    I have the 100 Flex RX3 stick, And i would have to say, yes it feels whippier then other brands 100 flex. I actually prefer it.

    On the not trusty Australian feel o meter - id say its equiv to most brands 90-95 flex.

    Which is actually perfect for me, as i find 85 flex in any brand like pool noodles.

    Other gear i have is their RX3 Elbow pads - i really like them with the sleeve they have. I also have some surgeon gloves (older model) which are really snug, but comfortable as sin.

    No Idea on the newer stuff, Stores over here in Australia are pretty limited, so we usually either have to buy when on work/social trips to US/Canada, or order online and hope.

    Though i did buy mine a couple of trips ago in store over there. and whilst they had limited range (in INT sizing) i found the HD1 to be the widest at the bottom as i tuck my tongue under.
    I just have short legs, as im actually 6" Tall. But every 'size guide' i dont fit 15 shins.

    The new Alpha appear online very similar but updates colours, so design is similar.. Possibly newer tech in foams?

    There's no "legal" option for outside of Canada, luckily I'm in Asia where no one really cares about copyright laws of other countries. There's a reddit thread that may or may not have a link split into two posts that would allow you to access someone's mega drive and perhaps download the entire second season. I'm really going to miss cheap and fast internet that doesn't narc you out to the fun police for downloading something that isn't available in your country when I move back to the states. 

    i dont really have cheap and fast internet here in australia...

    but we do have the fun police - but they do not know how to deal with VPN's haha

    My big whinge at the moment is Heel Blisters.

    I essentially got them being lazy and playing soccer in a really thin pair of socks that i dont normally play in - in my newish boots...

    All good except that was about 4 weeks ago - and i still have the blisters (havent popped them etc)

    So i have had to a) use my old soccer boots, and b) use blister bandages which dont do much on their own when your playing sport - so also have to tape the area and pad it out extra .

    I just wish they would go away... they even hurt when skating :(

    Currently i have the following going on

     

    Helmet: Bauer 4500 Black

    Visor: Oakley Pro Straight - But due for replacement as its scratched to hell (so is angled up)

    Shoulder pads: Reebok 9k Padded Shirt

    Elbow pads: Reebok 11k Elbows

    Gloves: Warrior Franchise in White/Silver

    Pants: Warrior Projekt Girdle (just converted to girdle system) With Tackla shells

    Shin pads: Old Koho 6690s - cant even find a picture of these online but were bought a year or 2 before i had an extended break in my late teens

    Skates: CCM u12s, But i have some CCM tacks which i need to rebake and start using

    Sticks: Warrior Widow - Kovalchuk Curve - 100 Flex, Montreal M60 (i think painted warrior) - Euro Curve - 100 Flex (i used to use Montreal woodies before my extended break from the game so bought a bunch of these).

     

    I am now trying to slowing dial back my flex as i have lost a bunch of weight recently.

    i was more trying to highlight the fact that on one hand, everyone whinges that when they go to pro team sales, there is nothing left because the first few people came and bought all that they could carry regardless of if for private use etc.

    Then on the other hand we celebrate people who have 4 girdles which cant possibly be for personal use.

    can someone explain to me, why you would need 4x girdles that look give or take the same vintage/model...

    I understand people upgrade gear at times ie i have an older pair of pants that i dont use as i got new ones that fit better...

    But 4 pairs?

    (not in regards to consumables such as blades/sticks etc)

    well that would explain it, but im certain i saw someone write 6/32 on another forum somewhere. either way i could only source 3/16 so they seem to be working fine (not doing roller conversion, but replacing a broken holder.)

    it should be noted in australia it would mean posting boots and products away and getting them back a couple of weeks later, as there is zero people locally to do it (the local rink i dont even trust sharpening my skates)

    Well, I can't speak for the CL pants, but the U+12 LE's I had were pretty nice. Very light and very comfortable. Trouble is, and as someone else here had pointed out, the leg openings are huge. That can now be safely confirmed. The segment on the side makes the legs a little unnecessarily wide from back to front. I got rid of them partially for that reason. They were also a tad short on me.

    Bottom line: If you can get over the thunder-thigh legs, I imagine you'll be very happy with them.

    P.S. - Look Mr. CCM, I really want to like your pants. Please make a tall cut and bring back the narrower leg openings like you had on the last generation of Tacks pants.

    I have seen this issue come up with every review.. Yet when i got mine.. i couldnt be happier.. fair enough im slightly heavier set. but i wouldnt say massive.. i am coming from old school CCM 452s from maybe 12 years ago tho.. So maybe im used to them not being body hugging?

    I just got these in the mail...

    I have always loved Montreal sticks (i have only just started using composite OPS, always used the Montreal 9950 fibrelights back in the day, So these came up at the right price, classic 4 roll design.

    Im upgrading from CCm pro tack 4 rolls or whatever from 10 years ago, they have warn through the outside leather..

    Also please note - my camera phone is stupid, the pink parts are infact orange.. so they are what you would call islander colors.
