Seems weird to me that skates have become ridiculously stiff in an attempt to reduce energy loss and increase response time, (I personally think this is misguided), only to add a suspension system which will have the opposite effect.

That's great to hear. I never realized that some brands made intermediate options, were made with the same dimensions as Sr, except being shorter.

Howdy, The ones I have (A6.0, A4.5, X Core, etc.) all have the same dimensions as the Sr. sticks. Mark

Warrior Alpha DX Elbow Pads First pair of elbow pads since the original white Warrior Projekt that I’ve actually found comfortable. Tried them on at Winterfest and loved the feel. Bought them as soon as I saw the email that they were available. I’m not so sure about the sizing though. I bought a Large (my white Projekt size Medium was perfect but apparently those fit big, because the blue Projekt in medium were way too small and most size medium elbows from most brands in the store also felt a bit tight.) but while they feel comfortable, there is no gap at all at the forearm which while I assume is a good thing for protection, I feel like I couldn’t really pull the straps as tight as I might otherwise. Also the forearms on these are REALLY long. They go almost to my wrist. Again, probably not a bad thing protection-wise but still very different from what I’m used to. I dunno, should I order some mediums and just send one of the pairs back once I’ve been able to try both?
