It's also worth making note of Mark Jenniskens switch back to the TK rhp after dabbling with the Obo Hi Control rhp. Jenniskens joined other Dutch international goalkeepers Stockmann and Blaak in using the glove for its larger blocking surface for shot stopping. But it looks as if Stockmann is the only goalkeeper of the four (Sam Van der Ven being Obo sponsored and always using the rhp!) to be still using the glove after having made the change himself. Obviously this is Jenniskens' last season playing at the elite level so it won't be possible to keep track of his kit set-up following the Euro Hockey League fixtures he is currently taking part in!
A blog for and about hockey goalkeepers and goalkeeping, trying to expand their coverage, given what a niche market it is! Was a little disappointed that there is nothing like this around so thought I'd have a bash at remedying that! Written with a slightly Gonzo journalistic approach. Thoughts and analysis of the elite. All opinions are my own; can't be bothered with anyone else's after all!

Blaak back in TK rhp
Having seen the popularity of the larger sized blocking Obo Hi Rebound rhp growing throughout the whole goalkeeping depth of Holland's international goalkeeping choices, it seems there are some considering a full time reversion to the TK design. Stockmann obviously started out with the TK rhp going with his Brabo foam but recently made the switch, enjoying the use of the larger surface area for saves to his right. But second choice Blaak is back using the TK rhp having been inspired to use the Obo rhp design himself (Jenniskens too made the switch not so long ago), in action for club side Rotterdam in the Hoofdklasse, but has also been continuing the change in action in the Euro Hockey League KO16.
