Torch Hockey Knob Stick Knob - Intermediate Review

Some grinding involved lol

Okay this thing is weird looking. I'd be willing to put money down to say this knob is not going to make me shoot harder, jump higher, or alter the multiverse. That said, this extension is lighter than a wood knob, seems to disperse the friction that cause concentrated hot spots on my glove palms, which lead to burn out holes, and RIP gloves. I needed a short extension, and I get… read more sentimentally attached to my gloves, because I buy nice gloves. This extension will, imho, extend the life of my glove palms, and it made my stick the perfect height without being a heavy wooden plug knob. Took a week to get used to the grip, as it does slightly change the angle of your wrist. The shape makes that obvious. Every tool, and weapon our species has made, we eventually made a better grip that is anatomically a better fit. That's how I see this knob. That said, getting the knob into the sticks, involved an electric wheel grinder. "Some filing may be needed" was an understatement. Depending on the brand of your stick, using a hand file to get this knob down to where you can find tune it to fit snug, would be a great VR prison escape simulator.

Different is good

I did a lot of online research before buying The Torch. I use Bauer Total One sticks. I did not have to glue in, the fit was plenty snug. I used a rubber mallet to get the knob in. I taped the joint using black cloth and off I went to the rink. FIrst couple of games I was pulling everything and missing the net but now have settled in and I really enjoy the control and feel… read more of The Torch.
