    The stick rigidity data collected by Dr. Evans and I is not a formal reflection on the manufacturers because the sticks were previously used and we could not find an ASTM standard to setup our test. The possibility exists that I put the support positions too close together, which would make the values lower. The players however gave us the sticks because they were "so used they were now flimsy". Our data reflected this. If I had it to do over again I would test a new stick vs an old stick. Kettering University has done some research on this subject and we tried to setup our test apparatus similar to theirs. They applied the force to the foot of the stick. We applied the force to the center. www.kettering.edu/news/taking-...
    I thought this was a great video of a product that has normalized the process by constraining the 1 inch deflection measurement.

    When calculating the compression of the puck, did you consider the temperature of the rubber? In the NHL, rule 13.2 covers frozen pucks:
    13.2 Supply - The home team shall be responsible for providing an adequate supply of official pucks which shall be kept in a frozen condition.
    The frozen pucks are stiffer and less likely to bounce.

      The flex points are much like a golf club. The lower the flex point the higher the trajectory of the puck. The higher the flex point, the lower if both were done at same blade speed at impact.

    • @minecrafter0505
      @minecrafter0505 Před 6 lety +11

      In hockey you have two possible ways to shoot, the slapshot (shown in the video) and the wrist shot (you start the shot with the stick on the ice and the puck on the stick and drag it forward, accelerating it with a wrist twist at the end). In Germany you are not allowed to do a slapshot in the lowest two age classes, as they also play in a smaller field. The slapshot is also more inaccurate and mostly used by defenders in the offensive, trying to force a rebound, while the wrist shot is used when you really want to hit the spot you aim for. The best thing about the wrist shot is once you get the technique right you hit exactly the spot your stick points at at the end of your shot. Also in pee wee hockey a slapshot is very hard to do anyways, as your sticks are usually so stiff they don't even have flex ratings (because they are too short and usually pretty cheap). So this video probably wouldn't have helped you back then :P

    • @DerekKerton
      @DerekKerton Před 6 lety +5

      In golf, a similar thing happens, except it is the ball that compresses, deforms, and stores the extra energy before springing off the club. Yes, the club also has some spring, but not like a hockey stick that hits the ice first.
      Then, a whole bunch of cool physics affects the ball in flight...which in my case usually results in a slice.

    • @owenmarsh1985

    • @SirHollywood44
      @SirHollywood44 Před 5 lety +2

      @@minecrafter0505 sadly incorrect information you forgot snapshots and back hands... Also i shoot harder slap shots with stiffer sticks as do the pros both chara and weber use over 110 flex. Lastly in pewee i had an easton typhoon (two piece stick where the shaft was composite and the blade wood) with a rating of 45 flex. So in short a stiffer stick is better if your good at slaps, there are more then two shots and youth sticks come in more flexible amounts.

    • @samsignorelli
      @samsignorelli Před 5 lety +1

      You should see a fencing blade sometime. Blades used at the international level in foil and epee have a minimum and maximum deflection when tested (clamp the blade 70cm from the front face of the tip, hang a 200gm weight from the end, measure the deflection.
      But even the stiffest blades look like wet noodles when in use at super slo mo....it's amazing I hit anything after taking a parry, frankly.

    I love how you're really diving into the science behind hockey the last few months. Something to keep in mind with sticks is the kick point, or flex point, is not the same on every stick. Some sticks have the kick point in the middle of the shaft, others have it lower or higher on the shaft of the stick. Also 2 piece sticks, which are a shaft and separate blade that are glued into place, can have very different flex and kick characteristics from 1 piece sticks.

    The "hockey stick whip index" isn't as correct; this is more of how it actually is.
    75 - Whip Flex
    85 - Regular Flex
    100 - Stiff Flex
    110 - Pro Stiff Flex
    either way I loved this episode of SED. can you please make more involving hockey like wrist shots or body checks!

    • @jasonhockey4671
      @jasonhockey4671 Před 8 lety +1

      Haha! Im not a defenseman, but I take my sticks pretty stiff. I have a Warrior QR-1 with a 110 flex. Im a heavy guy so I need a good flex profile to get that stick bent and to get that puck flying. Ive perfected my own techniques of various shots to accommodate my flex. Now, I do however break my sticks often, but I have about 8 of the same stick, that's because I need back ups and I don't like any other stick than I have right now. Plus my curve is NASTY! Utilizing flex is a skill and you have to constantly keep using that flex to actually perform your best with it. If you use an 85 and your slapshot wont get up that's because you haven't learned your stick yet. You gota learn the flex, learn the curve, learn the weight. Trust me, when I was starting off I used 85's and then I jumped up to 110 through a graduated amount of time, it was hard to learn how to re take my shots again but its an easy thing to come by, just practice!

    @Lawrence5762 Před 10 lety +5

    Hi Destin, I love getting smarter every day with you. Your enthusiasm is contagious! I do have a couple of questions:
    1) When you crushed the hockey puck, did you freeze it first? They use frozen ones in the game. Or were you just crushing the puck for fun?
    2) When the stick broke, will it always break in the same place or do the circumstances of why it broke make a difference? You showed your slap-shooter hitting the puck super-fat on relatively clean ice (not chewed up due the playing of the game. If the were to break due to fatigue or if the shooter hit the toe or the heel of the hockey stick harder/first/second, or if the ice were rougher, like it is at the end of each period, would that change the fatigue point? I assume if the hockey player hit a different hard surface (e.g. the goal pipes, the boards, or another player's body parts) the fracture point might be different in a different place. I have often seen the stick break where the blade meets the handle, but they may not have been "one piece composite" sticks.
    DFTBA

    • @BrianMcDonald
      @BrianMcDonald Před 10 lety

      The stick can break in pretty much any part of the stick. Based on the nature of the composite construction, impacts (from pucks, other sticks, etc.) may cause structural compromise to the fibers of the stick, and when that compromised area is stressed again, it will fail and break.

    • @Tidus22340
      @Tidus22340 Před 10 lety

      A one piece composite stick generally breaks near where the blade meets the shaft. The ice surface and how smooth or rough it is will generally have no impact on where a stick would break. Other impacts, as Brian said, can cause structural failure - in this case, the player was probably a defenseman and the stick had been flexed in the same place too many times, causing it to snap at the shaft like that.
      A two piece stick will break off the blade almost exclusively, as that's where the shaft and blade are joined together. Usually right along the heel of the blade.

    • @chrispappas3750

    The same thing happens when you cast a fishing lure. You load the rod with the weight of a lure, then release the load, and let the rod throw the lure into the lake. The whippier the rod, the less weight it takes to load it, but too whippy a rod, and you lose distance because you don't get all the energy from your arm action.

    • @lancerd4934
      @lancerd4934 Před 10 lety +1

      There are also variations in fishing rods because different sections of rod have different amounts of flex, hence the terms fast, medium and slow action to describe how the flex profile along the length of the rod varies between rods. These factors are especially important to fly fishers as they use the weight of the line to slowly feed out the line over multiple false casts, so it is necessary to have a rod that is flexible enough to store lots of energy, elastic enough to release that energy quickly when you need it, and stiff enough to resist the momentum of the line to keep it aerialised on the return swing. Would probably make for a good video once the weather warms up.

      @TheAlphapuck5280 Před 4 lety +1

      Kick points are independent of the flex. You can have high or low kick (meaning this is the spot where the elasticity returns to its resting state FIRST) and still have the same flex reading.

    When u guys were testing the flex of the stick maybe wrong because different sticks have different flex points and players get the one that fits their style of play. I like taking quick shots and getting a quick release on the puck so the flex point for my stick is near the bottom of the stick, closer to the blade. Vice - versa for people who like to load up on their shots and what not. And some sticks are not well balanced as well, Some sticks that are expensive, their balance point would be in the middle, It will be different for cheaper sticks.

    • @brandonfrancey5592
      @brandonfrancey5592 Před 10 lety +8

      I've done some math for fun but the blinking exit sign is due to the electric grid running at 60hz. The high speed camera is running at 1200 frames per second. Slowed down to 24 frames per second video is 50 times slower. Power is cycling forward and backwards 60 times a second. Slowed down 50 times you get a cycle every 1.2 second. During each cycle the light will flash twice, once on the positive voltage, once on the negative voltage. So while playing this video, every .6 second the exit sign should flash.

    Hey Dustin, it might be cool to make a video explain how your hi-speed cameras work. For example, why do you have to use different lighting with hi-speed cameras than with normal cameras.

    • @TheAmmoniacal
      @TheAmmoniacal Před 10 lety

      You don't need different lighting, you just need a lot more. Because the shutter speed is so incredibly fast, the amount of light the CCD gets exposed to is a lot less.

    • @wqwwqwqqpoppopoo
      @wqwwqwqqpoppopoo Před 10 lety

      don't mean to be a prude, but "more light" is different than "less light", so it DOES need different lighting lol. But thank you for explaining why it needs more light.

    • @KayleLang
      @KayleLang Před 10 lety +1

      The only difference I imagine is the lighting being brighter, due to the much faster shutter speed, and something that doesn't have a flicker. Though our eyes might not see it, it's sometimes noticeable with fluorescent lights on a camera, even at normal speeds; I assume it's due to the shutter and flicker are out of sync, making a compounded effect. With high speed, it would be even more noticeable.

    • @DreadX10
      @DreadX10 Před 5 lety

      I would really like to see a slow-mo of a trick-shot I was allowed to do on a pool table with an old cloth. Rack up the balls like you normally would (but make sure the rack is one solid mass, in other words by extra careful that all the balls touch their neighbours), set the cue-ball deadcentre to the rack (normal break-off distance) and launch it with as much topspin as you can manage. If all goes well, the cue-ball will hit the first ball of the rack dead-centre, bounce backwards while still spinning (because the balls' direction is now reversed, it is now back-spinning). The cue-ball will leave a trail of smoke when bouncing off the rack (as long as it doesn't bounce upwards). Backspin + speed of the ball will make the bottom go so fast relative to the cloth that it burns the cloth in a very narrow strip. Investigating the cloth afterwards, it will look like it was cut with a knife. The cloth is ruined so do this just before changing an old cloth for a new one.

      @parkercollins7946 Před 10 lety

      I was pretty impressed at just how much the puck slowed the blade of the stick. The inertia of the puck noticeably added to the flex/whip/bow in the stick before being slung forward.
      I bet just the puck would slow the blade and flex it a bit though.....

    • @coledevlin3984
      @coledevlin3984 Před 5 lety

      The guy in the video was just asking to break his stick by how far back he was hitting the ice before the blade hit the puck. The further back, the more the stick flexes. And the further down tour hands are, the higher the chance of flexing the stick too far.
