Hey guys, been reading for a while and I like the comraderie in here. I've been playing roller goalie since maybe '98 or '99 with Reactor 3s as my first pads. Then got Nike/Bauer Vapor XX around '05 or '06 and immediately appreciated the "landing gear" as the Reactors had barely any. I play primarily roller and don't have much of a butterfly (tight knees and hips), but have recently been going to pick ups and stick times at my local ice rink. I figure to sub for one of my friends' teams now and then. My XX pads are around 12-13" (!) wide - I've never really given thought to how cumbersome the pads were, just thought "that's just how it is" until now. All the 11" models look nice and slim (and light!). I've read on another bb about the switch from 12" to 11" and most say go for it, it doesn't make any difference, etc. but I'd like to hear some of your experiences. Should I make the switch or do with what I have? TIA!
