EP #34 - Viewers Questions - Andalus101's Questions

I attempt to answer Andalus101's questions about Toe Ties, Boot Straps and Pad Rotation. I go a little in depth on all of these topics and explain the importance of each. I touch on the role of toe ties, How boot straps effect pad position, and Possible reasons your pads do not rotate.
I hope this answers your questions better Andalus101.
Goalie Gear Nerd has a great post that shows a simple clean strapping of a pro goalie that i will try to embed in as a card in the video.

not the same question but you answered it here. not new (1972) to goalie but still learning every day.

[@CoachJohnnyGoaltending]

You have a few years on me (1978). Glad to hear you are still playing and learning, I’m learning new things myself each day otherwise its a wasted day

Thanks. Great info. New 40+ to goalie. Might ditch my bootstrap afterall

You can do it! It helps so much with ankle strain and knee wear. It feels odd at first but it's so much better with out it.

I play roller and the tip regarding boot straps looks to be game changing! I cant really use toe ties (both lace and elastic) simce they will either get caught iny wheels or snap on the chassis! Im going to to try going through the back slot on my skate amd try different tensions. Im hoping this makes a big difference since I usually go right through the large section in the middle. Thanks for the tips!

Yeah hope that works. With Roller you could always do a toe tie lace to the last loop in your skate laces just above the toe caps. Might work but the pad might sit too high, maybe try a few different lengths to adjust how high the pad is sitting of the playing surface.
I did once see a small loop (bolted) on the front of a skate for toe ties. But I did not look close enough to give a recommendation as roller is not very popular here in Canada.
Maybe clip the toe ties to your lace thru a small loop lower down on the chassis to “blend” these two ?

Maybe this new video will help explain some common problems. If it does not have the answers you seek just let me know what parts you are struggling with in the comments somewhere ?
