Hey Angelo! I thought you were a goalie!!! Nice Davis colored gloves! Too bad you aren't in Nor Cal anymore. I'd like to check out those EQ5 gloves and compare them to the Canadian made Synergy pros and Canadian made E-Pros.

One shop in my area is charging $15 for a FBV sharpening. I'll try it out when the summer season starts.

They are closer to X70's. The ones I have have the name "ASHLEY" on the inside of the flap thingy. Usually names are on the outside.

When I started out in net a few years back, I had the 6.2 series of goalie equipment (Thanks Chadd!). I liked the pads and blocker a lot. For the price point at that time, it was a lot better than the competition. I hated the trapper though.

These gloves have goat palms and goat backhand pad. No lock thumb.

I use them because it gives me consistency when switching between so many sticks!!! I started out years ago with them and never switched out. I guess I'm just used to them. Why? Because I used to play 4 nights a week and I like to try stuff out. Plus I'm not the type to ask a billion questions about a product. I read up what I can and try it out myself. If I don't like it, I sell it to teammates or their friends. As you can see, I end up not selling much! But I have a tendency to stock up on stuff I like, hence the Eagle OPS and not pictured, XN10 shafts (Redlite and R2 XN10). You should see my glove collection. Then I started playing in net, so I have goalie junk too. I blame this all on joining the Easton board, migrating to CB, and now to MSH!!! I've actually been a long time member, but I hardly post.

This is half of my stick collection. I recently moved from a 700 square foot condo to a house, so I now have garage space to store my hockey junk! From left to right (everything is 85 flex or less): TPS Adrenaline Control (Morrow Curve), blank Vapor XXX (P91), Vapor XXX Lite (P91A), bunch of Eagle X80's and X70's (Talon curve), Innovative Novius (pro Sundin), one90 (P91A), Synergy Elite (Drury), Stealth CNT (Drury), Synergy II with Synergy II blade (Drury), Response Plus (Morrow), Redlite XN10 with AK27 (Kovalev), R2XN10 with Synthesis blade (Drury), R2XN10 with Warrior pro dolomite blade (Arnott), TPS R81 with Harrow blade (#3), XN10 (pro Nilson), Stealth CNT grip (Drury), Hull Z-Bubble with Z-carbon blade (Drury), Vapor XXX Lite (P91A), Vapor XXX (P91), Dolomite 2 grip with pro Synthesis blade (Styles), Dolomite 2 grip with pro Synthesis blade (Roenick), 2 full wrong goalie sticks!, and some shafts.

Here's a recent picture of me attempting to pass in our playoff game.

I have a pro return Nilson XN10 and it is a whip flex. I shot around with a pro return Nilson XXX Lite and it was a 77 flex. I'm assuming it is the same Nilson. Is yours a RH stick? The blade shape is more rectangular (equal height throughout the blade), than say a Drury retail, which is gets a little fatter towards the tip of the blade.

Here are a couple of recent pics of me in net.

Here is a recent picture of me in net again.
