That's a big part of the reason I love my FJ. The highway ride is so much better than a Jeep. Unfortunately, the roof doesn't come off.

Yep, you shared that with me years ago. I'm just saying that every time I have seen a palm labelled "digital", it has been thinner than the palms labelled "goat". Not saying that is always the case, just what I have seen with various gloves.

Yes, it is thinner than horse usually is, but not as thin as digital in the cases I've seen.

goat is a slightly tacky leather, it works well to add a little grip to any stick.

Hmm, there's a mysterious big black box on my porch from UPS and it has a big "W" on it. I wonder what it could be....

Agreed, not offensive, but totally lacking in class.

I think you are the outlier in the equation. Even the guys around here that skated on 3/4 like 90/75. I don't think any X/50 is going to bite as much as a X/75 in terms of pure gripping power. That said, a number of my guys that came from 1/2" didn't think that 100/50 had enough bite. They are all happy with the 95/75 now. The only guy that I have on 100/50 now is one that always said his skates were too sharp when they were freshly sharpened at 1/2". More than anything, I think it's important to try a couple hollows and see what feels right and works best for you.

I look at them as two different scales. The X/50 scale and X/75 scale, we'll leave any others out of it for now. As you noted, the 50's don't bite as much as the 75's. The chart on the blackstone page gives a pretty good idea where they slot in between each other.

Bittersweet one for me. Our team won the game and the championship series tonight, but I wasn't able to be there for the game. Pretty fitting though as I missed almost half the games for the season. I put up some of my best individual numbers this season and ran a scoring streak from the first game into the playoffs. Now to build on that for next year.

Merged into master topic

Most of the guys I have that were on 5/8 went to 90/75. Most of them felt that 90/50 had much less bite than they were used to.

Not really a major vent, but my scoring streak with the widow came to an end. This is the first time since I got the stick last summer that I haven't put up any goals or assists in a game. We still got the win, and that was the most important thing, just hate to see a run like that come to an end.

I won't be vindictive and post the weather where I'm going. But first, a playoff game tonight.

Done with work until the 24th, vacation here I come.

First playoff game, two assists and a +3 in a 3-1 win. I'll take it

Plus, a lot of people don't like conflict.

we're going to need pics of the doc, just to be sure

Ok, gather the pitchforks and light the torches.

Did they get your local too? We have an extra 1.5% that we have to pay locally on top of federal and state.

Damn, seemed like a nice guy when I met him. He was doing some work in the recording studio a friend owned a long time ago. I know he lived in the area for a while.

nice bins, where did you get them?
