Hey all, do you use butt end or plug at the end of stick or go without? What are advantages of using one or does it make any difference?

[Maligator175]

I use one, but if it falls out I don't lose sleep over it.

Butt end. My obsessive compulsive mind can't live with the fact that something might fall in there.

I tape over mine to prevent it from falling out

Would usually end up losing mine. The end cap i guess is made for caution when it comes to players safety. That's my guess.

This   and if I buy a used stick or lose the end cap I just tape it over before taping the stick up.

So structurally it makes no difference? Only between the ears I am to assume.

It doesn't, and what xstartxtodayx said is exactly what i do.

Thank you for responses, taping it up as we speak

[TokenGoon]

Tape over mine as well, some plugs are so loose that they go flying after few shots

me too

If you want to keep the end cap, buy some stick glue. Will keep it in place.

Always use a butt plug. My OCD would drive me nuts if it wasn't there. Put a little tape around it if it comes out too easy. I also always use the same plugs because I like rubbing the center jewel on the warrior plugs during games.😏

I just acquired a stick without one that is why I was asking, I usually use the one that comes with it and tape over it and all that good stuff. Was more asking if it was necessary and seems just to be a personal preference but not essenfial. Thanks

i use to take them out, but then i noticed i'd wear a hole in my palm faster.

 

now i keep it in and tape over it so it doesn't fall out and my palm lasts longer

[daveski7]

I grabbed one from a broken stick after my game and re-taped to take care of any doubt I had in my mind. Problem solved!

[Fooj]

I take around the sides to keep it in but not over it.  Always needs to be one of those soft rubbery easton/bauer ones too

[Wheelin89]

Throw it in the trash

gutsy

Recently discovered the importance of keeping the end cap in last weekend when my stick coat on the net and I rammed my rib right into the knob. Glad those Bauer butt ends are a huge chunk of rubber!
