Drop this comment a LIKE if you've ever played with a wood hockey stick! I'm curious to see how many of you guys have actually tried it out 🤔
I played with one from mites to half way through my second year of squirts
Tired* it out😅
Why do you have a howies tape bag full of howies tape but you continue to use renfrew tape😂
@@benweisheyer2253 just trying to finish the roll! What am I gonna throw out perfectly good tape? 🤔
TDI Hockey still. At least keep it out of the shot. But that is a good point
I have 99% played games with a wood stick. I love the almost paper light weight of composite, but the "feel" in the wood in unparalleled.
Try pro carbon sticks
Grew up using wood sticks the Sherwood feather lites where the go to. Today’s sticks seem to explode and are way more fragile then the old school wood
Thank you so much because I have a KOHO wooden hockey stick and didn't know if I need a better one. Thanks for the info!!!
My first stick was wood
I tried to use one during practice when I played in College, gave up after 5 minutes, once you get used to having a good flex with a low kick point it’s so hard to shoot, passing was fine, handled decent, but it’s two different worlds. It’s so heavy compared to newer sticks today (I use a CCM Ultra Tacks. TDI I have a challenge for you! Try to get your hands on an old Northland hockey stick, one with NO CURVE, and see how you can do with that.
YESSSS FINALYY AN UPLOAD LUV YA TDI COULD SET UP A 1V1 WITH NASHER
OMG I had that same Koho stick when I was younger - beat up tape and everything. Bringing back some good memories
Hahahaha dude that cringe when he said stroke the shaft was so funny 😂
. I played back in the days. A light wood stick would last for 2 months not more. The blades fell apart and the fiberglass came out.
I play sometimes in a really rough rink that isn’t smoothly paved so I use wood stick for more time before needing a new one
I use like a 3 yr old Sherwood atm
Yep just broke it on a clapper 😬
Granted i am a goalie, but the first time i used a composite (had a wood core) stick it shattered on the first hard I faced, my wood sticks take the cake. Durable, i like the weight and i feel more in control of it rather than the composite stick i used. Wood all the way.
Yeah I guess a lot of goalies still use wood sticks eh? A much larger proportion to skaters anyway
surprisingly a ton of goalies are switching over, for the weight difference, saying its faster (it is). But i feel it has less control than a wood stick. I dont know goalies are a different breed than skaters.
Hey TDI, I saw you play your games at St. Mikes. Im a student there and I want to know when your games are so I can potentially watch one of them..big fan
I've always used wooden sticks, i tried a composite stick back in my late 20's and something about the flex seemed too take some power off of my shots so it was right back to wood.
Composites come in a variety of different flexes. Perhaps you needed a stiffer flex.
You can get composite stiffer than wood
You would probably sing a somewhat different tune with a proper, fresh 90s Sherwood 7000, Bauer 3030, Montreal 99, or even better a fresh 90s pro stock wood stick. The problem is modern wood sticks are made like trash and cost too much for what you get. They used to be like $25-28 for the top level... The answer is more yes they are more than usable if they were made properly, but right now they don't make much sense.
I use wooden sticks playing beer league. I'm a stay at home defenceman, so the extra weight of the stick makes it super easy to poke check or sweep the puck away.
That koho wood stick is the exact same stick I use. It's perfect.
glide through the shaft
i died laughing
Hey tdi, where did you get your Adidas hockey sweatshirt that you have on in this video? I've been looking for one but I can't seem to find any.
It's a custom hoodie that I got straight from adidas when I went to their HQ!
Isn't Koho a Finnish brand? If so PERKELE
Yep! they're from Finland, but I don't think they manufacture much player equipment anymore; it's mostly goalie stuff now
Huh, didn't know they are still a thing. I have 2 cut Koho sticks in my garage that I used when I was like 7
@@paulinieminen9083 eilen lämisin takapihalla kahdeksan puista, kellarissa ollutta kohoa rikki :D

Really enjoyed the video you’re a good entertainer
Thanks buddy!
i STILL USE A WOOD STICK AND I STARTED PLAYING HOCKEY WHEN I WAS 6
legend 👌
I got it for 30 dollars at Canadian tire
@@georgebrocklehurst8653 time to upgrade bro
No it is the best stick ever
If you're a stick-handler , you can't beat wood. It dampens out the puck. With the composite , the puck is unstable and nervous.
You should try to find a vintage Marcus Naslund wooden stick....(one of the last people to use a wood stick) and use it in a game/do a review of it
if I can get my hands on one I'd love to!
I tried a composite stick for the first ever. I stickhandled and shot for over an hour then went back to my wood stick and couldn't believe how heavy it was! I'm finally converted.
The difference is a wood stick takes better technique/mechanics, and stronger hands, wrists, forearms etc. to get off good shots, whereas pretty much anyone with decent athletic ability can wing a puck in the top of the net with composites.
Wow u have a really good slapper keep it up
I use to use a wood stick, I got a composite stick near thanksgiving. My wood and composite sticks are about the same length
I went there yesterday
Do you know where you got the adidas hockey hoodie, I'd really like one.
I got it direct from adidas, it's an exclusive item not sold in retail stores
@@TDIHockey oh, ok thanks!
It sounds so good
Have you ever tried the Bauer Supreme S180?
My first sticks were wooden sticks when i was like under 10
same
Yep. Then the nike with a couple of blades.
Same it was a white one I can’t remember what it was called
Get that top hand farther away from your body. You can generate more leverage and more pull from the top and in conjunction with a nice wrist roll will create a faster release and more power. Great vid tho!
you should start using the wood twig for training and drills and use the composite for games that way it builds up muscle in the arms and shoulders so you're beast in game
atomictacos YT that’s really smart 👏
I may just start doing this 🤔
its what I do for training at goalie except I add weight to my trapper so I can get my glove up faster
I still play with a wood hockey stick. The downside to wood is it's heavier and breaks easier. I may be doing something wrong, but I've broken a few without doing anything. I think the transition from cold to warm caused it to split, but don't know for sure.
Most modern wood sticks use an aspen core sandwiched by harder woods to meke them lighter. It makes them too weak in my opinion. Sherwood is the only decent wood stick left.
Find 2 other players, one that uses the wood stick and the other with there composit stick. First let them us there own stick, then have them switch. That would make the test more fun and give you better feedback, many even prove your point.
My first wood sticks were KOHO's wood sticks I love the Lemieux and Jagar sticks
MAYBE EVEN ADD KVG AND PAVEL BARBER
It all comes down to what you prefer for example I play hockey and I prefer a wood stick like you have and you prefer a Kompass stick
you and I would play in a similar league and realistically feel is generally the reason we a composite stick. a lack of genuine talent has more significant effect on not having scoring prowess.
the lie and the height of the wood stick is what's effecting your ability to use it. I think the lie of the stick is so critical to the efficiency of your stick and matching your play style. In the puck handling drill, you keep losing the puck on the heel of the wood stick because the lie is too low. I play with a wood stick, I always have, because I like the softness of the blade and the low flex. I also like the weight because it absorbs a lot of passes nicely. But I still think the lie and flex are more important than material.
wood sticks make the best sounds though
"no name hockey stick with my name on it"
talk about the irony
Anyone else crack up with the way TDI pronounces “composite” haha love the vids TDI keep doing your thing!
oood video when I played we used Wood NORTHLAND and CCM would shoot for 45 minutes I guess thats why my forarms are like a lumber jacks
Nothing compares to the puck feel of a wooden stick, except maybe a True or a Sher-Wood
Where'd you get that Adidas Hockey hoodie?
Nice hat!
Never mind, thought it was a pavel barber hat😒
The black tape in the background is casually not Howe’s it’s renfrew lol
I mean you can use any stick really if you had to. One of the teams I played for had like a 10 pound metal stick for fast hands back from like 2008, and guys would take it out during games and use it to hack people instead of just fighting during the last 5 minutes so they wouldn’t get suspended. Hasn’t been used like that for years but just goes to show you.
Still use Sherwood Featherlite, growing up I used Christian Superlite
I like the old fashioned wood sticks and I’m not a big guy. But that’s just me
yeah it's definitely up to your own personal preference. I'm a smaller guy as well and ever since I made the switch to composite I can't see myself going back
You said that you have all the tape things from Howies but then there's a review tape roll in the back.
Not a hater
Sherwood featherlite for life.
i’m in bantam and i still use one it is hard to shoot with if you normally use a composite but once you get used to it it can be really good and.i like the feel of a wooden stick with stick handling and i haven’t been able to get that feel with a composite.i think i can get away with using a wood stick because i’m in bantam so i’m not sure if i will be able to use one in the higher levels of hockey
typical_ Beast what tier are you in for hockey
And what team
H I Tier 4
H I what do you mean by what team. like what city~town
typical_ Beast yeah
What flex do you use?
You should do a metal stick challenge
Is that even a thing
Metal stick? 🤔 you got a link?
@@TDIHockey I don't but hockey pro 21 might
@@silversword4849 yes... they came just before the composite sticks did, they were made of aluminum. They were two piece sticks, wood blade with aluminum shaft.
Sofa King love my easton up here in canada, america made stick whatta beauty
I wish you had more subs your awesome 👏
Edit you are the first ever TH-camr who hearted my comment thx
We're getting there 👍
🤞 I know right
Nonames factory is in my hometown!!!
That stick is not to short for you and you should be able to stick handle better with a shorter stick anyway.
Is adidas going to release that sick hoodie any time soon?
im still crazy but I still use an old stick .My wrist shot is god damn strong .Now stick are god damn light .to easy to handle now .
With a reebok per example my stick handling is god damn good now .I use to do 1000 shot night with an old stick
i have a wood stick and it sucks i wish i could get a good stick but my fam cant aford it
Think of all the guys that cleaned those drills, faster than you, with a twig. Does a composite stick really make you better? No. It makes it easier. It makes you weaker.
Are those noname gloves you’re wearing, too?
Yessir!
I didn’t know they produced those!
I prefer it sometimes ima d though idk if that changes anything
I really like wood sticks
@TDI I use a Grafite stick with a wooden blade!
YES, I need to get my hands on an old two-piece stick. an Easton Synergy would be my dream stick
I use what ever I can for stick lol
Gretzky used wood. I use wood. :)
I still use a wood stick today, because I don't have the money for a composite one
Question for you why use wax?
I'm a goalie and hate composite goalie sticks. They have no feel, they almost vibrate on a stick save, they break way too easy and too much flex to pass and shoot.
I do like to slash a forwards stick a couple inches above the blade because I can break your compo- twig every time I feel you are too close yo my crease.
i agree with with most of what you said, but as a goalie who loves to get out and play the puck (and is pretty good at it too) i love the flex of a comp. stick when i need to sauce a puck to a teammate.
@garbage person
Why? Did I break your stick when you were using the toe of your skate to kick my heel when your d man is winding up for a blast?
@garbage person
LOL. Cheers girl!
I still use wooden sticks haha
Am i the only one that knows why he did that face when he said shaft
Yes
Anyone in the NHL still use a wood stick? I saw a picture of EIchel once and I could of sworn he had a wood stick but in all other I've seen it looks composite.
I like a wooden stick better, a wooden stick is all I use
😂 I’m tired
He didn't do the toes drag on the last one
P.S. Im 47 and I ve always played hockey but now I play with the old mens ligue.....no need to put $$$ when the game is so slow....lol
The first company to use grip on wood sticks was Bauer it was called stick um.
It’s okay for the goalie sticks, but not sure about normal
3:25 that what she said
Whatkonda stick comp isssss ittte sticks ? Lol
You actually use the same amount of energy when using the same stick.
no sure why in your shooting drill you did the pointless stick handling but your shot was better with the woody
Last time I used a wood hockey stick I was 3
so you are very young
A nice new SW-5030 still feels great but after a few games it gets a little water logged becomes tough. There's still nothing quite like the feeling of holding a murdered tree for sniping entertainment MERRRRICA.
There's a solution to this... don't use the same stick back to back, rotate them so they have a chance to breathe. At $40 a pop you can buy three of them for the price of a composite stick and rotate them as frequently as you feel you need to. If I had two games in the same day I would rotate out if it started feeling spongy. A day in the garage or by the heater and it's good to go. Also... if you alter the curve (torch and vice) you will weaken the fiberglass outer layer if you get it too hot, this allows the moisture into the blade.
I still use Sherwood featherlites to this day and will continue to as long as they continue to make them. Kids laugh about it when they see it but they don't know why they can't stop my poke checks. The heavier sticks eat composite sticks alive in poke checks. And... you can always get frustrated and snap their composite stick in half with a quick slash from the wood stick.
@@sofaking2369 towards the end of me using them I sanded them a little and used water seal. Worled really really well. But after awhile the wood just starts to soften up. The one thing a comp will never ever get right is that crisp low level vibration and feel of catching a pass or firing of a nice snap shot with wood.
i use a sherwood 5030 stick
0:50 try’s to get sponsorship
We're already partnered, that's why I have my own discount code
I use a wooden stick in my league and I lead the league in goals
Compassite stick
You were much better and had better tecnique with the wooden stick :D
Wood stick all the way
What kind of a rink is that. Dont seem to be wide. Keep the woody for the street....
It's a half-ish size rink. 100ft by 70ft
i like to use a wood hockey stick
How can you compare a stick you've used for street hockey for 10+ years to a new composite? At least use a new wood stick.
I wanted to see how much stick technology has evolved since I last used a wood stick
Yes obviously
who else was here wondering the legality, not the viability, of a wood stick in the NHL?
I am still using wood stick
