dayum expensive to continually replace so tape is a for sure must.
wait... isn't using no end knob dangerous or something? I guess they don't care in the show since guys are too good to poke someone.with the rear end lol. I guess one could just put that thing back in after tucking the tape inside the shaft
Your exactly right, very rarely is the butt end of a stick used and it's actually illegal to use it in games but most players choose not to use a plastic butt end protector cause of the weight difference. Taped ends are much lighter.
What a fan boy
He sells sticks. The whole point of the vid is to promote his website selling pro stock stocks with custom curves.
He makes sticks. Of course he’s going to be a fanboy.
You make it seem like it’s a bad thing
It’s really not that weird to be very into pro stock stuff. I find it very interesting!

I always use the puck to mark before I trim the toe. Makes the tape stick better before you cut.

i love this account. what yall are doing is so smart
Scissors ✂️? I’ve been biting the tape off the toe this whole time
Thanks for the tip 😂

This will make me a better hockey player. Thank you.
Bro the cup is yours man you taped your stick just like obiwan
Great tutorial.
Ovi his curv is sick
Whens the 55-65 flex sticks coming? would love those in a laine and ovi curve with the massive whip

@@kendrumusic5554 LMFAO
You would sent out of the game for using those
What kind of tapes you're using in this video?

Dallas Biggz I don’t give a rip how he tapes his stick either
Marc savard knows what he’s talking about check him out played in the nhl and he does many different players sticks!
Whats the point of the puck marks? And why pop out the end knob just to remake one?
I'm a game worn hockey collector. Beauty couple twigs there sir
What is the point of the puck marks ? Thanks
kinda hard for me... im a goalie so i got a goalie stick lol *still tapes the goalie stick like ovi*
That’s dedication I’m proud.
@@ExoticDva lol thx
Is there a reason to put pick marks on your stick? Does it help grip
helps lessen the grip, helps.with sogginess and also helps to make the tape thinner
does anyone talk about the stick 'lie' ... the angle it makes with the ice ?? i used a lie 5 right hand ccm rocker hook (wood) ..
Where do I get an ovie 65-70flex???
I have some coming in left and right on Dec 11
What stick does he have
We add the puck marks? Im genuinely curious
To get the tape all nicely pushed down and so it just isnt so bright. No real reason otherwise . Its like a painter that gets new coveralls for work, they cover them in paint often cause they dont like new looking coveralls lol .
What type of trigger does Ovi use
glaaaaazing ovi😭😭😭😭
What brand of grip tape is that?
700th sub
Very happy
What happened to those black old school tapes? It was like sandpaper with grip on it something sticky like.

I always noticed this as a kid, but my solution was just to wax the fuck out of the blade. Probably why I never scored haha.
I tried it at the bodom and lucks good
how much do u what for the ovie hockey stick i will pay for it but how much
How is your day going man
Горжусь им:)
so why do you need to tape a synthetic stick ?? why don't they just create a surface that behaves like tape ??
“Artist” 😂😂
hey thats patty kanes tape job

Heel to toe
Like the presentatiion but please work on limiting your uptalk.
There is no right way ... 8 could score with loose tape and no stick
Лол это ж лейкопластырь 😂 почему так смешно
You sound like goldenoreo85
just tape the damm' stick.,,no magic bullets. Orr, Howe etc didn't OCD about taping sticks..just slap it on there and get er' dun.
Mcdavids tape is falling off half the time and doesn’t even bother retaping it. Loln
Is this satire?
Hockey players do this everygame??? Geez that's a lot of repetition
Toe to heel is the true way to go
Wtf was i watching
This looks like a standard tape job… did this make you play like Ove too? GTFO. Amazing what people waste their time on studying and recreating.
The curve sucks
Sir I played hockey your taping skill is good are u gift me this hockey stick right handed

I'm always amazed that Americans can't speak English. That's not a thick white tape. It's wide white tape.
Thanks professor, I'm Canadian
who even are you
why do you even care
Is this Ovechkins pet? Lol Gretzky is better. Just saying brah lol

Yea to be honest this is why I hate Alex ovechekin 🤮🤮🤮
