  1. True gloves used to be REALLY bad for that. But the latest XC9 were a huge improvement and made considerably better, so I have decent hopes for these.
  2. I think it is kind of brilliant. Same with the Hyperlite with basically no graphic. Why have gear on pros with different graphics from the stuff you can buy. Seeing FT4 sticks when FT3 JUST came out turns people off from getting them.
  3. Love how they rotate and crop the Getty photo... at least leave the credit there.
  4. I used the full stick and not the 2 pieces. They are decent for the price but don't compete with the top stick companies or Prostockhockeysticks. But if you want the P91 blades I don't see a huge issue with it? Just know they won't compete with the best of the best.
  5. Doing a list of best sticks is always a bad idea because like you said everyone has their own preferences and the "easy to load and launch" will always be at the top. The rankings of those sticks show here proves that. 2S Pro (and other Supremes as well as older Tacks) will always be at the bottom because they actually require effort to shoot. But those sticks usually have the hardest shots and definitely the hardest slap shots, and are used by the hardest shooters I face. Not to mention I don't trust randoms with their opinions because enough people have responded with "I love the dampened feel of the Flylite sticks" that it isn't worth responding too.
  6. Why would they aim for a glove to improve grip, you have sticks with grip to do that? The point of the breaks is to minimize gaps in protection while keeping them extremely mobile. 2 piece fingers have bigger gaps in the padding that 3 piece fingers do. So, 8 breaks will have even less protection gaps.
  7. The prototypes were super loose fitting. But I know the fit wasn't finalized so I can't say how they will actually be. These gloves will be called Halo, not sure if they will be Surgeons or what. They had HPR2 pieces on the prototypes.
  8. Yes, but it isn't a thing with CCM not paying, Fluery painted the stick himself evidently. He used to be a CCM paid athlete and this might have something to do with him not wanting to show off their stuff if he isn't.
  9. Yeah, sorry I wasn't more clear haha. We should probably request the thread title to be changed.
  10. They are legit the most broken in and mobile glove I have ever worn and the protection was as good as their pro stocks I put it up against. People were thrown off by the design, but the second they put them on everyone I showed them to loved them. Should be called "Halo" like the stick.
  11. It's a CCM, same as he has been using basically forever.
  12. These aren't the HPR2 Pro gloves.
  13. He got new pads. This a totally new model Lefevre designed.
  14. Absolutely not a standard. Lots of people prefer the cream coloured Bauer have compared to the black that warrior has. Completely personal preference and not something they should be knocked for unless it was actually an inferior product (which it isn't).
  15. Probably an understated one to not make it obvious yet. Also, Geo and Ultrasonic aren't dated... 0 issues on both mine and my gfs 2S Pro palms and she has used them straight since they came out. Clearly Bauer can't win though... people complained the previous ones were too thick and now they aren't durable enough...
  16. This is the truth. 2S Pro are amazing, 1S were solid and even 1X Pro were good gloves.
  17. MOST others. There is one or two that are legit and actually know what they are doing. I only personally know of one but I haven't been able to try everything.
  18. So, this exists: https://www.thehockeyshop.com/products/bauer-elite-senior-goalie-padded-shirt Which I am assuming is what you are talking about? Bauer told me they are a SMU and only certain stores are carrying them and that they won't appear on Bauer's website for sale (which is super frustrating). Do you have any local shops that carry Bauer stuff? They might be able to order it in for you. Edit: Found it on Hockey Monkey EU: https://www.monkeysports.eu/hockey-goalie/hockey-base-layer/undergarment-tops/bauer-elite-padded-sr-goalie-longsleeve
  19. This was easily the worst shooting stick I have ever used. They wanted $300 when they sent me mine. Stay away and ignore this company.
  20. QRL were great minus the crappy foams at retail...
  21. Just to clarify. Unless Bauer actually listened to feedback for once (I doubt it) neither of those gloves are HyperLite. The graphics are... but the blocker is a 1X Pro skinned and the catcher is CCM 590 clone. Also, where did you get that picture haha
  22. McDavid is wearing a 2 piece skate skinned as an FT4. You can see a black line separating the white on the design where you can't on the Matthew's skate. The black line is probably the outsole.
