Here is a photo of what I had added. You can fold it down and it will protect the lower area as you were wanting of fold it up to protect that area between your shoulder pads and pants.

Truth be told, I don't know of any belly flap that has truly been worth a damn other than back when Warrior added the extra (sixpack) protection in it a few years back. I personally had my pants modified with the Small Nash pad and its been great.

I can say with confidence that Superfeet are my go to insoles. I have always heat molded them in my skates and have at times skated hard for three hours with absolutely no pain in my feet.

That would be awesome. If for anything, just good to know.

The X1 pants are offered here in the states as the TRUE Catalyst 9X4 Pants. They are a more high profile pant like the 9000's or CCM TACKS, Bauer Supreme fit.

Just be sure to get the right flex and flex point. I'm personally a fan of the OG BLUE Mid kick and the High Kick VS models.

I'd say yes that its the same as the CCM.

Its very similar but has a bit more toe to it. Nice Max height though.

I don't think they are particularly accurate with sticks as many sticks are different models with current model graphics. But it is a fun page to check out and see who's using what. I enjoy seeing the skate changes myself. Connor McDavid continues to try the newer CCM models but always goes back to his faithful JetSpeeds.

Happy to see they are now getting the credit they deserve. https://www.geargeek.com/equipment/pro-reserve-vs-stick

I personally love everything about these. I have had three pair for nearly 3 years and they still are in almost new working shape. Swiftwick – HOCKEY 360° Cut-Resistant Hockey Socks

This was a great curve!! I hate that you have to pay through your nose to get it on just an ok quality stick. That being the Bauer ID program. I was always curious what this blade looked like in person. Very nice. Geppetto does great work.

If this helps at all, I was a long time user of the P89 and the P106. Always loved the heel/mid-heel sticks. Then I tried these others and really found them to be great. As I said, I did some transitioning over the last couple of years. First was a P71, Then I went to the PRO9271 and just for kicks tried the PRO9246 to see what all the hype was about it and ended up finding my curve. I will say that I really liked the lie of the PRO9271 which is basically a P71 with a P92 shaped blade and slightly longer. I still keep this with me as a backup.

Perfectly well said and I concur!! I wasn't the biggest fan of the P71 but really liked the PRO9271. Today I'm actually in my perfect curve (for now) the PRO9246.
