  1. Posting this as per request of a forum member. Today at the TBL equipment sale I let JR and Spreedizzle nudge me into making an additional, unplanned purchase... A pair of Walker Warrior Franchises with extra protection and leather added to the palm and base of the middle finger. As seen here: F that noise. Took 10 minutes and had to reattach the base of the palm to the cuff with an awl but here are the results: *Pics of gloves pre-reattaching the base of the palm. And the pussification materials that were removed:
  2. Well you know why they call it BFD right? I'll give you a hint, the first letter stands for "Big" and the third letter stands for "Deal."
  3. You aren't the only one. I hope knowing that you aren't the only one going through this helps, doesn't really help me but people seem to think it should.
  4. I think most people would be surprised how good they feel, even with the single-piece fingers. I don't think I'll get to using them though because I really don't like stuff resting on my wrist, besides my watch.
  5. Absolutely nothing wrong with the employees taking the high road but I don't see anything wrong with the response, that's all I'm saying. I probably would have responded the same way... actually, I have a tendency of giving people that "Wow, you aren't very smart" look.
  6. Degrading someone trying to help you isn't exactly a good course of action either. I think the customer was more out of line.
  7. From the sales side, I see nothing wrong with that comment. If he walks out on you, oh well you lost some business. This is actually an unlikely scenario from such a harmless comment. If you just agree with the customer; when he comes back in because they don't fit, you're the bad guy. You're a sleazy salesman just trying to make a buck. You can probably be nice and try to explain why he's wrong but it's unlikely he'll listen, he's more likely to cut you off and imply you are a "stupid kid" again.
  8. You'd be surprised, they're extremely mobile. Backwards flex: Gap coverage: Forward flex:
  9. The cuffs are matching, smooth to the inside and segmented with stitching on the top. Kind of a misleading pic but it's my standard "show it off" glove pose.
  10. Figured I had plenty of short cuffed gloves in the collection and it was time to add some diversity.
  11. Some nice pickups there, been thinking about getting a tapered one95 and a Perron 8.0.8, not that I'm a big fan of the 8.0.8 but his pattern is money.
  12. Wow, glad I didn't bite on one then. Those things are just wickedly grippy. Rutroh, Wilson CLs might be invading the Mack household, look at that freaking wedge! No trouble getting out of the sandtrap with that thing.
  13. The super sticky grip like on the OG yellow Synergys?
  14. Actually remembered that I started a thread about badass goalie equipment. Pics in this thread include the infamous Wonder bread pads as well as the 4 leaf clover pads and other Battram/Brian's specials. Link
  15. You forgot to post the Batman pads, I have them saved on my computer so I'll edit this post with pics when I get on the comp... Since I'm on the phone now.
  16. This is cool. Notice the tips of the fingers on the right hand; the middle, ring and pinkie fingers have leather tips... WITH plastic inserts. Also the base of the thumb on the right glove has additional foam. Gloves are super stiff but they close fine. The fit is NOT like a normal Z-air, it's tighter and the fingers are shorter... They fit and feel exactly like an Easton 1350 but with two-piece fingers. Edit: Geez, $226 + shipping for the other pair of these on eBay!!!
  17. 85. Between whip and regular.
  18. Do the sides first... After doing the sides I doubt you'll want to do the front.
  19. I Think you're measuring it wrong, no way it's over an inch. The Kovalchuk pro is 3/4" and the Niskanen is pretty much a retail Sakic with a weird toe shape.
  20. Not retail, there have been some pro gloves with that palm. You can spot it a mile away.
  21. Durasoft/Nash, overlay that goes up the base of the fingers, no?
  22. There's no crappy graphic on them.
  23. Pretty sure the NHL is 3/4" And confirmed: Click for Picture
  24. Ut oh, hell is freezing over... The Leafs in the Stanley cup this year? Nahhh.
