yea.. u know hockey players take slapshot and there sick bends ... its like that

[m2daRizzle]

yeah, its normal. Its more of a flex than a bend, it goes back in place unless you make that check over and over or you hit somebody extremely hard. All shafts fles to some degree, especially long poles.

[spenny]

its not bent, its flexing from the lift check that o'neil is putting on the penn state player.

dont get me wrong, they will bend if abused too much.

edit: look at the PSU players upper hand, it looks like the check is working

[portlandlax13]

as saide before its just flex but those JHU gloves are almost the sexyist things i have ever seen

[Sir Mackel]

Without flex the shaft would be more likely to bend and break.

BTW what gloves is that PSU player wearing?

[portlandlax13]

i think the PSU guy has g forces
someone correct me if i am wrong

[m2daRizzle]

yup, g-force gloves.

thats so weird looking (p.s. the defender doesnt have his mouth guard all the way in, naughty naughty defender)

[HeadHeartHustle]
