had bought rezztek a few months ago and was having an issue where it wouldnt stick to a brand new blade, reached out to customer service and they were excellent, sent me a new pack 2 days later. great product and great company
The issue with a brand new blade is that there's probably release agent left from the molding process. I would imagine a decent clean with warm water and dish soap would help a lot with adhesion, whether it's the rezztek or regular old tape. Especially on first time applications.
Just buy a big roll of 4” non skid tape from Lowe’s, Home Depot , or Amazon and trace your blade then cut it out. Save one cut out or a cut a piece of cardboard out and use as a template and you can tape your stick 20-40 times for $15-$20.
Good to see you actually use it around your rink. Surprised you said the blade tape grips the puck more than the rez I found the opposite. Both are good for tricks but stick handling bizzare grips to much. Unfortunately in actual games it last mere hours as in a real game just like tape the odds of a skate or another stick taking a chunk off it is quick. The problem is tape is Pennies and this is not. It’s damaged quickly because it’s so thin which was its biggest surprise. Interested to see someone else test this and their opinion. Good video and loved the dive In you took. Also sick rink jealous
@@PavelBarber the sand paper of the rez seems to get into the texture on the side of the puck easily. The blade tape is great for tricks since it’s rubber and using on the top of the puck but man that grippiness of the rez makes me lose the puck all game soon as I stick handle. Maybe it’s cause we are beer leaguers and the nhlers can play better lol. Anyway good video enjoy watching your stuff
Good video. The problem is the cost. Player steps on your blade, and you're replacing it. Tape with wax will give you the same result for a fraction of the cost.
The tape itself actually does protect my blade from skate-related scuffs. I wouldn't switch because the tape has saved me from having to replace my stick.
@@puzzo5370 Yeah I'm a center and I've had plenty of times where you see your blade being stepped on and kicked when fighting for a puck. But he's a great player. So he knows what you're talking about. But I'm sure this is a sponsored video. They gave them to him to get a good review. Also, tape 100%, does protect the bottom of your blade. He doesn't have to pay for his stuff so he probably has tons of sticks and only uses them for a season or so. Guys that have to buy their sticks want to protect them. Ice isn't that smooth. It will rip up the bottom of your blade if you don't tape it. Want proof, just look at your tape after a few games. The bottom will be worn and ripped. NHL guys do often cut the bottom off their tape job. But they also don't pay for sticks and they get as many as they want, as often as they want. So unless you're rich, or in a serious hockey league, this is a huge waste of money. No disrespect to Barber. He's just doing his job.
@@darthollpheist1156 The amount your tape protects the bottom is probably dry minimal if it is. I’ve been leaving my heel of my blade without tape and the top half with tape for a couple years now and never notice a difference in damage to the bottom. And some of those sticks I have used a ton.
Picked one up myself. And when i was messing around with friends, i felt like for roller it gripped the puck very well, i counted the times i could hit the michigan/lacrosse move. i was able to hit it more with rezztek in a row than i could with tape. Same technique. I do outdoor sport court, ice and indoor roller.
Chara owns part of the company his sales pitch made me laugh at him. "Everything is improving becoming sturdier lasting longer" Ahhh I've seen games where composite sticks break by the half dozen per period. I played competitively up to 16 and have never seen a half dozen sticks broken in a season playoffs included
I got a double pack to try out. I think it was cheaper at LHS. I am hoping it will last a while. I'm tired of using tape. Saw someone say just put some wax on it. I might try that too.
Rezztek advertises, "Accuracy: 6% improvement, Energy: 5% improvement, Speed: 3% improvement". $35 for a double pack is too much considering this is all the improvement I'll get.
6 pairs- 60 ice sessions -$90, Tape 1 roll 5 tape jobs- 4 sessions each time- $4. $1.5 dollars for this per session, or .25 cents per for tape. Yah ill take the tape.
I've been waiting for sticks to get kick this and the blade with the hole and the weighted heels and blah blah I love technology for sports with many facets and hockey is premiere for it
The only problem with these is that you’ll just eat through your blade in no time where as if you use tape you can run a strip down the underside to protect your blade
the point about different stiks seems to miss an oppurtunity to èerhaps say that these probably should not be used on wood sticks. i guess composite blades to not break as easily
@@PavelBarber I bet the purpose of this thing is just as if not better than tape but its just one thing hockey is losing... pretty soon kids wont even need to tie their skates anymore
If you are using your stick on shooting pad, dek, street or shitty odr, ofc it's gonna wear on the bottom. If you use it on regular ice only like most active players during season, I see no effect on stick durability when doing this 🤦🏼🤦🏼
Hey Barber, a couple of years ago I sent you a short video of some skating trails on a pond. Well last year I made another one. Again, my stick handling is nowhere near yours but since you liked the first one, here it is: ruclips.net/video/7vPtF4Xuc9w/видео.html
That's not a flex lol. Many things were around for many years, then something better came along. Look at wood sticks compared to the 2 piece composites vs what we have today. Technological advancements and we laugh at the old stuff. Not saying tape is not good, but saying its been around for 100 years like its impossible to make something better is laughable.
90$ for a 6 pack seems like a rip-off compared to some 5$ tape that'll tape up a few sticks
No one gonna talk about the squirrel just chilling on the roof by the gutters lol
I was gunna comment about it too🤣
That's an insane price. Those should cost, at the most, maybe $10.
It’s a 6 pack.

You can also use the tape with wax to prevent the tape from getting wet. Lasts 2-3 games or 5-6 SnP sessions.

Blade tape is the name of the sticky tape you put on sticks it’s like rubber. You don’t find that one more grippy? Crazy haha.

Skate scuffs? Those would be pretty rare and would actually be very difficult to know for sure if it helps.

A kid on my hockey team liked to use reztech and seemed to enjoy it
Its surprisingly good. Takes some getting used to.
Yea a bunch the kids on my team do to
Thanks for the review , i put this on my water bottle now the lid never squirts off
I've got the Rextek and they feel great. I agree its an insane price (for sand paper w/ adhesive on the back), but the control is nice.
Bro just use tape and wax it up
Anybody gonna mention the cat or squirrel 🐿 on the roof when he’s skating
i knew a guy who got 14 games out of his rezztek before changing it, they really undersell its longevity
I use surf wax. One $5 block lasts forever, takes seconds to apply and seems to work very well.
I got a double pack to try out. I think it was cheaper at LHS. I am hoping it will last a while. I'm tired of using tape. Saw someone say just put some wax on it. I might try that too.
Definitely looks like a good fit for Barbs... trick shots!

How will the rezztek do with plastic inline hockey pucks?

love your vids! and i’m actually impressed abt this
thanks for watching!
@@PavelBarber ofc!! tysm for replying to me i love your content
but on normal tape if you take out the bottom wouldnt snow come into the tap and collect more snow
Not any more than it would if it’s tight. Snow will build up regardless
this is gonna be a crazy product also noti gang
Noti gang WOO

kuznetzovs had a green hole, or was that edting?
This tape is great for tinting visors
The goalie never sees your eyes
Most people don’t have the type of money to spend like a 100 dollars for 30 ice times.
Snake oil. I did fine with a wooden Koho stick and black tape for years
True! These kids are getting hustled.
It does not come off well at all. It rips in 2, leaving the adhesive on the stick.

50 seconds in did anyone see a squirrel running on a roof
0.45 there was a cat on the roof top left 😂
a squirrel
Whats the difference between rezztec and no tape?
Thanks for the review, I put this on my shoulder strap , now the ref carries my bag
Wouldn't tape still be the cheaper option?
The only problem with these is that you’ll just eat through your blade in no time where as if you use tape you can run a strip down the underside to protect your blade
You could just do that and use rezztek. You don't go to the bottom with rezztek anyway.
@@jeffcassar6036 you’ll spend more on 1 piece of rez than 2 rolls of blade tape
Don’t apply any flat surface adhesives in the cold,
One of my friends used this and he was dust. Was before too tho so idk

Rezztek🇸🇰🔝🔝
I used it and got 20points in 5 games but it is impossible to get off
How do u do those tricks
0:54 what the cat doing on the roof in the back
How much did they pay you
Iam using skateboard grip cost me few bucks
Hi love the vids
thanks for watching!
0:49 all sudden a cat
NHL players cut bottom because they got 100 sticks atta time and got millions of dollars to spend on broken and cracked sticks💀💀
I thought so too, but I really don't think a thin layer of tape is protecting the bottom of the blade much if at all. You're not using it on concrete.
I'm poor. I need to protect my stick, I play roller so it's way rougher with no tape.
I don't think tape is protecting the bottom much on the ice lol
Do you have your own curves?
what curve do u use?
32DD
0:48 wtf:D
Well sorry, but tape at the bottom actually protects the blade..
I'd rather use black tape and stick wax.
I don't get the hype.... i know this kind of tape for many years, called blade tape. At least in germany, it's not really popular
Cat on the roof
Did you get a hair cut?
Did you ever play professionally
You should review (ROCKET SKINS) they are so cool!!!😀
Dust
interesting
the point about different stiks seems to miss an oppurtunity to èerhaps say that these probably should not be used on wood sticks. i guess composite blades to not break as easily
took these guys years to get it to the public
