Use the ultra light GStop at the end of your goalie stick instead of tape to close the gap, get greater reach, and a better grip.
The Patent Pending GStop compresses to close the gap when your stick is flat across the ice. It’s lightweight, adds up to .75” to your poke-check, and designed to fit your blocker hand position so you won’t lose your grip. Plus, transfer it to a new stick and there’s no need to get used to a new wrap.
