    I just ordered a couple pairs of these to try. Cheap and made from the same material as a baselayer, so very thin and have a little more grip. I wanted something as thin as possible, so fingerless is even better IMO.

    Just google. This model is "Head Web Racquetball Glove". They're nice because the backhand is very thin (and half of is mesh) and the grip is fantastic. Barely even knew I had them on. I didn't need them anymore once I switched to custom gloves with intermediate palms. Now this would be much too heavy/thick for me.

    I couldn't care less about your opinion. As I said, you do you.

    I have small hands. Gloves always feel a tiny bit big for me. About six months ago I started to try different gloves under my hockey gloves to see if they'd make things fit a bit better and maybe help with better grip when shooting. The first thing I tried were batting gloves for baseball. Then I tried golf gloves. Both worked fine enough, but they were a bit too snug, so I found it a bit awkward when dealing with my helmet straps. What I found worked best for me were some latex coated gardening gloves I found at Walmart. I can't find an exact picture, but they look like these. The palms are coated, but the back of the hand is just fabric, so they're more flexible and breathable than the batting and golf gloves. And best of all, they're cheap. $5.

    Thanks. I'll def look into this option for future users.

    Glad you found a solution. Aquaseal does have a pretty good tack to it. All I’ve every done was use weights or clothes pins while curing, and never had an issue.

    Thanks for the reply. That stuff would be a good option especially when attaching the plastic insert over the EPS foam board (same as using a polyurethane adhesive like construction adhesive, gorilla glue etc). It would also work attaching the EPS foam board on the softer neoprene like backing as well (not pictured) but the only issue is that unless the glue has a high tack, I'll need to clamp the softer foam to the eps board which would likely distort the foams after being clamped for x hours. I deliberated over whether I should risk it and use hot melt glue since I've used it on foams before and even though it does melt the foam a bit these pieces are pretty thick and by the time the glue cools down it wouldn't have done much damage. I even thought of using industrial adhesive Velcro on both prices and attach it that way but I didn't want the added bulk the loop and hook would create. But this option would've been the quickest and least tedious option. I figured the best options in attaching the EPS board to the softer neoprene foam are: - 3m super 78 foam adhesive (harder to find in Canada and $$$$) - water based contact cement (again a bit harder to find and more expensive than regular solvent based contact cement) What I ended up using was an OLD can of spray 77 that doesn't contain any acetone like thr newer ones. I tested to see if it was still good and surprisingly it was still good even for a 20 year old can lol. I mean in hindsight the thigh boards aren't going to be undergoing much stress in terms of being peeled and pulled from one another. All forces would be direct impact and the boards will be encapsulated inside the pant shell, so maybe I put way too much thought into this 🫠

    sorry if you don't like my opinion. I find the current knee pads way to big and bulky and imped my pad rotation. I would rather have less bulk.

    Thanks! How did you find the racquetball glove? It looks a little thicker, but the silicone grip might be nice.

    Some of them wear cotton liners, lundqvist being one of the more famous examples (He explains it here https://www.tiktok.com/@spittinchiclets/video/7534892352972786958): I used to wear a racquetball glove under my glove, mostly just for some more grip. Like this:

    Personally, I've never read/used the reviews on any of the sites like Pure Hockey, Hockey Monkey, Ice Warehouse, etc. I'll watch new gear breakdown videos some of them put out but if I want reviews I'll use google and read them on sites like MSH, S2K, or Reddit because, let's face it, the ones who are capable of giving a meaningful review aren't posting on the store websites, they're posting on sites like this one (and Reddit is a mixed bag, you have to weed through a lot of nonsense but sometimes you get some decent reviews).

    I was watching a game the other day and noticed a player (Kiefer Sherwood, maybe?) had a white, spandex-looking glove on, under his regular glove. I've seen goalies do this too, and I assume it probably helps wick away moisture, similar to wearing a baselayer. Has anyone tried it before? If so, what's your thoughts? I rotate gloves, because I can't stand wet gloves, which normally isn't really an issue apart from when I'm playing tournaments. But recently I started playing Roller again, which is way warmer, and noticed my gloves getting soaked by the end of a game. This option might make sense for me, but I'd like to gather some thoughts and feedback if anyone has tried this before. I'm guess it probably impacts your feel a bit too After a quick search, I saw these: https://wickerssports.com/products/wickers-glove-liners Seem kinda expensive for what they are, but might be worth a try.

    But isnt that the point? I'd argue that most people buying retail sticks would like to know if the stick is durable or not, no? There are plenty of sticks over the years that have had great durability, feel and gameplay.....and the reviews have stated such. Then that same manufacturer decides to tweak the design on the newest version of that stick and they all of a sudden have created a stick with much less durability. As a consumer, i'd like to know if the stick im about to buy is failing the same place as others who have purchased before me. Many sticks over the years ( aside from those breaking via slashes, cross checks or whatever ) fail in the same place over and over and do so prematurely. Eventually a pattern emerges and the reviews begin to show a story. Getting rid of the reviews IMO is clearly an attempt by the manufacturers or retail company trying to hide those defects, in hopes that it helps with sales. As a business, i'd like to know where and why my products are failing, so i can improve on the next version.

    I don't know if it's the best option, but I've had success using a urethane based glue like Aquaseal. It's waterproof and stays flexible, and bonds pretty well to foams and plastics. https://www.gearaid.com/products/aquaseal-repair-adhesive-shoe

    They should get rid of them. Retail site stick reviews are super dumb. Just a bunch of people complaining their stick broke.

    maybe not for you, but for me yes it is. it is subjective and each their own
  23. Sniper9 started following What glue to use for equipment foam
  24. Sniper9
    When I washed my pro stock hp45x pants, I removed the thigh boards and noticed the glue was failing. I'm gonna clean it up and re attach but am having trouble deciding which glue is best. I'm assuming contact cement was used on the factory but I also read that contact cement and other solvent based glues can eat away at EPS foam (the hard foam). Anyone have any advice on what glue to use? Maybe a water based contact cement? I THINK a water based glue could've been used since I noticed the glue from the factory started to gum up a bit when I was washing the pieces of foam separately Tia.

    Was on Pure Hockey's website today and noticed that there isn't a customer review on any single stick on their website. Two weeks ago, most sticks had reviews on them. As a conspiracy theorist, i think i i know why......
  26. xstartxtodayx
    I always had the gold one, wanted that blue/yellow so bad. Later on I traded a friend for the Gretzky mirrored one, man was that cool. Still a piece of rebar but it looked badass.

    If we go further than 10 years, my blue and yellow Easton aluminum from the mid-90's. The thing was like playing with rebar, but it was very cool.

    Is it possible to customize the blade or pick a build with a softer blade? If it would feel like a 2N Pro in the blade as well, it would be pretty sweet. I take it you are a P90TM user. I played with it a lot but I prefer the P92, mostly due to the lie, the blade is quite alright. The Ben Pro is just a P92 with a toe kink, I think I would like this one, curious to try it or the Zegra P86. I had never heard of a Big Benn, but I googled and it looks pretty close to the retail P90TM. It's odd that he doesn't offer it on the regular builds, it's quite a common curve.

    I did the Readline build (recommended) and selected mid kick. It would have been a dream had it had a softer blade. You know it ain't working when guys on your own team are chirping about it. I tried the VF. Here's my honest take. It's a nice stick, even better if you buy enough to get free shipping. It does however lack that magic that makes the Jetspeed the Jetspeed. Your opinion my differ. I have a buddy who's also a Jetspeed user and he loves his VF. The big turn off for me was the pattern. Their Benn Pro plays like a P92. They offer something closer to the P90TM (BigBenn) but only on customs. As a devoted Jetspeed user, I desperately wanted to like it. I'd give it another try if they start offering the BigBen pattern.
