i use the brine ones that are really small caps and put tape on it. I like more b/c i hate having huge buttends and the brine one gives such a good feel

I make a big one out of tape. I only do it on my game stick though because it uses a lot of tape.

I use tape or a covered up bottlecap. If I use a buttend, I will only use the warrior ones because the brine and stx ones are too thick and I dont like them.

I use whatever comes on the shaft. Would someone take a picture of their taped butt ends?

Tape buttends and the tape goes up the shaft about 1 inch.

I use a brine one and wrap a little tape on to keep it on the shaft. I Prefer the warrior ones because they are more durable and a little bigger.

I only use tape because with rubber buttends they fall off. Even if you put tape on them they will eventually fall off. Tape never falls off.

split th tape in half for the buttend and wrap nice and thick then have tape going up the shaft about 10-12inches for my shooting hand positions.i usehockey tape for the buttend and electrical tape for the wraping up the shaft.

Those are the only rubber buttends I use cause they're smaller than most, but I only use that on my defense stick. All my other sticks have taped ends. I've just never liked the feeling of gripping a rubber buttend while playing.

same. i rip the tape in half the long ways, and then just roll it up to about a quarter inch out from the shaft, then tape over the bottom, and tape about an inch and half up the shaft. thats pretty much it tapewise for me. usually i dont have anything else, but recently i put one piece of tape about 8 inches up the shaft from the end, just for shooting, and it seems to be working pretty good for me.

Always tape, sometimes on warrior ones I will tape over the rubber thing, but mostly just tape

I use both. I made a couple tape ones just to check it out. I don't have a preference for one over the other. I have yet to throw a stick, but then, I don't shoot very hard.... :agree:

You mean a Power Play? I got one somewhere. I forget what stringing. I still have a lot of unpacking to do, but I think I know where it is (patter of sock feet)... NOPE. Not in the box I thought it was in.

I also have a sweet Brine MD, can't find THEM anymore. Stiffest, hardest head ever made. Won't let it go cheap, though. It's green. Not painted. Green plastic. Hard mesh. :devil:

I don't think there's anybody strong enough to pinch that head!

I just tape mine, but leave the bottom exposed....even those this is "illegal."

I had my stick checked probably 10-15 times last season, passed every time soooo yeah.

I roll with a bottle cap setup. But since I'm a goalie, I think i can get away with it :agree: Ive never even seen a goalie get stick checked before, let along get their stick confiscated...

i have the brine tight butt. the best thing youll ever use, u can yank on it as hard u can and it wont come off. no more taping or looking around the field for your buttend.

the thing about the tight but is that it adds a lil weight to the bottom, and when i tried to pull it out of my krypto it kinda broke...

i use the warrior one because they are the softest and most comftarble, but don't last very long.
