So I will need a knock box.
I have been giving it a bit of thought and talking to some people.
It seems that many knock boxes out there have the bashing cross-bar right through the centre of the cylinder. This is ok if you just want to bash the PF against it and let the puck break in half and make a mess etc.
My technique at the moment is to bash the PF against something right near the top of the PF, the opposite side to the handle. So if I were to use that technique against a knock box with the rod through the middle, the puck would need to fall between the rod and the front of the knock box. This, in my mind, makes for less room for the puck to fall and could be prone to messy misses.
Are there any knock boxes out there that cater for this - that have the rod set further back in the cylinder?
What do people use as a knock box? What is your design, and technique?
Where did you get it?
What is the diameter of the cylinder? Are those narrower ones really okay?
I imagine buying one that is quite small, I dont want one that is going to take up too much bench space, and I want to be able to easily clean it.
Hey theres a thought, are they dishwasher OK?
Any advice / suggestions appreciated.
