What hockey shaft and blade for roller hockey on concrete?

I need a good stick for at practice. We practice outside on a concrete rink. I play defense man and got a drury blade 85 flex for sport court. I like to take a lot of slapshots and some wrist shots. Thank you!

I don%26#039;t think the Drury blade comes in an ABS blade material, which is ideal for concrete asphalt. A composite blade might wear too quickly on that surface, so it may be best to go with wood. The Easton pro wood blade should be available in the Drury pattern and goes for about $15, so it%26#039;s reasonably manageable.





As for a shaft, any will do, really. The puck or ball you%26#039;re using won%26#039;t be too heavy, so you can%26#039;t really load a stick too well regardless of flex. A straight 100 flex or 85 flex shaft should do the trick. Just search out the best deal on a mid-high end shaft and don%26#039;t worry about the brand too much.
Reply:i play with koho 250 and it has a slight curve which is how i like it so i can get some major lift for wrist and snap shots.
Reply:The best blade for concrete is going to be an ABS blade. If you have a two piece stick, you may be able to swap them, but it is a hassle to switch them every time you play. If you can afford it, just get another shaft, and save time.
